Yeah, of course. I mean, in any job, right? But I will say one of the trends I've noticed is the projects that pay less than they should, usually those clients are more difficult. And it's like, go figure, right? Yeah. Because they... they're not seeing your worth as an actor. And so they're like, Oh, well we, we can get perfection for $50. It was like ridiculous.
But, and then like on the flip side, I'm sure you've heard, there's plenty of divas in the creative industry. Like actors can have big egos. And so I've even had clients tell me, thank you for being so easy to work with. I was just working with this guy. I'll never work with them again, but he was just so just amazing. difficult in every way.
Just like everything has to be so-so and you have to pay me extra for X, Y, Z. And I'm like... Why?
Yeah, and then get kicked out because he was like, I'm taking him off my roster. And I was like, I don't blame you. If people are not easy to work with, that's why I always tell people, I don't care how talented you are. If you're easy to work with, that's going to take you way further than any level of talent where you're like a jerk.
They're very different because they're all different styles. So a lot of video games, the trend nowadays for the most part is they want very grounded, real performances. So just real human beings in a game. Whereas anime is way up here and we're being really like crazy and not only that, you're matching mouth flaps because you're dubbing.
Um, so it's, it's more like of a specialized skill in that sense. Whereas corporate, it's like, we just want to try not to put these people to sleep, but we still have to be like educational.
Yes. They're like be enthusiastic. And I'm like, nobody's enthusiastic about this, but I'll do my best. Um, So yeah, they're all very different. I would say they're all specialized skill sets. There's a lot of like, in video games, you have to protect your voice more because there's a lot of like guttural screaming and stuff like that. But you're not doing that in the commercials.
If you are, they're probably not going to air because nobody wants to hear that on TV. Right.
Right, exactly. And then I will say too, audiobooks are crazy. I just want to put some respect on audiobook narrators. If any audiobook narrators are listening to this right now, first of all, I love y'all. And second of all, These people are voicing every character most of the time. Every single character in a novel, they're voicing them.
And they have to distinguish them and make them their own unique character with just their voice. And so I just want to say, I just don't see a lot of respect for audiobook narrators. And I'm a little biased because I've voiced some audiobooks, but they're so hard. And I see all the, oh yeah, voice actors only do anime and video games. And I'm like, please put some respect on audiobooks because...
Yeah. Yeah. I just I wish people would be fans of audiobooks. You know what I mean? I'm like, come on, like, get get their autographs. They're so cool. Like voicing these whole books and being all these characters. I just I find I mean, I'm an I'm an amateur when it comes to them. But I just know so many people just pop them out like they're nothing. And I'm like, I don't know how you do that.
Yeah. That's awesome. That was my little tangent.
Nice. I'm glad you respect them.
I do now. Listen.
Yeah, absolutely. So they do many things, but the main thing that they're doing right now is they are on the ground in L.A. helping people who have been affected by the wildfires that just happened recently and are still very much happening. Yeah. So they're providing supplies. They're providing mental health care. They're just...
Being there for people who have been displaced, the many, many people who have lost their homes and really everything that they have. So they're a great organization. They're definitely helping so much for these people who are just, I couldn't imagine losing my home, you know, or my animals or anything, you know. So, yeah, they're great.
Oh, wow. Thank you so much. I didn't know you guys had it like that.
Donate what we don't have. No, but seriously, thank you for doing that. That's incredible. Thank you for caring and for being kind.
So it's funny because my dream job when I was like six years old, first dream job, veterinarian. Then I realized I would have to operate on them and I was like, no, I can't do it. So I've always loved animals and I ended up going vegetarian at 11 and I was that annoying kid who was like giving speeches about why you shouldn't eat meat and all this stuff.
And I continued that way until I got even more annoying and I became vegan and I've been vegan for 10 years now. And so, yeah, so it's, it's been almost, I don't, I don't want to, I don't want people doing the math on my age, but it's been a long time. So yeah, I, I, you know, I, before I got into voice acting, I worked for an animal rights organization and I did, um,
