Craziness
so i went with one of my fellow stoners to a recording studio to watch him do some voice work. he works for a company that dubs english over japanese cartoon shows, you may know a couple... dragon ball z, full metal alchemist, shin chan, gun slinger girls... and so on. well i get there and the director lady is all like, "ok well this is a group recording for some back ground noise and a few action sounds" and then she asked is i would like to jump in the sound booth and help out. now keep in mind that i had gone with my buddy, who we'll name... Charles Ronald Nicholas, and call Ch.ro.nic for short, to just watch the recording process and take in the whole experience as a whole (REDUNDANT). So when she asked if i wanted to record some stuff i was like awesome, i'd love to help out, and she says "well the budget has already been set, so we can't pay you" and i said i didn't care, being able to voice some stuff is just too cool to me. anyway, 4 of us recorded some stuff and then the DL (director lady) asked Ch.ron.nic and the other guy to go wait outside because she wanted me to read a line for them. i got back in the booth and recorded the same line about 20 time and she was like "ok you can hop out now" and they pitched my voice down some and stretched it out a bit, and she was like, "thats great, we're going to keep this" and then when we were leaving for the night she had me fill out a contract and hours log. so now, i'm a freelance voice talent for cartoon network and i AM going to get paid for my work, $36 an hour... not bad.
i feel kinda bad though, because i just wanted to see how everything worked ( i actually do dream of becoming a professional voice actor, but thats beside the point ) and had no intentions of voicing ANYTHING, let alone an actual character line. but i did and i got a contract, while a friend of mine who has gone numerous times and made voice demo tapes and met with the big whigs at this place has been turned down every time. i think he's kinda pissed at me that i went in and made something out of dumb luck and his hard work has been for naught. it's not my fault though, i was in the right place at the right time and something fell in my lap. the talk of the group is that "how can that feeb (he's refering to me) just go in the and sign a fucking contract, and i get sent home empty handed every time" well, i'm not sorry that i answered the door when opportunity knocked, we all get our chances and i grabbed mine before is ran away.
alright, enough of that. so i'm totally pumped about going skiing with the P-Rents in Salt Lake. i love utah snow so much, but i'm not a very big fan of the SLC. it's not even the mormons, it's just not a very beautiful place. HOWEVER, if you ever go there, go to South 2nd St. & University Dr. underneath the University Pharmacy, theres this little hole in the wall pizza joint called "the PI pizzeria". they serve pizzas as big and think as manhole covers, and they are fucking delicious. i'm excited.
for those in the know, i'll be in Galvetraz the 23rd - 26th of march. be there or i'll set you on fire with my pyrokinetic powers.
ok, leave a comment or don't, i really don't care. i'm blind so i can't read them anyway.
bye bye
