Love learning that I have more to learn!

Masking has been throttling my Voice Acting work, and unlearning those defense mechanisms is patient work.
Love yourselves, and become the best you are capable of becoming!

A gentle reminder not to take voice actors or the work they do for granted.
Most days, I spend 3β5 hours recording, and then hours editing on top of that. Itβs work I genuinely love, but itβs still work, and it can be really exhausting both physically and emotionally because so much energy and feeling goes into it.
And beyond that, many of us are juggling other jobs, personal lives, creative projects, and trying to maintain some kind of balance in between. π΅βπ«
Thereβs a lot that happens behind the scenes that people donβt always see, especially if youβre pursuing it seriously or full-time.
Just a little perspective for today β€οΈ
This may be a warm take in the field of casting for projects, but take this advice:
Do not listen to ANY auditions before a deadline. You will DESPERATELY want to filter ahead of time for sanity.
Don't. You'll mentally pre-cast and ignore later submissions.

@monicawebbvo "A very motherly capybara" is probably my favorite phrase in recent history, thank you for sharing that.
I would love an opportunity to voice an old lady Bugbear. Got the idea when designing a character ages ago, and the group fell apart before I got a chance.

@itsjoolaVO I hope you had an amazing time!
Theater is such an interesting place/passion, and so many interesting people gather there.

@MastarMedia I noticed there were a few adjectives missing.
Intense, passionate, powerful, compelling, dedicated, meaningful, noteworthy.
Not accusing you of anything, merely noting that "easy" does not always equal "better".
