Aside from that, I have some other neat little news items that I have yet to share directly with Newgrounds. TomaMoto is slowly movin' on up the food chain. I recently received a call from a local video game studio, Artificial Studios, to do a recording session for the the cinematic demo of an upcoming game they're working on. Now I originally met these guy about a year ago when I was auditioning to voice act in their first real title, Monster Madness (http://www.monster-madness.com). While I didn't fit any roles in that game, I actually did hit it off pretty well with the audio people who were there casting that day.
Okay, so back to the call. Of course, I agreed to come in, very excited since this would be my first time ever being called into a studio to do any sort of paid voice acting. All I can say is that things there were really awesome. Everyone at the studio was really nice. Aside from the script writer and the main audio guy, I also met a lot of the game's artistic talent. As I was walked around and introduced to all of the concept artists and modelers and animators, each one would really enthusiastically show me the work they'd done on the character I had come in to voice.
During the recording session, where the lead developer was actually sitting in, he told me that even if I don't voice the main character in the final game, that they definitely would want to use my voice for other roles because of my versatility. I was naturally flattered and excited. The session itself was quick (about a half hour) but fun, and at the end of it all, I found myself not really wanting to leave.
I imagine that sort of "small firm full of cool people" feel is something like what the newgrounds staff experiences at work. More and more, I want to work in this sort of setting as opposed to in a crowded corporate mess. Of course, if I become a career voice actor, I'll probably do quite a bit of floating around, but I know not yet in what direction my career shall take me.
I would like to thank everyone on Newgrounds along with all my other friends who have supported me, my voice work and my comedy up to this point. Your laughs and praise are what keep me going and I hope to rise to new heights with your help.
Peace.
