Hopefully one day I can be a part of a series that was so creativity accomplished, ESPECIALLY acting wise. The acting in The Final Act was on a whole new level. Everyone in every aspect of this series should be proud of all they achieved.

[Rhys Drakins | 🎙️🇬🇧 @Rhysins]

Just came back from The Final Act of The Amazing Digital Circus & it was well worth seeing it in the cinema. No spoilers, but I felt it was a satisfying end to a great series. I’m not ashamed to admit some bits got me close to crying, the OST did SO MUCH work for many moments.

[Rhys Drakins | 🎙️🇬🇧 @Rhysins]

I was also pleasantly surprised by how respectful the other people were when I saw it, considering many of them seemed under 18, several w/ parents/guardians, which made me ancient by comparison. I expected it tbf, but it made a few moments awkward for those parents.

@JustAVoiceActor Assuming my health stays okay for the next week, I'll be going to a Big Queer Picnic(tm) with the DnD group I am in. So for ideas, have a picnic with friends or do a queer themed DnD one-shot. OR be absolutely wild with it & do BOTH AT THE SAME TIME!

[Rhys Drakins | 🎙️🇬🇧 @Rhysins]

@RoboticSteve *Sees this is both furry AND wrestling themed, IMMEDIATELY reads the full series & shows my Character Demo Reel* I'd love the opportunity to be part of this!
Also my Meta socials in this video have since changed, so that is out of date. But everything else is as it should be.

[Rhys Drakins | 🎙️🇬🇧 @Rhysins]

I REALLY HOPE the NHS pulls its finger out of its backside & gives me my surgery date soon. I hate missing out on work related opportunities, both online and offline. I'm tired of feeling so powerless when I just want to make a proper living for myself.

[Meggie-Elise | Voice Actor 🎙️🌸✨ @MeggieEliseVA]

⚠️ A personal vent / reflection. This isn’t directed at anyone specifically, nor is it an invitation for debate, just something I’ve been feeling deeply lately.

When it comes to being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, know that you do not owe anyone an explanation.

You do not have to debate your identity, justify your existence, disclose every personal detail, or exhaust yourself trying to ease someone else’s discomfort just because they don’t understand.

People may have fears, questions, or beliefs they’re working through, and that’s theirs to navigate. It is not your responsibility to shrink yourself, over-explain, or put your life on hold to make others more comfortable.

You are allowed to set boundaries. You are allowed to keep parts of your life private. You are allowed to make thoughtful decisions for yourself without needing outside approval.

Disagreement does not have to destroy love, but love that requires constant explanation, defense, or self-erasure is not healthy love.

Your existence is not something you need to defend. 🌈

[Meggie-Elise | Voice Actor 🎙️🌸✨ @MeggieEliseVA]

This Pride Month, please just try to be kind to one another with understanding, compassion, and no judgment. There’s enough heaviness in the world already. 🌈🫶

[Rhys Drakins | 🎙️🇬🇧 @Rhysins]

What's a good way all you artists out there have done to improve your craft, particularly when doing digital art? I haven't drawn since finishing my Animation Degree in 2018 and I'm at a point where I'd like to gain back my lost abilities.

[🛸 Kai Hauser 🛸 Voice Actor ✨ @JustAVoiceActor]

VO community be aware of this SCAM please.

Random accounts are using a fake script to try and 'hire' you - pretty sure this is one of those 'send a bad check with more money than asked, ask for some back, check bounces" deals.

Just be careful!

[GLITCH @glitch_prod]

We employ over 80 artists to carefully work on every single part of the animation and creative process.
You will never get the nuance, complexity and beauty of a Ghibli film without the human hand and their love.

We will never use AI to replace art in our works.

@CaseyTheVA the way people can just delete roles without a care in the world, yet when we try to delete legit fake credits, IMDb is like 🙂🖕

@JustAVoiceActor @BenjaminCallins @calvin_joyal @rexr0sario @VynVoxVa @SJHarrisactor @itsnikovargas @PhoenixLynnVA @crashtako @GhaspeyVO @yuniverse__ @silvestr3y @TunnelVa @PR73_ @WilderCorey @shakyradunn I got tagged in this post by a creator I've worked with before (you are a gem @rock_with_vamp), so I'll add one of my demos here. All of my demos are admittedly out of date (production & socials wise), so I'm hoping to update them after I have surgery & save up funds to do so.

Please be careful of who you're auditioning for. This is from the same company.

Buford it isn’t a social media. It’s a service. The more you try to make it like a social media, the more you’re actively hurting voice actors trying to learn the hobby and industry :(
