Now that it’s officially out, I’m honored to announce that you can hear me in The Legend of Zelda: #TearsOfTheKingdom .I won’t say who I voice, (or who I don’t), you’ll just have to find out for yourself when you play! It means a lot to be back for this!.#legendOfZelda #TOTK

And THERE’S the official Yunobo artwork! I’ve been waiting to see this for what felt like an eternity!. Spoiler Alert: If you didn’t know already, I’m back voicing Yunobo + The Goron Fire Sage. Hope you guys are enjoying #TearsOfTheKingdom.
This young, bulky Goron is Yunobo, a longtime ally of Link’s who recently began his own mining business on Death Mountain. It seems this once kind and compassionate Goron has been acting a bit strange lately… #TearsOfTheKingdom

Here’s your daily reminder that audio engineers are JUST as important as voice actors, writers and directors to bringing your favorite video games, anime and cartoons to life. Seriously, some of these people are straight up miracle workers and don’t get enough credit.

@Ylixon You’re absolutely right, that’s the party of the beauty of what actors do. I myself draw from my own experiences and personality traits and inject them into my performances. However for some VA’s, it’s not healthy if you always identify yourself as a character you’ve played.

Thanks SO much for all the love for Wuk Evu today!😍 This has been such a pleasant surprise for me. We as voice actors often operate within a bubble, so we never really know if a character will be well received or not. I’m considering commissioning some artwork for him. Thoughts?.

The fact that Margot Robbie wasn’t nominated for best actress or Greta Gerwig for best direction, YET Ryan Gosling WAS, is EXACTLY what the movie was trying to tell you. The Academy completely missed on this right here.
"The optics of excluding #Barbie's Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie from the directing and lead actress categories — the women most responsible for a critically acclaimed film that became the biggest blockbuster of 2023 — are not good"

1) I think voice actors should receive fair compensation for the work that they do. 2) I don’t want to see any Jennifer Hale slander on the timeline. That woman has been nothing but a force of good in this business.

RIP to one of the absolute greats. So many favorite characters, so many memorable performances. Your work was a gift to all these years. Of all his performances, his Broadway run of August Wilson’s “Fences” doesn’t get enough attention. Simply powerful.

Actors shouldn’t have to go public with stuff like this. Seriously guys, nobody wants to reach this point, but it’s an actors last ditch effort to resolve this matter. We’ve all had projects that take a little long to pay, but this was some conscious next level disrespect.
