For as long back as I can remember, I've been told that I should work as an announcer/radio/advertising because of my voice. I responded that it was a nice thought, but I had no idea where to get started. (Also, side note, but is that a low-grade insult on your looks? "Wow, your voice is great! It almost distracts from your face.") I chased a few leads (called into radio stations, googled some mythical phone number that exists on cards all around Hollywood for V.A. work, etc.) but nothing ever came to pass. But I've found this place and I'm putting myself out there. I don't know what the future holds, but I'm going to face it head on with my head held high and putting one foot in front of the other.
I have some background in theater, comedy, writing and I guess you could say some streaming (I used to be a guild leader/Main tank for several years where I led raids 2-3 nights a week, doing 2-4 hours of jokes, commentary and the like. I've been told hundreds of times to start streaming, but I don't know how any of that works. If I had started recording back then, I could have made something of it. But I'm afraid the market is too saturated, and I probably don't belong.)
As to me, I'm a veteran, I've coached soccer the last three years, trying to make a board game & I've got a handful of philanthropy and passion projects that I support when I can.
I have got that B.D.E. (Big Dad Energy), pretty easy to talk to/work with and in my limited free time I have been trying to chip away at a small mountain of books and a small mountain of games that I am only 40% sure I'll be able to get through before I die. My voice acting inspiration/hero is Kevin Conroy. I would have loved to have met him. His performances were a shining beacon to a really dark time for me.
Well, thanks for taking the time to read all that. Best wishes to everyone and perhaps we will work together on something in the future.
