Madness! Professional VO work! and Thank You NG!

Posted by RicePirate - September 27th, 2010


MADNESS
Hadn't posted in a while. Just wanted to give my two thumbs up for Madness ... holy crap what an amazing day of entries. Really this entire month has been one home-run after another. So much talent here ... really inspiring.

VO WORK
Aside from the enjoyable success of the few projects I took part in this month, I've been lucky enough to voice for a great deal of projects that have yet to be released. But because of the snowballing VO work on NG, I was inspired to finally purchase some decent recording equipment AND build my own recording box (it's collapsible!).

GETTING PAID BIATCH!
A week and a half of professional VO work! I don't know if it's the whole work-begets-work phenomena, but I've voiced almost everyday for the last 10 days for Starship English, Sing Sing Easy to Read, OutStart, and Humana Points of Caregiving. Tomorrow, another session for some tubing company. $150 an hour, all non-union work. So all things considered, the week has been great :)

ACTING
I was cast in an equity approved showcase original production with the Ateh Theatre company here in New York. They're small but have already gotten good press from the New York Times. Shows begin mid October. If you're in the city and care to see me play a Marxist Butler attempting to undermine the Lord and Lady Hightower, I'll be posting links later.

GRAPHIC DESIGN
Plus, the graphic design company (ArtistUpgrade) my wife and I run will be launching our new site (9 months delayed) and we've grown to the point of hiring our first full-time employee :D

THANKS!
I can't thank NG and you talented mofo's enough for your inspiration and support. I'll be 30 this December, but I feel like I'm learning more than ever. This is greatly in part due to my desire to actually learn how to animate and illustrate ... on a "contender" level.

FUTURE PROJECTS
- In the heat of the Dub Collab, which is coming together very nicely.
- The Swingers collab will be released in a week or so... if Luis's schedule doesn't get hi-jacked by more important things (than swinging wieners?)
- Possibly another 24 hour collab (pending my rehearsal schedule)
- Recording the VO for RWA's awesome Halloween piece.
- More VO stuff
- finishing up my collab entires (namely, for Space Ghost)
- STARTING ALL MY IDEAS THAT I PUSHED BACK DUE TO EVERYTHING LISTED ABOVE!

Thanks again, guys, for keeping my creativity buzzing :) See you on Stickam :P

VO work? Whats that?
Also, hello!! :P

VO = voice over

You and me.

I think we can be friends.

You're not a dumbass.

My wife would disagree with you.

But I thank you, otherwise.

Be careful, I might just take you up on that offer :)

I live a life of danger ... and your work is dangerously cool :)

woah, for some reason I kind of predicted that you looked like that. I was right!

That's creepy, dude. :)

How come it took you so long to join NG and show your skills?

rofl ... I was building up some skill sets on Whirled (www.whirled.com). It's where I learned to use Flash. 'course that was all character design and a couple of bgs ... no "scenes". Anyhoo, I got tired of watching you guys have all the fun, so I made the jump.

So many talented people here :D

Mick! Glad to see you are busily productive! Gobble gobble ;D
