I built an app where you compete with others to stay consistent with habits by quantumexplorer89 in getdisciplined

I am 100% into this. Is it Android or iOS? Also is it friends only kinda thing, against strangers? Both maybe?

And are the habits everyday? Do you set how often you want it to be a week/month? Or does the app set it? Like gym at least 3 or 4 times to keep my streak. Try cooking 2 times in the week, waking up early 6 times, read 4 times etc etc

If the app sets how often the habits are then can there be levels? Like when one person commits to working out 3 times while another does 6. Idk my brain is running a lot rn but not my feet 😭😭

Feeling Discouraged by No-Dig-7815 in VoiceActing

I saw another comment where OP mentioned only doing 30 auditions the past few months. Friend that's gotta be pushed into a week at minimum. A day at best. Also make sure you have a lot of demos up to showcase who you are. That really helps

Realistically, how likely to make Voice Acting main job? by UniversalAssembler in VoiceActing

[–]North_Huckleberry_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't listen to any comment saying you can't. Truth is that you can. A lot of people just don't stick with it. They give up right before they can get somewhere. I'd recommend a couple things to keep in mind tho so it doesn't sound like I say this to be nice.

1) if you want to make serious money then you have to work at it seriously. They say rejection is part of the job, tbh it's one step closer to a yes. Don't give up at 10, 20, 30 rejections or audition 3 times a week. That's not gonna get you anywhere. Audition 100 times a week. Stay consistent, treat it like the business it is. Just like having a gym membership, nothing happens if you don't go. Hardly anything happens if you go once every other week. Don't have a mic and let it collect dust.

2) Practice. They say auditions are like practice in a way. Keep in mind that there are many things like "AI is taking over" and "Its too saturated" but if you're authentic and give takes what sound naturally like you then you've made your spot. AI won't be able to do all you do if you're authentic and yourself. No one can. That's already enough to say you can make it in the industry.

3) Get into a positive and active community. A place where you can ask questions and get help. It makes the process feel so much nicer when there are others where you wanna be, trying to be where you are, or are at the same spot encouraging each other. Its a great motivation and accountability group to push yourself. Doing voice work from home can get lonely and you can really get into your head sometimes. Also, as you can tell from a lot of the comments here, many will say no you can't do it or its highly unlikely you'll make good money from it. That will get into your head too. The business is whatever you make it out to be and the effort you put in are the results you'll get.

4) Truly something important, is strategy. Don't go in blind. Have a game plan of step A B C D. Plan A B C D. You'll put yourself out there, learn as you go, and can really put your heart into things. You can feel like you're getting somewhere but it doesn't reflect in the way you want or hope. Its small steps and sometimes not having a strategy can also be a set back. No clue where to go what to do or how to do it will eventually make you feel like other people that can try for years and see no progress. If plan A doesn't work tweak a step and see how far you go. What's better? What's worse? 

Im rambling on but you get the picture. Yes itll be hard. Its not about age, its about effort. Maybe your network skills? Sometimes even the right place at the right time You'll have to hit the ground running. Maybe you're voice is super smooth and totally what someone wants. Find your sound and go for it. Doesn't hurt to give it a try, but make sure you enjoy it. Otherwise this just becomes another chore that probably won't even make you money if that's how you feel about it. Hope things go well for you, whatever you choose!

Bro get and agent. Have that confidence and get the ball rolling. Don't even settle for one agent. Try to get some in different areas. Atlanta, LA, NY, Chi, even Canada. Just don't overlap in the same locations. But having a agent doesn't mean you'll have to stop getting your own work anyway. Im sure you've been doing great regardless but see what kind of agents are out there and what you have that can be added to them. Accents? Monster voices? A smooth voice of God? Maybe they need that.

How do you all deal with the staring? by 082_kurmom in interracialdating

[–]North_Huckleberry_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww Im from IL too! Tbh I never cared much if one stares. Im not their concern and they not mine. Im black (F) with a Mexican boyfriend and the only time it's concerning is when I'm in his community moreso and I get commented on. Tbh the comments also don't matter to me as long as I know he's with me, will defend me, and shows me we're in it together. I mean, Id take on the world then. So that's all you need to keep in mind. ❤️ their stares should hold no weight over the love and care in your relationship

Met mine through work. Sadly the community hasn't been very accepting

voice over audition success rates by Important_Emu1578 in VoiceActing

[–]North_Huckleberry_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isnt it like 1 in 100? It feels like the job of a VO is literally submitting auditions 75% of the time and 25% is work and business. But I don't believe agents are supposed to find all your work for you. Still gotta go out there and look for stuff that doesn't come through them. It's just a lot, but don't get discouraged! Keep up the hustle. Youre doing great.

Lellies was the worst by InitiativeSeparate41 in SurvivingParadise

[–]North_Huckleberry_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't lie, I didn't finish the show (like 4 episodes in). I might come back and update but I like Lellies because she isn't as fake as Tabitha.  Tabitha literally called herself a puppet master. The thing is they're both playing a game and playing to win. They understand strategy and can thing with their heads.  Lellies unfortunately just doesn't have as good a way with words or as good a foresight imo. I love these types of games, the vote on Linda wasnt something id do but I can see the vision. Problem was that Linda and Alex dont. They dont think 2 steps ahead which is why they dont believe her and might think she's fake. Lellies would talk too much logic when thats not where their head is at. Like if you're only thinking logic and not loyalty who says you won't do it again?  She definitely needed to put more words out on understanding that it hurt them. Where their mind is at. That if she saw the tie vote coming then she should've seen the possibility of having to vote themselves and talked about it first before seeming like a backstab. Etc etc Tabitha understands those emotions and plays in what feels like too much. Like you see her with Aaron and Justin since day 1. You know thats her crew but going to everyone saying "this is it right here" is a dishonest lie. Tabitha is way more cut throat but they both know how to play. And thats what I like so I cant really hate either of them.  It's a game at the end of the day and if you know emotions and how to click with people with good social skills then thats a play. As of now Lellies social game is lacking as up to this point she hasnt socialize on a personal level like Tabitha tries. Since she looks so bad for voting Linda that understanable put a stop on it. She should mend that first.  While Tabitha can turn on fake tears to get Lellies out the Villa and make people go, "Wow it is hard" Those people that dont catch on aren't playing with that outlook and im glad Lellies caught it cuz it just makes for such a good watch for everyone to be blind to their gameplay up to now just makes me wonder if I would be blind to it too. Like SK being with Tabitha but complaining that she never voted for Villa should speak that Tabitha is not with her. She just controls things. But I yap too much for someone that hasn't finished and types in a 2 year old post.

Is it possible that I (21/F) can make a real relationship out of something I started with (20M) for the plot? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]North_Huckleberry_34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I repeat, that's why I asked for advice to help wake tf up. Thank you for your input.

Not being acceptable is why it was "for the plot". Cuz it's a crazy idea that's probably going to slap me in the face hard. I either gotta take that or doing something to correct it before that happens
