Kobold voice acting best acting

Damn dude, you have some great talent with this!

I would love to do voice acting. I've done a bunch of stuff for Furrywood at BLFC but that's about all I have of a 'portfolio.'

Give  linapilchard a shout. She does a lotta voice over work, and might have a few ideas about what to put in a portfolio.

Oh yeah I did a collab with her recently. She's super nice and fun to work with.

Oh, that's a cool voice you have! :D

It's always been weird when I've seen your name in non-furry contexts, just because I'm not used to seeing identifiable furries in the wild!

You have hella talents.

Do the ironic and get a cameo in one of TFS's works so you can say you cameo'd for Takahata. Do iiiiiiiit.

I also miss the Idiot Box work you did with BoSchitt. Do you do your own videos somewhere?

I don't do my own because of my depression (speaking from a neurologist standpoint, it ruins the ability for your mind to produce the neurochemical that facilitates the ability for motivation. Been taking Antidepressants but they're a bit touchy since they open the floodgates of PTSD and a load of memories I want to keep quiet...

Being alone and not having focus makes me feel the depression, but any time I'm around people who know me seems to rebuild my mood. This is why I devoted myself so much to studying neurology - I wanted to know how to make my mind feel happiness like I had access to the console commands to my brain. Learn the chemistry, learn the actions and reactions, learn your own flaws... That 3rd step is the hardest.

But if a long-in-work plan works in November... No one will stop me from being a voice actor and being happy

Hells yeah on the November plan, I feel you 100% on the depression bit. I've had to accept that I simply cannot live by myself if I want to survive and thrive in the world, even with antidepressants. I'm really glad to hear you have a solution that will work for you, and have been working hard to implement it! I understand how hard it can be to even find the motivation to not just say "fuck it" and hide beneath the covers all day. Here's to your impending success!

The guy from Cowboy Beebop says to just have a simple track with no pauses to describe a voice.
I'd check his website out for a couple tips on getting your voice out there~

Steve Blum's voiced so many things that I'm pretty sure at one point in the early 2000's I was voiced by Steve Blum.

...can will voice one of my characters?

Sure, contact me via PMs or Telegram!

wow noice

You may also want to set up a profile on VoiceBunny.com. It's basically "Craigslist" for VA's. Project leader tells VB what he's looking for in a voiceover, VB picks out a selection of artists based on that criteria, and all the payment and stuff is mostly-automated.

Those are amazing.

Not so much towards creating a portfolio with your CURRENT recordings, but if you are interested in further ADDING to said portfolio with some official projects, I immensely recommend you trot on over to the Voice Acting Club (voiceacting.boards.net) and begin engaging with the community. A LARGE number of individuals who started off their hobby/career there (including myself) have gone on to pursue full-time professional careers within the industry, and it's one of your strongest first steps you can take in terms of making network connections and seeking/receiving proper, constructive feedback and critique.

Entertaining stuff, you sound quite charming. Well done!

Accents are hard to do unless you genuinely know the language you're trying to emulate. it could bury you if you don't pull it off. Everything's going to sound like Borat.

otherwise, sounds good, above par. Something like Don Bluth ought to pick you up. just stay away from typical cartoon network, saturday morning crap. you may think it's an entry, but it's a swamp you'll never get out of.

in general.... you have to move and live where the industry is. Dallas, etc.

The more I hear of a tone of voice and how it's said, the easier I can mimic it. -- Saying that I'm now curious how many things I could match and mimic, throw me some characters and lines and I'll try to see how well my talent can do

TF2 sniper ..

I imagine my characters with these.

The thing about British accents.... is that some people can pick out the exact region you're doing, and it destroys the image if you "jump" around from region to region... Bristol, London, easily confusing Wales, Irish and Scotch.

same thing with rural American, i can tell if someone's jumping between Texan, Appalachian, or confusing Alabama with "African vernacular". some people are real picky and point it out. real dicey

Definitely some good things you've got going on, but as an aspiring VA myself and having done many takes and recordings for a gaming project, it definitely will not hurt to look towards investing in a higher quality mic if you're wanting to try and get real notice. I'm trying to save up for one myself around the $200 range, and that's not including the amp, either. Need to see if there's anything of better on programs besides just Audacity. But yeah, after I did some recordings and playing them back, the sound bouncing off walls and just low quality made me know no one would even want to touch mine if it went serious.

Like yourself, I can nail the head on impressions almost to the 't' (though I'll admit I desperately need to work on improv...), and this can definitely help you on certain projects, but if I've learned anything is that most talent seekers are looking for something original, not impersonations. I swear I'm not trying to bash you down! Chances are you probably already know all of this, but it's just the hard facts that I've learned while doing research on what I want to do that will make me feel accomplished.

It was also mentioned before that for a proper 'demo reel', you want to have a recording of 40 seconds to a minute show casing what you can do. Go too long and the people you're trying to impress might get bored or think you're putting too much on certain voices. They usually want maybe 10 seconds per voice and no more.

I hope this helps!

I have a good mic, most of those were just from improv things I'd do on my phone while alone at work. It's more of 'putting an idea on paper' version of improv.

Got any examples of demo reels?

Ahhh, I gotcha! Makes much more sense now about the quality. Definitely a great idea especially if you're alone and won't be interrupted.

A great one I found actually came from Lanipator himself.

I've also heard several from big time VAs. One that sticks out the most was from Kevin Michael Richardson. Not up on YT, but on a different website... It was some time ago, but I'm pretty sure a quick google search can pull up many that you can draw inspiration from. Like Lani did, they say it's great to add some background music to add some flare and show you know your way around editing.

You've got some talents with the voices Gami. I hope that you do all you can to harness it further; just like giving your best on your artwork.
It's gonna be hard to make it in the big leagues because of the many sacrifices. But you will succeed.
Heed what everyone's telling you on this VA Biz to great detail and Just take it one step, buddy.
Good Luck and Stay Burnin', with invigoration!

From one aspiring V.A. to another, keep up the good work. Your work and quality is good, but it sounds as though you don't have a filter. I can tell ya from experience, nylon is a good substitute if you can't find a good filter.
