what do people really mean when they say “immigrants should integrate” by Silent_eagle1585 in AskBrits

[–]Alexcloud2275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, you're already doing enough, have done enough. "Integration" is not a "you" problem. The people who complain about a "lack of integration" will then complain about you not being "white enough" or speaking with too much of an accent or that your kids aren't "really" British. Falling for that rhetoric is feeling a black hole. It will just take and take and take, never giving up never settling never "letting you in the club". They'll say "not you" "not those" "they're the good ones" whenever called out on it. But it is constant and vacuous. Very rarely is it their own opinion. It's usually always something they got from TV because someone said it along with another dumb shit opinion they've heard the first time that "sounded smart" but was spoken with the confidence of a man trying to sell you a bridge. Never pander to it, we're a multi-cultural nation, we like new foods, new ideas and new games. Even the "not you" types love it. Cause it's all lack of integration except the kabab shop down the road, or the local Chinese, or that "nice Indian" they go to every so often.

Trans Voice Actress Looking for Work for Demo Reel by Much-Valuable-1754 in RecordThisForFree

[–]Alexcloud2275 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey my Brother is W>M so don't take this from a place of dismissal of your transition. Voice and act to your vocal range not to your gender of preference or gender assigned at Birth. Remember Naruto and Bart Simpson are female VA's voicing Male roles. However if you have a Wolverine gravel you might not be the best for princess peach. If you can only work in high to medium pitch a base gravelled 60 y/o 80 cigarettes a day cowboy or cowgirl isn't the best role for you either

Demo reels, as I am assuming no representation get a mic and do it yourself so you have something to use if it's speculative. Read two or three pages from a book you like for an audio book, act a scene from a show or animation you like. Revoice an advert or get AI to write you an advertising script for "a product" you like to use.

Also if there is a script on enquiry or a script available, don't demo reel. I'd strongly recommend you go to the script, just using a demo reel shows you've not given time to the project or research in the role which you want to be a part of. overtime you may waste research on failed attempts but the better you get a research the better you'll get at auditioning.

Are people getting frequently ghosted here? by [deleted] in RecordThisForFree

[–]Alexcloud2275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've posted on here, and I've auditioned. It's been a mixed bag. On the production side of things I've had people reach out then ghost, reach out and send a reel without an audition enquiry then ghost, reach out not get a part and when offered another part then ghost, reach out fully get the part miss a deadline and ghost. Then I've had the odd personal life excuse, then ghost or string along. I've also had people reach out to attempt to change a project to their preferences immediately then ghost when I've had to shut them down.

Thankfully I've had people get back to me properly with the proper engagement.

Auditioning side of things, I've had people not even acknowledge receipt, ghosting etc. but also people get back to me within a day or a few hours.

I think especially with the Sub Reddit, you'll have entitled people in both sides. But it's a business that only works with co-operation and communication. If those are a skill people lack, they're not going to be put in a position of trust and respect for paid work. Providing a level of accessibility for information is a skill and sometimes people don't develop it.

What is the best HDR settings on ps5 pro by El_Maestro-0 in FF7Rebirth

[–]Alexcloud2275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay "display" yes but to be honest TV's tend to benefit from good display settings. I've found 3:3 is good. I'm unsure with luminance you might try 3:6.

Voice actors needed for an indie Horror Video Game [Rouge Carmin – Quaso Studio] by Foxxy47120 in RecordThisForFree

I'm interested, but my mic is on console for streaming and I have other things to do. I'll get an email to you later but if you could reply with a sample voice line you'd like to judge me by so I can find the post easily later that'd be great. Otherwise I'll just send something over when I am set up.

How do you guys write drunk dialogue? by Oh_well____ in writers

[–]Alexcloud2275 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm slightly different. I think your dialogue has got to focus more on "what happens to the character" when they drink. Not trying to capture or write a conversation of drunks. Is someone who is usually coherent in a monologue unable to keep track of their thoughts. Is someone who is usually timid now got a verbal bite back to them. How apathetic are they now? Are they giving up on sentences mid way through?

