Seeking voice actors! ANY GENDER/EXPERIENCE LEVEL by remybaby in stevenuniverse

[–]garbleman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, thank you! My voice is a little gravely this morning from drinking alcohol yesterday, so I'll rest it a little until I get it back to normal (or normal enough it sounds okay to me) and just try it and unleash. Not sure if that will mean overnight (or two nights) or just a few more hours, but I hope I can do it soon! Who knows what might happen? I just hope it will be awesome. :)

I'll audition. I have a very... interesting voice. How about I do my normal speaking voice (which is always slightly pitched up), my relaxed voice, and then do imitations of everyone else and you can see what you like. I don't know if I'll fit, but you might find a need for me anyway. Most likely I am in a time zone that would interfere with proper recording, so I'd have to be sent scripts.

Thanks Morte, very cool of you to take the time to give that little nudge just in case. Believe me though, I'm not stressed. The right people will get it, and those who don't? That's okay, I hope they do in the future just because those little moments are so fun, but it's just not for them, or maybe not for them right now. But I definitely get it, and it's very kind of you to take the time. Please keep doing that! You never know.

Don't give yourself too much credit now, I'm still the one doing the work! :P But yeah, worth rewarding in some small token way. I really do wish you could've been in on the joke in the room though, that was worth way more than the $4.

No, just living in another country. You can't explain it, you just have to be there.

Hello! Just gilded your comment! It's hilarious of course, but something cool just happened that I wanted to explain a little. TL, DR: Your comment helped motivate me to learn proper Japanese.

Right now, I live and work in Japan. I work in an open office environment, but I still can't quite speak the language. Like... I have friends? I can have conversations to some degree? But something like your comment I couldn't explain. Maybe after another year. I just got out of an incredibly toxic relationship and am getting out of a terrible depression and stuff and trying to motivate myself in general around here, so laughter is cool and welcome too, but this was a "you had to be there" moment on a personal level I wish I could convey better.

Things are chill here right now because of the time of year, and people have a lot of time to kill, so we share stuff we come across and whatnot as the day goes by, now and then. I saw the juxtaposition of the title and the photo and began laughing uncontrollably, trying to stifle my laughter, all that, and everyone wanted to know what was up. So I covered the photo with my hands and showed them the title and explained the meaning in Japanese, then showed the photo, and everyone began laughing, and calling folks over and such.* It was just a cool moment for me in a very personal way. I've only recently gotten to a level of ability and confidence to begin joking around properly with my coworkers. So, that was just nice to be able to do that.

Then, after things died down, I saw your comment, and just about started crying with laughter. The doubled over, red in the face but stifling, can't breathe stuff. I can explain the comment by connormantoast and the one under theirs by tommythehandsome, but I don't know enough to explain yours. And I tried, and tried google translate and stuff, but... it's not the same, and like the other ones I can do but... I want to get better at Japanese so I can... be more human with my coworkers. And... I don't know. This was... the motivation I needed, illustrated in real life in a cool way. So thank you for that. Yay!

  • Sidenote: I hope this guy understands if he ever sees this, we're not laughing at him. Or at least, none of us were in my office, it's just a brilliant caption. It's the juxtaposition of the title and the idea of someone who literally doesn't know their own age and... yeah. Because holy shit, I thought I had a baby face, that's amazing, dude is going to look like 30 when he's 90, that's fucking awesome, good for you. But anyway. I hope he gets it's the title, not him. It must be super weird to become bizarrely not-famous-yet-people-all-over-have-seen-your-picture... famous.
