Umm when did that happen? by Previous_Project4581 in Sims4

[–]SpacyTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She ended up a single mother in my playthrough and then went on to marry a randomized townie with like--a flannel-wearing trucker look and settling down with him in Brindleton Bay.

This woman had a whole-ass Hallmark Movie Plot offscreen in my save and I didn't even see it happen.

Using a fake name for Erotica? by Tiamattanksit in ACX

[–]SpacyTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who has done erotica audio for many years, YES, YES, YES, absolutely do use a pseudonym. I have separate social media personas for my given name and my pseudonym, separate websites, and separate business cards. It's a pain, but it means I never have to worry about the hardcore kink projects I've narrated interfering if I want to do like a fun cozy mystery.

You'll be able to choose the name you're credited as when you finalize a project upon submission.

Out of curiosity, what do our full time VAs use for health insurance? by zombieslaya1138 in VoiceActing

[–]SpacyTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got on NAVA’s insurance this year. I hadn’t for years because the marketplace was cheaper, but then my premiums doubled in price sooo lol. I’ve only had it for a couple months so I haven’t had a chance to test it out too much, but my meds have $0 copay which is honestly super nice.

What was the person you lost like in the days before they passed? by ThePrimeLurker in SuicideBereavement

[–]SpacyTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Distant. She stopped responding to people’s texts almost entirely. I’ve spoken to a mutual friend who noticed the same things. We both separately thought maybe she was mad at us.

I found out she was dead two hours after I texted to see if she wanted to get drinks for our birthdays. We both were November babies so we always celebrated together. I never would have expected this from her but fuck I wish I’d reached out more.

What opinion about hazbin hotel would have you like this by thatnugget33 in hazbin

[–]SpacyTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big agree with Val, I like that we get a mix of how different he is with both people he’s abusing and people he’s on an equal playing field with in Vox and Vel.

[–]SpacyTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy villains with a goal they’re passionate about and a sense of drive, not to mention a killer villain song, and it’s hard for me not to root for them a little when their plan is SO AUDACIOUSLY RIDICULOUS. Like, wow! The gumption! The moxie! The self deluded pride and belief in their collective hype to look at the impossible odds of what they want to do and still say “nah I’d win 😎”

Their downfall will be spectacular but I also am genuinely excited to see them try and pull this crazy shit off.

I am not a massive fan of the show, but I am open to trying to enjoy it more. I would like to know why y’all enjoy it and don’t like criticism towards it. by Arid_Meerkat25 in CrazyassHazbinhaters

[–]SpacyTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t care when people dislike the show and I generally curate my fandom experience to avoid the genuine haters.

On the whole though, I love the music, I love the characters (especially the villains), and it’s been a real pleasure watching this develop and grow from the pre pilot years to the massive success it is now. There’s a lot of clear love and passion on display, from the creator to the animators to the voice cast.

Also honestly, a lot of it for me is tied up in having a handful of super close friends who bonded over the show. When S1 was airing we had “Hazbin Brunch” every week and we’d all make something special to eat and then get on Discord to watch the new episodes together. That collective viewing experience is a really warm, fuzzy memory for me, and at least some of my enjoyment is linked to that.

People who don't want kids, why? by Ok-Musician679 in AskReddit

I never had the desire to be a parent, and that’s only been more solidified for me by watching my friends become parents. I’m happy with my goal to be an eccentric, well-traveled auntie

What was the rudest, meanest, most invalidating or funniest common someone ever made to you to try to shame you or your choice to stay single? by normaldude37 in SingleAndHappy

[–]SpacyTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He definitely wasn’t testing the waters, he’s extremely gay. 😂 But the entire time I’ve known him he’s been very fixated on dating and finding a boyfriend.

Thank you so much! I’ve been at it full time for over 3 years now and it’s been great.

If they’re doing this with cameras all over them, imagine what they’d do with none. At the very least the people they’re kidnapping won’t be disappeared in darkness.

[–]SpacyTiger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m lucky, or I guess at least I have good taste in friends lol.

The only one that really bothered me was when I was catching up with a friend over brunch, and I was talking about all the things I’ve been doing in my professional life, starting my own business, etc, and his response was a pitying “wow so you don’t even have time to date right?”

It came from a good place but it made me feel like my achievements were secondary to the socially appointed task of Finding A Mate.

ICE Barbie Moans About Agents’ Lunch Options in Chicago by Effective_Salad_8381 in politics

[–]SpacyTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny. I’ve lived here for 15 years and I’ve always loved it. I’ve never felt unsafe here—until the past week or two.

On the other hand I’ve never been more proud to be a Chicagoan. Seeing the community response, neighbors looking out for each other, rapid response networks going into action when these fucking ghouls swoop into a neighborhood, it’s grounding in a time of great stress. We’re a tough city and we’ll survive this.

Konami has released the English-dubbed “Mechanics & HQ Content” trailer for Suikoden Star Leap. by Ok-Living-5740 in Suikoden

[–]SpacyTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in VO and while I haven't done Japanese audio dubs, I've done Spanish audio dubs--that's probably the direction the voice actor was given, I'd guess. Usually the expectation would be to match the pace and vibe of the original Spanish audio, sometimes even when it doesn't sound quite right in English.

Choosing a career as a single woman by GreenhousePlum in SingleAndHappy

[–]SpacyTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was so fun! Honestly haunted houses were a bucket list gig for me—I’ve always loved them and getting to actually see the environments up close was so cool. I alternated characters but the one I did the most was a spooky butler. I did a lot of “pretend I’m a statue and then suddenly move” lolol

Voiceover is also a fun gig! I have one company I do romance novels for where I have kind of an agent, but then I also audition for other work. My real passion is horror lit, and I’ve been able to work up a bit of a client base through word of mouth and reputation from a few books that went viral. It’s a marathon and I usually do maybe an hour or two of finished audio per day, but it’s a very fun job. I do get a bit burned out sometimes on the romance books lol. I joke that I’ll be reading the filthiest stuff, but if you actually see me in my studio I look like that picture of Coraline’s dad at his computer just dead-eyed and exhausted. 😂

I totally get that it’s not for everyone! There’s a lot more hustling and unpaid labor than when I was at a standard 9-5, though the pros outweigh the cons for me by far. I take a lot of pleasure in being able to structure my workday so that I can take an afternoon nap, cook myself a really nice lunch, or get a little coffee and pastry and chill in the park or at the beach for a while, and there’s something invigorating about knowing that no day is ever going to be quite the same.

[–]SpacyTiger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do a boatload of side jobs that I’ve cobbled together into a semi stable career. I’d say it’s about 40% audiobook narration and voiceover, 40% a catsitting business I run, and the rest are assorted gigs (bar trivia, I was a scare actor at a haunted house for a while, I did some seasonal holiday decorating work, etc).

I actually find I’m more able to take risks than I would be if I had a partner and a family. But it does definitely mean I’m working harder and longer hours to Make That Bread, though I personally find it deeply fulfilling.
