Pretty much means that a black person can say words with more than 5 syllables, doesn't ghetto or belligerent, does not use hood language, etc.

That has to be hell. I'm a Jamaican-American and it feels bad because I can barely understand other Jamaicans and I'm told, "I'm not actually Jamaican."
Client: I need an African American voice for this project! May I hear a sample?
Me: Sure! Here you are!
Client: None of these sound African American.
Me: But... that's me...
Let's get into this New Year on a right note. EVERYONE! Share your demo reels, no matter what they are. Commercial, animation, videogame, WHATEVER. I will retweet every single one of them and promote all of you. HIT ME!!
I will be aggressively positive for everyone because you deserve it. You all deserve it. Until I'm at that point, I will support everyone with all of my being
So, I've come to make an announcement! Ya boi is asexual and it took WAY too long to get to this point. My 27 years of life now make sense and I feel so relieved. But yeah, I'll be over here vibing.
I can finally proudly and excitedly say I will be the voice of my first mobile game character!!! His name is Benjamin and he's fun-loving but a little crazy. If you get the game Heroes Strike, look out for him.
Can cross this off my bucket list.
I guess it's now official, I am now being represented by Docherty Talent Agency for Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. This is a crazy step for me because I have no idea what I'm getting into but this will be a great learning experience. Let's see how this goes!
MILITARY THREAD
Today has been the last I will be donning this uniform. 6 years of service done. 6 years of learning about myself and life. It has been one hell of a ride and one that was worthwhile. I'm happy and proud to have joined.

"Oh look, there's the script! Fuck you, David Cage"
I still listen to their playthroughs from time to time. They are great background noise with their shenanigans
Incredibly excited to announce that I will be playing Max in the new mobile game, Panic Gem Odyssey!! It was A LOT of fun to voice him and I can't wait for people to experience this game.
Hey voice actors! Quick tip: If you have a session where you need to do intense stuff like screaming, hard coughing, gagging, etc. Remember to take care of your throat with warm ups, water/tea and good diaphragm technique. If not, your throat will feel the pain for awhile.
Client: Can you voice this 2000 word project?
Me: Just saw the script, it's actually 4000 words but sure! What's your budget? (I swear to god if you low ball me-)
Client: 10 dollars
Me:
Since I promoted myself yesterday, everyone promote yourselves!! Post your demo reels. If you have multiple, share them all!! I want the world to know how great you guys are so hit me with your best shot!!!
I would like to put my two cents into the email Paige shared: RACISM IS STILL REAL FOLKS.
Sometimes, it's not like what happened with Paige where they dance around it but you get the message.
I was called Ni***r 16 times in a row once. That's not dancing around it.
Hey guys, I know y'all really love to do the voice acting and the singing and what not but if you want to do this full time, you need to learn the administrative stuff too. Budgeting, emails, meetings, etc. We aren't just entertainers, we are running out own businesses.
@SnapsCube
This picture frustrates me because it's a submachine gun but it's also a pump action. How would that gun work?? It makes no sense.
Also, LET'S GO TO NEAR RECORDING DATE
Professional voice actor: "Take your time. This is a marathon, not a sprint. You'll get to where you want in time."
Me: *Sprinting as fast as possible* AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Working to get into anime is HIGHLY overrated. I know that's a dream for many, but why is that the end goal?
I want to entertain, teach others, make others happy after a bad day and ultimately have fun
I feel anime should just be another stop on the journey. Not the end.
We need a sitcom called "The Acting House" where insanity happens;
"How many takes are you fuckers doing?? I have a project due in 2 hours!!"
"WHO ATE ALL THE GRANNY SMITHS'???"
*Random musical numbers*
"How many barrels of Honey & Lemon tea do we have?"
There's also a llama
- RoosterTeeth on fire
- Bayonetta voice actress coming out with the truth
- Amouranth's domestic abuse allegations
- JK Rowling on her shit again
- Matt Walsh saying anime is satanic

