...And those nightmares are often along the vein of the lines I owe haunting me in some shape or form. Not cool, man. Freaky emails threatening to destroy all I hold dear because I'm late with my lines? PM's eating my face because I'm taking too long to record? My recordings saying creepy stuff when I replay them? MY WORK IN PROGRESS RECORDINGS COMMITTING SUICIDE?!
asdhgjsfkhkg I think I woke up screaming one time too, no joke, but it was okay 'cause I slept at 6 AM and woke up at 1 PM.
I got soooo many projects done, but I have soooo many more to do! It's like I spend one whole day screaming, the next day resting ('cause while it doesn't hurt my chords, I get dizzy and light-headed pulling all-nighters recording), and often the day after that, I gotta leave the house to remember what sunlight feels like (oh, and visiting relatives, both distant and falling ill--I sometimes think I have too many relatives).
This is one hell of a winter "break", yo.
But seriously, even though it sounds like I'm going through hell working on these lines, I love voice acting and trust me, I'm hauling tail to get 'em done and awesome-like!
Voice Acting: Released Projects
I voiced for Lucca in the Chrono Trigger of NiN10Doh: To The 64th Power! According to my calculations...
I forgot to post this last time! This got released a while ago, like late November. I voice for both of the boys in this. I only have "1 boy voice" and that's the age 12 and younger range, but the animator insisted that I voiced for the older boy too, so... Challenge! This made me want to practice more boy voices. Hey, if I have 3 old lady voices, why not have at least 2 boy voices?

Art Quest: From Traditional Arting To...?
This needs its own section: My quest is to eventually make a flash series, as I've mentioned in previous journal entries. So, I've been developing my series for a while now~ Story-wise, I've been gradually ironing things out. "Straight to pages" never yields good stories (it also leads to more writers' blocks than it needs) and good thing I didn't run with the crud I initially came up with!
But most of all, I've been strengthening my drawing skills in general while fleshing out and working on character designs. Like, my "pen mileage" will be spent on scrappy rough drafts 'til the designs look good as a whole! I love how the more I learn about drawing proper-like, the easier it gets to achieve the results I want~ It's like the better I get at anatomy, my characters look less stupid whenever they pose!
Now, I think I'm decent in the traditional medium department (or with sketches at least). However, flash animations are a digital medium and usually, they... Don't look as pretty as my sketches. I want to cry every time I look at my digital pieces... Anyways, that means I oughta be doodling more in Photoshop to get better at drawing with a tablet. But Photoshop to Flash... I'm aware of the lag between strokes, so you can say I'm a bit intimidated about that!
And oy, I gotta learn how to draw backgrounds... Or find someone who'll do that for me, but how would that collaboration work? AND MUSICS! AAHH!! FINDING AMAZING WHILE AVOIDING COPYRIGHTED STUFF!!
And lastly...
Should I or shouldn't I have an opening or trailer/teaser for the series? All I know is that they can be epic-awesome, especially if they feature crazy amazing stuff, but...
