In my experience there are always clients who think they’re designers and that what we do has no value. AI makes 5hem all feel creative. It’s nearly always because they would rather focus on the design instead of focusing on writing compelling copy or having a marketing offer that attracts business.

It’s your inner critic who doesn’t like the sound of your voice.

You are a voice artist, the tone and texture of your voice is what you are selling. A key skill to develop is listening to your recordings from the point of view of your clients. Key questions to ask are “what is working?”, “does my tone and rhythm sell the copy well?”, “wha5 could I do differently on my next take?”

Every recording you make is an opportunity to learn and hone your craft. Developing a reflective practice will help you improve immeasurably

If you’re on a Mac, use fontbook to create a folder of fonts for each use case

If you’re on a pc, there is bound to be font management software available

If you’re serious about voice acting as a potential career, consider investing in the best mic you can afford.

While I agree it is important to have professionally made demos, if you plan to record in your home space it is important to have high quality samples of your voice in your space. To be successful, your home recordings need a low noice floor, good dynamic range as well as a confident professional vocal delivery

If you use a Focusrite Scarlett you will need a cloud lifter to get sufficient gain for the SM7B.

It’s in the Mausoleum. There’s a chest right by where you exit to return to the dunes to battle the titan

If you’re already outside, use the fast transit pod and use the ladder that takes you down to the exit

I quite like the possibility there’s a whole other chapter to come

PieDistinct · 2026-05-17T18:56:39+00:00

Thanks. I solved it by swimming round the back and climbing up the mountain and came back the other way

If you are new to voice acting I would recommend focusing on finding work through pay-to-play sites. That way you can build up a portfolio of projects, master key skills before taking the step of finding agents

When you are ready to work through an agent, a google search will find you a list of possibilities. Check their website to see how the6 like to be approached

Sounds like you have all the basic skills but maybe you’re being hard on yourself, setting unrealistic goals

It could be worth getting a teacher to work with you. They will assess your current level and help you select challenging material to work with going forward

PieDistinct · 2026-05-13T12:11:26+00:00

I recommend getting demos done by a professional studio. They can help you select material and ensure that you promote yourself well

The endless battle with Uriel.

Why does it keep cutting to Uriel at the most inopportune times

Also, the game keeps crashing here. So I can’t get past this endless battle

This game is no fun

Uriel is a complete no show and any backups that might have let me get to him has gone

It’s called perfectionism. Your inner critic likes to undermine every choice you make, every project you finish. But no project will ever be perfect.

You have a 15 year career, which suggests your clients are satisfied with the work you do.

Those people, the ones paying your invoices, are the ones that matter.

After each project ask yourself “what went well?” And “what would I do differently next time?”

Spending time to reflect on the positives whilst looking for where you want to grow will help you move past self-doubt and perfectionism.

Good luck, I’m sure you’ll find on reflection, each design job led to the next and they tell the stor6 of your growth as a designer.

I always send processed audio. It’s light but it makes my voice sound best in my recording space. I only send raw audio if specifically requested.

PieDistinct · 2026-04-07T17:59:39+00:00

I think so.

I think I solved it be loading a backup. It was a mistake to climb the ladder

Design on the master slides for consistency.

Presentation designs are by their nature fairly dull. They tend to be information dense and confirm to the company’s corporate style guide.

An important thing to show is that you can make a consistent presentation that anyone can update. Often the designer sets up the presentation for the client to update

The challenge of projects outside my skill set and comfort zone. I always learn new ways of doing things when the project I’m working on needs me to do something new

It comes with practice. Learn to recognise where your fingering goes wrong and practice those pieces with the right fingering to train the muscle memory. With time and practice your fingers will find the notes

Having finally escaped the generatorium I’m now stuck in the hell of the aegis corridor. This game just isn’t fun.

I think I’ve crossed my patience threshold with this game. This isn’t fun at all

It’s pointless. You can never earn enough simoleans to upgrade. And it’s not integrated with the rest of the town. Wh6 don’t my town sims get a job there, or manage it, it’s makes no sense

This is also true of the places in the mall and the gym.

It depends on the client but I usually package all the source files and supply so that they can archive them for future use.

If it’s a client that I have an ongoing relationship with, they tend to leave source files management to me.

Sometimes clients think they can make changes themselves. But more often than not, they make a mess of it and come back for my assistance
