RE: (SEMI) Professional Pursuits - Demo Progress

Obligatory sampler-thingy.
Being sick SUCKS. I've been sick for about 2 weeks now and I'm behind on recording. I wanna audition for Sapphire's Sexy Sound Project 'cause I know she's gonna make my demo sound good, should I be included on her list... The lazy person's way out would be to send in my crap demo and links to projects I voiced for, but she's a good friend of mine and I wanna give her the kind of effort she'd give back to me. Crossing my fingers to get unsick REALLY soon.
RE: (SEMI) Professional Pursuits - Climbing My Way Up!
@@; I HATE namedropping. It's the most abhorrent habit ever to me, but I don't mind pumping names since it's essentially promoting the works of others and, well, I'm pumping folks I'm working with! You can't deny that I've been getting around, mostly on my own and through auditions. That said, I'll be using this statement to segue into--
OMIGAAAWWWDDDD~ I'M SOOOOO CRAZY EXCITED FOR PUZZMOSIS~!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!
Yeah, the game Egoraptor is working on, but it's not so much the potential popularity factor that's exciting me... Good golly, Ego went to EXTREME lengths to direct me in person when I recorded Osma's lines at his house and I feel it's probably the best performance I've done YET! THAT'S what's making me excited! He's a great director~ I learned a LOT! Tomamoto was also very supportive! Afro-Ninja gets a name pump for the hard work too. I got to see some of the animations and pieces of the game work and sketches and and and adssfghgfjsdhaa
I'll ramble more about Puzzmosis when it's released. No leaks from me! HAHA!
And another reason why I'm talking about my voice acting "popularity progress" (ugh, that was disgusting to type out) is... Kinda weird. "Overlooked But Overheard", that's what I am, right? Especially since I've been actively doing this for 2 years (My "anniversary" is February 21st; starting year 3 soon). Well, since that I'm appearing in more and more popular work (typically with little foresight--you never know when something'll become popular, especially with up-and-coming producers), I'm actually getting recognized now. The interesting thing is... I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. Wow, I'm actually getting noticed for once? Neat! It feels nice to have your work recognized! Woohoo! And fewer people are misspelling my name too (just fewer, there're still name-misspellers out there, but I'm not gonna complain)!
What gets to me, however, is... Um... How do I put it... "Uh, I've always been here. NOW you notice me? After being so rude to me?" Yeeeeeaaaahh... Awkward. I don't just mean "popular" people, but my peers who I'm in relatively close contact with--I see 'em on forums, IMing devices, and Facebook. Sure, I suck at initiating conversations (it's a bad habit), but I hate being used. It peeves me when people ask me for networking opportunities and connections when they've never talked to me or taken me seriously. It especially peeves me when they get uncomfortably friendly with me too... It's in the same vein as namedropping. I'm generally friendly and helpful, but I have limits too.
I'm VERY used to people disliking me. Every time I do something, I expect the possibility of being flamed so I can take it with grace. I'm getting the hang of accepting compliments, but it's still new to me and I just dunno what to make of 'em sometimes. Ah well. Friends who've always been friends with me will still always be in my heart and I'm willing to make new friends~
-_-+ ...Under the condition that I'm not their fookin' doormat. /ramble
Art Hunt
The gallery didn't grow TOO much, but you know, it's mostly 'cause the artists are busy with school and life right now~ Good for them with their priorities!
I'm TEMPTED to start a gallery of all the (preferably original) characters I voiced for... You know that character composite collage thing I'm using for my NG picture? There's only so much room inside that box. I've been making it a habit to collect/cut out artwork of a bunch of characters (like an obsessive freak) to show folks "Hey, your speakers may be broken and your headphones might be missing, but look at all the different characters I voice for!" Much like my me-art collection, the characters-I-voiced-for collection is growing too.
It's corny, it's cheesy, and it's dorky, but hey, at least I know so~!
Lots of artists have been very nice in providing me .png's to save me the trouble of cutting up screenshots~ Mucho appreciation from me~<3
O_O; Now, since the characters may sometimes be the artist's representation of a pre-existing character (like parodies)... I include them too, but I wonder... Would it be too crazy of me to collect fanart of original characters I voiced for as well? Maaaaaaybe.
