My name is Troy Swinar.
I'm currently living in Glendale, California for about two years now, and I am a freelance production, art assistant, and voice actor.
Last summer, I was working at the Lego store, and I quit to pursue freelance full-time to be able to open myself up and say yes because a day on set was worth more than a week at the Lego store.
And a year later, I can say that that's paid off.
at least that I've been able to do a lot of cool stuff that I would not have been able to do otherwise.
An average good week in the life of a freelancer, if I'm lucky, is I will get a call or even just a text maybe like a day before from a producer that I've worked with before just asking, you know, hey, we need some PAs tomorrow.
Are you available?
I'll say yes.
And that's, you know, signing on for a 12-hour day.
to, you know, basically be the extra pair of hands where nobody else has the bandwidth to do it.
I've had stuff before where, like, I will walk onto set and I've been handed a Geiger counter and been told, you know, hey, look up a YouTube video, make sure this works.
And then just left with that.
I'm like, all right.
You know, find a corner for myself that I'm, you know, teaching myself these absolutely random skills.
But it's part of the fun.
As chaotic as it is, I love it more than any office job.
It keeps it interesting and it's never boring.
Budget-wise, I do kind of go just month by month because if I went week by week, it would be so inconsistent.
There are weeks where I make zero dollars, and then there are weeks where I make more money than I have in the past five months.
That's just how it goes.
