My toxic and abusive ex told me not to pursue voice acting because I'd be "wasting my time" so I made a list of stuff he enjoys and would figure out who cast those things and audition for them. Jojo was the first one. Disgaea was another. I think I have like 2 more things left.
I have been given the official okay to announce that I voice Ermes Costello in the English dub of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean. Playing her has been the biggest challenge and honor of my career so far. I love her endlessly, and I hope you do too. 💗
Hey, guys, guess what?
There are places where you can get free or cheap voice actors on the internet who are just starting out.
There are people that just want to get their feet wet doing this kind of work.
You don't need to resort to AI for indie animation.
K so if you see a game that offers this, look in the terms of service for "in perpetuity" because that means they will be able to use your voice forever in other projects without paying you no matter how well a game does
EA new patent would allow players to voice characters in games themselves
You would input speech and then the tech would replicate your voice for in-game characters
Would you use this? 🤔

Oh wait I forgot!! He loves fighting games AND mecha anime and I ended up in Street Fighter AND the English dub of 86!!
HAHAHAHAHA I did it!!
Spite quest over time to just enjoy my dream job and happy relationship and wonderful life. 🥹💗

Hey everyone!! I have Ermes prints available (drawn by the AMAZING
@noonvincent
) in my Streamily store. The link is in my Twitter bio:
Have an awesome day!!
You see that? That's a person who drops everything to help everyone around her and has helped countless new people break into this industry, getting everything she deserves by booking her dream role.

Hey gang, sorry to have to say this, but I will not be signing lewds of characters I voice at my autograph table at cons if they are from a show clearly aimed at children. I feel like that legitimizes it, and I need to keep my table safe for kids and parents.
There are several actors in this industry who are nonwhite that changed their stage names to more white ones so they could work more. I almost decided to do that. But then I'd be the only Tiana Camacho in town, which is far more powerful than changing it.
Hello everyone!! I'm happy to announce that I'm Selena in
#FireEmblemHeroes
!! I would love to thank
@Seitz_Unseen
for directing me and
@Cupofteaprod
for trusting me with bringing her to life. It's an honor to be part of such a prolific franchise!!
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you're not entitled to a career in something just because you're a fan of it, and trying to tell you that you need to be ready for a career in what you're going for isn't gatekeeping.
A lot of people want my advice to break into this industry but I'm going to be super real with you and tell you something that no one else will probably tell you. Buckle up.
Also guys you don't have to feel sorry for me; that relationship ended long ago and in with someone now who I love very much and makes me super happy. The point is I dealt with my trauma by setting goals, meeting those, and enjoying my life along the way. 💗
If you're an independent game developer, you can get voice actors looking to get their start and are willing to work with your budget at a wonderful place called the Voice Acting Club. It's not hard. You don't have to resort to AI.
I really feel like Encanto was the first time I saw a Latin American family in an animated film that actually looked like mine, and that's why it means a lot to me.
Encanto really nailed the multiracial family look. I believe every single one of these characters are related regardless of their differences in skin tone or hair type.
I guarantee you that all of your favorite voice actors would jump at the chance to voice memes you post featuring our characters, but we can't. Because of our contracts.
My voice acting hot take is that the idea that we need to be "professional" at all times is a lie made up by people projecting their insecurities onto others. All I do is shitpost on Twitter and I am extremely busy. People want *people*. Be yourself.
I had this ex who told me voice acting was a waste of time and that I couldn't do it which is funny because it's my full time job and he's also a Jojo fan soooo...
Guys I have to be real
It probably feels cool when someone you look up to wants to have a friendship with you.
But if you are a minor in any way and they are super popular you need to be super careful and set boundaries. Not every person over 18 who you confide in is a friend.
Honored to announce that I'm taking on the role of Glynda Goodwitch in RWBY: Ice Queendom!! I love being her voice, and I hope you all enjoy RWBY Ice Queendom when the English dub drops on September 25th!! 💗
Dive into the incredible story of RWBY: Ice Queendom with the voices you all know and love!
Watch the English Dub episodes on Rooster Teeth starting Sunday 9/25.
Also a fellow SA survivor, I know how hard it is to tell your stories, and recognize how hard it is to publicly come forward when so many invalidate that experience. Me heart is with you guys today. I'm sorry you knew a monster. This is all I'm gonna say about it.
A bit late for Pokémon Day but it's such an honor to play both of these strong, beautiful characters in one of the most formative things I experienced as a kid 💗
@mariannemiller
And to add more to your point, kids aren't things you can bring into the world to fill voids inside of you that other things like therapy could easily help you with. They're people. They have autonomy. If you can't respect people, don't make any.
Please don't pit voice actors against each other for voicing the same character; not only do we realize that this often happens as a general reality of the industry, but A LOT OF US ARE FRIENDS WITH EACH OTHER. We don't like seeing people put our friends down.
The reason why we are so happy for Deven Mac is because he mentored a whole bunch of your favorite voice actors. Me included. You have no idea how much this community loves him.
Normalize not RTing peoples racist tweets so that they get zero engagement. Algorithms can't tell the difference between good and bad posts. Just what gets the most attention.
There was an error posting this before sry.
I found out my doctor's daughter is a fan of Chuggington so I recorded her a little voice message as Rosa!!
Because some VAs will literally get harassed/death threats from fans who don't understand actor =/= character.
I have voiced quite a few villains, and it hasn't been an issue at all. Cannot say the same for other folks. Everyone's boundaries are different.
Talking to VAs I notice a bit of a disturbing trend, VAs who don't want to play characters who do very bad things. Is this something others have noticed? Any VAs wanna comment on this? Have you turned down a role because your character is pure evil? (cont)
Hey folks!!
I didn't really expect to go as viral as I did (it was just a silly meme!!), so I wanted to answer a question that keeps coming up; why be in shows to "get back" at someone? It's not about that. It's about healing so I can follow my dreams.
CW: SA, Suicide, PTSD
I notice that a lot of my roles are "race neutral," as in anime, robots, aliens, mermaids, vampires, etc.
Barely any white folks in comparison. But loads of POC. I've even read for open ethnicity stuff, only to have the race change to black, latine, or both when I book it
Hmm.
@mariannemiller
Plus I really think a lot of trauma that people have as kids stems from them being brought into the world when their parents weren't ready for that responsibility of raising a child because of societal pressures from other people. I think it's really unhealthy and sad.

