Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope. Nope nope. Annnnnd nope.

I’m not going to continue this conversation - it’s really obvious you are not interested in seeing another view other than your own. I’m glad you have such strong opinions, but unfortunately I’m going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Good day.

Excited and terrified are the perfect combo - I’m 25 and dropped out of school once because I did poorly. But sometimes you have to gather your britches and take a shot, and I’m so grateful for those who encouraged me along the way. I say do what you like. There’s an art to mastering and utilizing one’s emotions for a…

That’s quite alright! The terms get confusing even for me sometimes!

I’m attending a university in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, that side of the country) and I’m not super familiar with UCLA’s program - I love what I’m doing though, I can tell you that!

There are games that require this level of work - I’ve watched interviews where voice actors thought they were going on for a script and they start the day with screaming or death sounds, and when they ask for the rest, are told that is what they are doing for the day.

I pray that you learn how to be respectful of all, as I respect that you aren’t a believer in the profession of acting, which is just fine.

You forget a lot of these actors come from double duty - I’ll be in a studio across town doing a voice for “Cartoon Stars 2” and then have to make it to a gig for “Noodles In a Bucket”. They decide they want me at a time I can’t make it to, but have no give and refuse to allow me to be “late”. They book the time even…

That’s not silly at all. Voice acting can include hours of screaming (think of your favorite fighting games - those screams don’t necessarily get done in one take, often they require multiple), singing, crying, shouting; besides that, the actor has to be able to bounce through multiple emotions at a moment’s notice…
