Happy New Year everyone as well!
It's already half three at night here, but people are still trampling around, so I can't sleep. (I probably should not have drunken that captain with coke either...)
Well, I was absent for quite a while and haven't been here very long, but I feel pretty safe saying that you're all still part of the group as long as you'd like to be.
@Ahiku
I hear a lot of the voice actors are doing the faces and moving around. It makes the sound more genuine?
Well, sounding young is nothing bad, other people wish they do. Your voice is a pleasant innocent though. This is my personal taste, but I often don't like the very young/childish/innocent ones all that much, they tend to give me the creeps. Or overly squeaky just doesn't please my ears. But yours is still soft and you articulate very well that's also always a plus in my book.
Speaking of roles... it's really not that much and definitely just some tiny village stuff to keep the children/teenager busy. XD
Still I did have fun with that. And honestly I'm not confident at all, I prefer to not see any photos of me or even better don't take any in the first place. This makes cosplaying very akward and hard. Walking on a stage I can just focus on the act and I tend to not think about the fact that the audience would stare at me and instead focus on the character I portray entirely, what they feel and just let those feeling express themselves. The reward though can be from the audience in the form of laughter or reactions to what's happening. But definitely not in a way I as a person look in their eyes.
I'm horrified by anything being replayed to me, even just voice records, worse is video. I'm forced to watch videos of myself treating a patient played by a professional actor to train my communication skills as a therapist. I swear, even though I've done this for two years now. I still have a very, very deep dislike of having to watch myself. If it wasn't compulsory I'd honestly tell them to put the camera away and just give me personal feedback. I mostly just pretend to watch during the replay and suffer through just listening to myself talk. So I can pick out some sentences to be self-reflective which is what they want to hear from you.
