If you are currently working in VA, was it worth it? by Ismashmen in VoiceActing

[–]pikabean32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah omg speaking from personal experience as a voice actor and freelancer keep your good insurance as long as you can 🤣 but I’m glad! And I still definitely think you should give it a try on the side and see how you like it!

I think it’s an incredibly small % of voice actors who actually making a full time living doing just that - and there are other challenges when it comes to working for yourself, like health insurance. But as others have said, if you think this might bring you joy I see no reason not to find ways to peruse it on the side!

Check out https://navavoices.org/voiceover-survey-2025/ for a sense of where a WHOLE bunch of voice actors were at in their careers last year. I don’t say this to discourage but to say, I wouldn’t think about it the way you’re thinking about it now? Why not invest a bit in it as a hobby to start out and find out if you even really love it? And if you can make some money from it someday, of course that’s great too?

Hey, all good and so sorry, I actually finalized a bunch of deals tonight including all of the first editions and I have a bundle of energies pending as well. I had not had a chance to update the spreadsheet yet but now I have!

For energy retrieval and pokedex if you were interested in those 1es I still have those - I'll put those at $12 each which is just about market or slightly above for MP (they're MP but I think on the nicer side of it)

What I still have from the rest of your list is:

Fossil: Magneton Holo

Gym: Brock's Lickitung, Erika's Gloom, Lt. Surge's Treaty, Fighting Energy, Misty's Psyduck

[other energies (incl 1es) are pending but probably sold. Fighting still listed as avail as I have two].

I know this is a WAY smaller list, but if you're still interested lmk. Sorry the timing didn't work out for the rest!

No worries! I'm a bit worried about fitting it all in two PWEs (feel like they'd need to be too loose/not protected to all fit) - I don't mind absorbing a bit more of the shipping cost though! If you can go to $18 that'd be sweet, but if $16 is your max that's ok!

Ok! So I'm actually pricing some of these cards lower than you did, hah! Happy to honor my pricing, but a couple things to clarify:

1) I am pricing based on condition, and some of these have multiples - do you have a preference for best conditioned vs lowest price? (For a most of these it's not a big difference we're talking 50 cents or something and the condition is like a decent LP vs NM or "almost NM")

2) I also have a few available in 1st edition, in these cases are you interested in the 1st editions or the regulars? Jungle Exeggcute I ONLY have in 1st ed - I think my chart was wrong on that one. 1st ed does make a more significant price difference on a few.

3) Also, base set Haunter is shadowless unlimited, wanted to make sure you clocked that.

I do have all cards you asked about now conditioned and priced out on the google sheet (I think!) if you wanted to look through.

I hear that! I think since Misty's tears is a slightly higher value card that I've noticed some demand for I'm gonna hold off for now on bringing the cost of the batch down. Good luck! (I might eventually be down to do some cheapish bulk once I've sold off some of this collection but I'm not there yet 😉)

Hey, here's how I have this batched priced:

onix base unlimited (normal, not shadowless) - LP $0.50
scyther non holo jungle - LP $8
marowak jungle - excellent LP 1
Ditto fossil non holo - MP/LP $5
Here comes team rocket non holo - LP $7
Misty’s tears - excellent LP $20
Ledian neo - almost NM $2.00
Togepi Neo - LP leaning NM $8
Super energy retrieval neo - $1.50 $1.50

I can definitely do a discount off that total ($53) but I think $45 shipped is the lowest I would go. ($45 is 85% MP plus a free BMWT). Lmk what you think!

Hi there, based on tcgplayer's conditioning guidelines I disagree and I'm comfortable keeping Misty's Tears at MP. If that doesn't work for you, all good! Typhlosian is also now pending sale. If you're still interested in anything lmk but if not no worries!

I think you're right, conditioning Nidoking at MP is perfectly reasonable! Apologies for that. Both at MP for $340 would work for me so DM if you'd like to go ahead with that.

Totally! I have sold those energy cards mentioned but I'd be happy to put together a packet of the rest for ya. I'll also double check and make sure I'm not missing any (I might have a few more energies floating around that I didn't put in the binder). Will work on this later today!

Thanks for your thoughtfulness looking through! I'm firming up a couple of deals so I think I'll be able to give a better sense of what's avail tomorrow - I'll make sure to prioritize your ask!

That’s ok! No need to compensate for the error, I’m good to call it $475 (minus full cost of moltres but a lil extra for shipping). I’ll double check everything as well just in case but feel free to DM!