People who secretly compete with the people they consider their friends have got to be some of the most pathetic people on the planet.
Really? Your friend had a good thing happen to them?
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY FOR THEM.
Hi
@elevenlabsio
I heard recently that you were doing a compensation model for all of the voices on your site
I recently came across a post that had an AI voice of my character on it and I have yet to receive a single cent. They said it was on YOUR website.
Street Fighter is a game that means a lot to me personally because it pulled me out of a lot of dark places. I main Cammy and secondary Zangief so to have Lily appear in their character reveals feels like some sort of fever dream. I can't believe this is real.
Guys, voice actors generally LIKE being tagged in fanart posts of their characters. A lot of the time thats how people end up designing prints for autographs at cons. We see fanart we like and commission the artist.
We just don't like being tagged in gross stuff. 🙃
Lily's accent is my grandmother's accent. She basically raised me, so I was steeped in her sound constantly. So when I do Latin accented characters, it's THAT sound I pull from, so that it's rooted in something real and authentic to my blood memory. 💗
I'm gonna be sappy about
@KiraBuckland
right quick. Kira was one of the first friends I made in LA. I came here for a screening of a DreamworksTV show I did and needed to do pickups for a commercial. She barely knew me, let me use her booth at 11 PM, and saved me in a pinch.
I am a firm believer that how you treat someone when you know they have nothing to give you or offer you in return, but is otherwise good to you, says everything about you as a person.
I almost changed my name to a stage name because of the fact that it was clearly ethnic and a lot of people weren't prepared for it. Misspellings misprounciations, etc.
I decided against it because I am the only VA out here with this name and that makes me extremely powerful.
So I spoke to a bunch of AFAB non-binary people, and after deliberating with them about my own gender journey, I can comfortably say that I'm non-binary!! I wasn't sure there wasn't a label for my own brand of gender divergence. But I'm glad that this feeling has a name!!
I did a class once. I was almost full-time. This classmate asked me if I was in any anime, and I told him, "No, but I'm in these franchises that are kinda well known." And he said to me "Well, we all start somewhere."
I had Marvel and DreamworksTV credits whe. He told me that.
If you are called out for treating a POC differently than someone who is white, and you immediately get defensive, you haven't made a commitment to bettering yourself as an ally.
Hey guys here's a protip:
If a guy has dated nothing but a string of women that he says are all "crazy" with few to no real exceptions, he's probably at least a little bit emotionally abusive.
@WendeeLeeVO
@anairis_q
Wendee, with all due respect, me offering condolences to someone who was *very publicly* recast isn't a slight at you. Anairis is a friend and a colleague, and I figured this was a case of you not returning to the role after it being offered back to you.
"I'm an indie animator just trying to do my thesis/do a passion project and don't wanna use AI. WHERE DO I GO?!?"
@VoiceActingClub
I did a LOT of indie stuff to build my resume, get a lot of experience, and now I have a career. And i worked tjroihh there. Think of it this way:
@DamanMills
It's just Gen Z making sense of the hellscape they've inherited from a generation that has continuously pulled the ladder up from them knowing they're going to have an inhospitable planet with poor resources, because existence itself is just absurd to them now. Nouveau Dada.