I am proud of every single one of you for getting this far in your creative journey. With voice acting, singing, writing or whatever else; you are great. For greatness, is not found. It's made.
All of you are creating greatness
I can't wait to see you all in that next big thing
I don't know if anyone else does this but I love to imagine me and everyone in the VA community in some anime opening of us laughing, having a good time, going through tough times, side stories of love, lust, greed, envy and then in the end, all of us smiling ready for the future
Everyone, I need your help. I want to get a character demo reel out but don't know where to look.
VA TWITTER, DO YOUR THING.
Please help me find some great talent with directing, script writing and audio mixing. Because I sure as hell can't do any of that.
I never understood why, during game conferences, people are SOOO quick to judge indie games. All they want are the big titles from big companies but don't realize that games, EVEN INDIE GAMES, take a lot of fucking hard work and you're just shitting on it without even knowing it
Random confession: I have body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria which has been hitting me pretty hard these past few weeks.
I haven't been liking my body at all. I've been losing weight but something always feels off.
I always feel like I'm not meant to be a guy.
5-6 years ago on this day, I surprised visited her at her college dorm with a rose and candy. We hit it off instantly but sadly had to break up because she had to move to Florida. After 4 years of not seeing her, we meet again on the same day/weekend and it's like she never left
*Auditions for an audiobook*
Writer: *Accepts my audition*
Awesome!! Let's check this out-
*Gives me one day to submit first 15 minutes, 5 days to complete the whole 10,000 word audiobook and 1 day to accept or decline the offer*
Me:
Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope y'all are doing great but you know what it's time for?? Showcase time!! Promote yourselves!! Post your demo reels and if you have multiple, post them all! I want to show the world your greatness. Hit me with your best shot!!
Currently making a discord server for voice actors, artists and writers. Kind of like a mercenary group to find new jobs and to attack issues that happen within the communities.
I will always respect NSFW voice actors/actresses for what they do and how they take the shit that goes along with it. I don't think I could ever do that
I did one NSFW job and it went something like this:
"Ugh, I feel so weird and awkward"
"God, I hope my mom doesn't hear me"
Okay, so this may hurt a few feelings but I would like to rant this out of mind. It's been plaguing me.
I really think y'all be WAY too emotional half the time. It's like when the smallest bad thing happens in the VA community, y'all blow it up to bigger proportions.
Remember, it's okay if you are not emotionally or mentally available for anything. It's okay to stop or go slower than usually with what you're doing or planning to do. It's your life, your journey. Go at your own pace.
Yes, I did go through 88 demo reels and quote retweet them all. Yes, I am insane, thank you for asking.
To celebrate, here's me in sunglasses trying to be cool.
I would like to do something for you all to get your minds off things. Comment your name below and I will improvise a voice/scenario for your name.
Just a fun thing to ease up everything.
Got new professional headshots! I love these so much! I love the variety of spots, outfits and styles. The photographer was amazing to work with and has awesome prices. I wanted styles that reflected by demos (animation, commercial, etc.) I think I nailed them.
When you're a person of color, you never know who you can trust. You always need to have your head on a swivel, checking your corners, your back. Everywhere. Every single day. You never know when someone's going to come up to you and you think, "I'm going to get hurt or worse."
Getting contacted about an audition you did 3 months ago: "Congratulations! You got casted for the role!"
Me not remembering the last 50 auditions I've done:
Remember, success is silent. It's okay to post about what you've done but a lot of people don't want to hear everything single, little thing.
Work on your own thing in silence. People will know what you did when they see the finish product.
You can't get further from tweeting
I would like to apologise for making people worry. I didn't want to put it on Twitter but I was torn on what to do. I didn't want it to look like I was seeking attention. I wanted people to know where I was in my current state.
Again, I'm sorry.
Hey yo guys! I'm going to be doing an XCOM stream series featuring: You guys!
This stream will be "Voice Actors vs. Aliens", if you guys would like, I will create you a character in XCOM and see if you survive in the Resistance.
Just comment below and I'll make ya character!
ROLL CALL POST!!!
Let me know how you guys are doing. Are you all alright? Do you have something on your mind? Do you need someone to talk to? During this crazy time, I'm here if you all need someone to text, voice or video chat with.
I love seeing this because THIS is what black people look like. What people of all cultures look like. Big, small, tattoos, facial hair, bald, etc. So much diversity.
Seeing it represented here makes me happy.
I am so freaking happy to showcase my new animation demo! Thank you so much to everyone that helped me with this. Can't wait to show this to other professionals. YA BOI LEVELED UP!

For Memorial Day, I would like to do something fun. As a veteran and a relative of veterans, I would like to give you all ranks.
Comment your name and I will give you an honest rank of where I think you would land as a voice actor/animator/game dev
My super evil plan to support and help my VA friends is working better than expected! Soon, everyone will be known from different casting directors and they will get the roles they wanted!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Do you need a voice that is deep and inspiring or sly and eccentric? I will happily lend my voice to any project that needs a deep male character.
If interested in hiring me, please DM me here or email me.
