Voice Acting

When I was young, my mother and my older sister both used to read me stories.
Now, a lot of people, when they read stories, they are relatively monotone, they don't try and make distinct voices.
My mother and sister were leagues above most people.
I grew up with sincere acting, character voices, just a lot of fun for a kid.

I have always enjoyed modulating my voice, saying silly phrases or saying normal phrases in strange ways.

So much so, that I have for you a single video (from a group of 4 or so) from a channel I made in high school, where I did a "dramatic reading" of a tumblr post about a bag of chocolate milk.

Now, that style of reading came from somewhere, this was a bit more in fashion 10 years ago, but there's a channel by the name of Roy Kelly, who was a large inspiration for me initially in creating this kind of work.

This past year I finally put my interestes in voice acting into a real creative pursuit, I put myself out there, learned editing software,
cut my teeth on the challenge of making Content in the bloated landscape that is the modern internet.

I read memes in silly voices.

You can click through the link on that embed, this one popped off really hard. It has roughly 200k views as of last I checked.

Fair warning, a lot of my content is dumb or very political, sometimes both.

If you'd believe it, I didn't come up with this all on my own either.
I have a new slew of inspirations nowadays
from the very popular professional voice actors shitposters known as Luke Correia and Gianni Matragrano
as well as a few lesser known accounts: Jeaney Collects, Voice Quills, Vanegood.

EVENTUALLY I'm hoping to have the opportunity to dive deep into my making more silly meme videos
as well as a couple larger (but still mostly comedic) projects I've had on the backburner
and maybe start trying out for voice acting on places like behindthevoiceactors
maybe even making audiobook style pieces.

I'm good enough at programming, and I don't particularly want to monetize my voice acting hobby, but I think in a more just world, I probably would be trying to do this for a living instead of programming.