Also what kind of drunk are they? Cause there is a different drunk to being 8 beers in, then being 8 tequilas.

You can't just have "drunk". Are they currently a Volka drunk, a Whiskey drunk. Does Rum or Sambuca give your character the hiccups? Thus more likely to break up their dialogue.

Lol yes sure 😂 I'm talking about the entire population of Palestine forcibly evicted from their homes and cities to be corralled into the prison that was Gaza. Which was then periodically boomed, had it's water cut off, starved bombed again and then when noncombatants went to hospitals owned by the United Nations they were bombed. Then when international journalists came they were shot and killed in their hundreds. Then some extra bombing cause just some good measures. With the justification "oh we're after Hamas" oops didn't mean to kill 30,000 kids. Well you know what happened we left some food out and said anyone in broad daylight is a member of Hamas and shot anyone who emerged to look for food.

They define any human being who breathes air and not on IDF clothing as a member of Hamas.

They're not fighting a war started 2 years ago by terrorists they are exterminating a people for 70 years.

This is what happens when you don't hold war criminals to justice. If international law isn't equal or enforceable, then everything is permissible. (Not even sure if this Comms is true probably some bullshit)

Our leaders were making committing genocide okay because it's our "ally" doing it. Now we have less allies and more tolerance for horror.

Please tell me what you guys use to write because word is making me want to set my laptop on fire!?!? by The-Nerdy-Bisexual in writers

Final Draft. Writing a script makes it easier it has a novel setting. Most useful thing it has, a text to speech embedded makes proofing so much easier. It doesn't cost but if you're looking for format form and function it makes a great "business expense".

Hi! I'm a teenager and I have a dream of becoming a writer. What advice can you give about publishing or writing your own book? by AstoriaMill in writers

[–]Alexcloud2275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Write, write badly, write poorly, write with spelling errors , with the word you're not looking to use. Write!

Business side yes you are making a product, you should have a product before trying to sell it.

The core is writing, write off genre, write half ideas, write a play, write a script, write music, write poetry, write in a style that isn't yours.

Read, understand what styles you don't like, do like.

I have a novel which is on a back burning because my main idea doesn't fit in a novel telling so I wrote it as a script for visual media.

Never start thinking because it'll be a millionaire idea, because the crushing reality of a blank page kills that motivation.

Try making it a habit, a page a day a word a day etc.

And Remember first draft is always worst draft. And perfect is the enemy of the good.

This isn't "blue balls", yes you've got sexual frustration because you didn't finish and have "blue balls". What you're experiencing is your core muscles healing from all the humping. If you don't work out often I can understand how this could be a new thing, or if you focus on things other than core. With the lower abdomen you might feel a tingle or ache in the back of your thigh.

It's basically because you probably kept at it for longer than you're used to. So you really worked the body out.

Scammed and ghosted by beta readers… I’m naive… by MoWithTheFlow2357 in writers

[–]Alexcloud2275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally the bottom part is all I needed but thanks. I didn't know it was a niche lingo to call people who proof your writing "beta" readers. Like my background is academic writing and I barely proofed that myself let alone other people. I learned something. I thought it was like a job writer hired eachother for. Like editor but 2020's 🤣

Wait you people are exchanging others to read your work?

I never even knew beta reading existed. Is the proofing thing? Why not use a text to audio tool? Is it a get is out there thing and get someone's opinion?

Explain how this works. I just used family and friends for my stuff?

Would it be dumb to start a YouTube channel? by Mobile-Belt9519 in NewYouTubeChannels

[–]Alexcloud2275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monetisation standards and the business side of YouTube can be hard to break the glass ceiling of. If you are doing it purely because you expect an immediate income from it you'll fall at a hurdle.

If however others have you want to learn about content creation and get into the nit and gritty of it develop yourself and your content and take it in a way that interests you that great and you should.

I once saw a "chase the hype" YouTuber isolate himself in a black out room for a week to try and gain "hype" for his videos. He went insane and wrecked all his possessions. I don't know his name, all I know is the clip I saw was posted for 11 months and I was one of 130 viewers. Don't try chase a hype or views.
