My video game demo reel, the culmination of nearly four years of consistent training.

Written and directed by Arianna Ratner
Produced by @micdelay at @RealVoiceLA

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@BlueIsleStudio Yeah, beautiful looking game, can't deny it.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@MalouLavalVO @RealVoiceLA Nice! Who did you work with? I did my commercial demo with Craig and my video game demo with Arianna.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@Rustic_Panda Love to see the progress. Curious though, why is the Kickstarter listed under Poysky Productions? Seems like a different studio.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@RAliance45 Spent a lot of my teenage years playing Devil May Cry and God of War (PS2), so I'm loving this. If you end up needing additional voice acting at some point, I'd love to chat.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@LapisArsene You guys need to start looking for reasonable answers to your own questions. What if he wasn't available? What if he doesn't want to do it? What if the studio found him difficult to work with? Because these are the real things that lead to re-castings, not fan conspiracies.

I'm back! For this #screenshotsaturday here's a video summary of things I've been working on since the itch demo! I've been trying to add in a lot of QOL and highly requested features based on the survey. #gamedev #indiedev

@treason76038 @RealKalebConner @TropicalMaku @maximilian_ Here are some possible ideas:
1. The VA didn't want to return.
2. The VA wasn't available for scheduling reasons.

Every time this comes up, there's always at least one person who just assumes it was completely arbitrary and that no attempt was made to get the original actor.

@Golden10Wingss @NyxMoonReads I can't give a clear answer without knowing what your specific circumstances are. Generally, you just use leftover money from a day job to pay for classes.

@NextaleGames This looks great! Feels like SRPG's are having a resurgence. How far along is the game in its development?

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@jacen_wade It's not a professional-level platform, but it has a place in the ecosystem for novice/hobbyist VA's. I still haven't entirely outgrown it myself. Most other venues will have better opportunities for making money. CCC is about access and transparency for newcomers and hobbyists.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@Rae1st_VO First name only is pretty rare, but I've seen it, usually with uncommon first names, or uncommon spellings of first names.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@Rae1st_VO Hi Rae, honest answer here. Using your real face/headshot is a best practice if you're looking at VO as a professional pursuit. If VO is just a hobby, then it doesn't really matter. Stages names are common in VO, but usually they still look like real names.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@MalouLavalVO Hey Malou. Give regional agencies a try -- agencies outside of LA and NY. Also, I didn't see a commercial demo on your website. That's something that pretty much all agencies anywhere are going to want. Do you have one?

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

Need to get myself into some dubbing classes, just in case.

Mecharashi Commemorative Video: A Flower Blooming Amid the Ruins

Greed and hypocrisy bury the truth. A tide of steel washes over all without mercy.
Yet even a fleeting bloom can burn bright as fireworks.
May every flower that blooms amid the ruins find its way to dawn.

@_SpyDtroid_ All of the FF8 summon animations went pretty hard.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@turnbasedlovers Yep, this is a buy for me.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@more_meat_loaf @DiscussingFilm I mean, I think the whole point of this was that she didn't really want to.

[Andrew Cretella 🎙 @AndrewCretella]

@DritentVoicing @MaddieMorrisVA Plenty of great classes and coaches available without "connections." Costs money, yes, but that is a part of the path.
