Let's see, I started voice acting about eight months ago and I've been in almost 40 productions and a little less than half of those have been released. What got me into voice acting was really a mix of things. First is that I loved to act and do voices, but our city doesn't have the most active troupe or I don't find out about productions soon enough. Second, when I recorded my voice, it sounded similar to some voice actor I heard online. So because of those two things, I decided to try voice acting: which I luckily saw a post on theotaku.com about VA sites. I aspire to be in at least one professional production: be it VOs or plain acting. I don't have plans, like some, to try to have acting as a full-time job or at least their only one, but if they opportunity does arrive so that's how it would work out, I would probably take it. | |

Oh, this will be fun. Alright then. I've never actually been apart of any voice acting officially, or unofficially. But I have done loads of acting throughout the period of my life. My first produtcion I was apart of was a history skit back in middle school, but I was the main role. Then later in middle school I was in The Wizard of Oz, and at my church I was constantly in play productions for holidays. (and they weren't whimpy little plays, let me tell you, we were full out with our productions). The in highschool, I was a main role in Godspell, the following year I was the maid in Oliver!, and then I was the father/mother role in The Fantasticks. I was also a whole bunch of roles, including the voice of Hitler, in a history production created by my history teacher in high school. So that's pretty much it, while I haven't really done any voice acting projects I have always been involved with the theatre. | |

Oh good God. XD Well, I guess I have to thank TwilitWing and Yuu Tan of course for inspiring me to even pick up a mic and act. ^ ^' But, I think I got more and more interested since in my anime club at school we would do improv and I love doing that. <3 I have been told I could act if I wanted to, only I can't remember lines to save my life. o.o' Sooooo .... I and TwilightWing would work on scripts. Typing responses and so on. I would help her alot with doing some minor parts too. ^ ^' And music!
I think what inspired me most was when I did an audio for a school English assignment. My teacher loved it. He even used mine as an example in a teacher assembly to show how students can use audios and what not. xD He was proud of me to say the least, but I guess having support from someone I look up to really inspires me to continue working with some audios. Even if I'm not that good at it. ^ ^'
I don't know if I would make it my main career though. Maybe something for pure entertianment. Like my art. (Even though I hope to turn that to profit sometime.) I think though when I do become a teacher, it'll be a gift and I'll certainly try to get my students to make audios as well. | |

Oh dear... long story...
What initially made me want to act is basically summed up in one word: FUNimation.
Everything they do is amazing and the dubs are SOOO GOOD.
I would LOVE to work with them one day.
Another reason is the voice actors that work for FUNimation.
You know Vic Mignogna, Monica Rial, Carrie Savage, Steve Blum... all of them are fabulous actors and I love their works.
SO... that's basically it. x3 | |

I do it because I want to be able to finish projects all on my own. I was already writing, animating and started getting into music, so I started voice acting as well. I now barely do all of these things. | |
