Joined October 2021
Everyone… Meet Cyrene 💞. I was not expecting this to be announced so soon. 🥹. That’s my name. In the game I love, and play every single day. That’s my name in a game I’ve wanted to be part of since it released. Cue Hillary Duff because 🎤 this is what dreaaaams are made of🎤.

New voice actors:. Demos are NOT the first step. Agencies are NOT the be all end all. They’re not even the 3rd, 4th, 5th step. Steps to consider first:. - Ask folks in the industry.- Take workshops.- Listen to podcasts.- Private coach.- Make mistakes.- Did I mention TRAINING?.

I met so many incredible cosplayers at the con! . Marcus from Reverse1999. Sunday from HSR. Lumine and Alhaitham from Genshin Impact. Forget Me Not from Reverse1999. (Oh AND Kafka and another Sunday both pulled on my HSR account for Fugue - she still hasn’t come home though 😮💨)

FYI from a Casting Director: . This past round of demo pulling has been simultaneously impressive, and disappointing. I know much of this has been said before, but it never hurts to give a reminder. If your BUSINESS is VO, please take the following into consideration. (1/9).

A few months ago before I knew I booked Cyrene I did an AMA for Reverse1999 and this question was asked - crazy that it’s already come true. 😭👏

Voice Actors:. Do NOT let auditioning be the ONLY thing you do. There is such a wide scope to this work. Opportunity will NOT just find YOU. You have to go out there with curiosity, and an open mind, and SEEK IT OUT. (1/15).

Voice Actors:. ESPECIALLY new talent - . Don’t rush. Do not rush this wonderful learning process. It's a journey that takes TIME. There is much to be excited about as a new VA entering this biz, and there are so many things we may want to accomplish as soon as possible. (1/17).

Okay so here’s the thing. I got a couple extra items… 👀 would any Reverse1999 fans be interested in a giveaway of signed Kakania items? 👵💚. I’d love to do an unboxing of these items too if anyone’s curious what’s inside! Are we interested in opening some goodies together?.

To the younger voice talent out there: . PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR AGE/AGE IDENTIFIERS ON YOUR WEBSITE/ONLINE. I hate that I have to say this, but it’s not safe. Branding yourself as a “high school girl”, and posting your age directly to your website is unsafe. (1/2).

What was my favourite Kakania scene to record in this chapter you ask?. 100% the duel with Mr. Schwartz. 🤣. “I must make it clear that your wife’s appointment with me has nothing to do with your… lacklustre performance in the bedroom.” . She said what she said. 🤷♀️

VOICE ACTORS: (new + experienced). Are you curious if your raw studio sample is in the right format, or if you've covered all the bases?. Are you scratching your head and thinking "what's a raw studio sample?". If you're AT ALL unsure, I've created a resource for you. ❤️ (1/4).

Every time you:. - Audition.- Update your resume.- Update your website.- Make a new demo.- Meet someone new at a workshop (CD, Director, or a fellow actor) .- Interact w/ humans you vibe w/ on the internet. You are planting seeds, and they are slowly growing. Give it time. ❤️.

For voice talent without rep:. If casting asks for file labelling such as: Name_Role_Agency . So long as no other specifics are provided, try “Independent” instead of “No Agency” or “Unrepresented”. Some talent we see on Actors Access apply without their agency on purpose. (1/3).

Hi VO folks! . My roster is OPEN. If you receive emails from me, please only apply again if you've got updated materials. This roster is open to remote talent everywhere. 🫶. If you *don't* have a home studio/work remote, check the form for hubs I am currently looking at. (1/2).

Voice Actors:. MISTAKES are NORMAL. Learn to let them role off your back. I know I needed to hear this - repeatedly - when I started, and I can imagine many folks out there could use the reminder too. So in case you’re in need of a pep talk this week… (1/9).

Role Announcement!. You can now hear me as #Kakania in version 1.7 of @Reverse1999_GL 💚. It was such a beautiful experience getting to tackle all that she is and I am so thankful for the opportunity to bring this sassy, compassionate arcanist to life. (1/3).

349
Voice Actors: . Let’s talk ENVIRONMENT. As talent, we stand in little booths/rooms ALONE. We (most often) don’t get the luxury of having another actor to work off of, or a set to act within. Therefore, we must have WILD imaginations, and practice visualization often. (1/6).

If you told me a week ago I’d start off a niche meme with 5 different variations… 🤣 these are hilarious and I love them so much. 👵💚.

Voice Actors:. Don’t forget to breathe. Getting an audition you’ve dreamt of or having a callback with industry professionals you look up to is such a joy. Couple this joy with the fear of not doing the work justice and it can OF COURSE be nerve wracking. (1/10).

Friendly reminder that this strike is SUPPOSED to be disruptive and uncomfy. We’re all feeling it, and we’re all going to miss out on things. The point is to stay strong so we don’t have to go through this any longer than absolutely necessary. ❤️👏.

Just an FYI - casting does not owe you a thing. Of COURSE it sucks to audition into the void. That’s the JOB. Mine is to hear your audition. Emailing and demanding to engage with casting as a prerequisite to “bothering” to audition is incredibly ignorant. Don’t be that person.

Voice Actors:. Do you know what an NRC rating is?. No? Let's dive in!. NRC stands for Noise Reduction Coefficient. It's a number rating representing the average of sound Absorption Coefficients of a material at specific mid-range frequencies. "Why is this relevant, Aiden?" (1/9).

As talent with home studios, WE are in control of our audio. It really helps the whole team when we UNDERSTAND how to do that. Huge thank you to @JustRandyGreer for taking the time to verify and add to this document to make it better. Here's the link:

One of the easiest jobs to perform from home as a *trained professional*?. Voice Over. In studio sessions are great, but pretending like we didn’t all do incredible and seamless work from home during the height of the pandemic is ridiculous. Just saying.

Say it with me:. We are not voicing commercials…. For use in paid online advertisements…. With MAJOR brands,. For $250,. 🚩 In PERPETUITY. 🚩. WE 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 DOING 👏 THAT. 👏 . (Do better big brands, do better.)

If you’re wondering if casting is listening, they are. If you weren’t cast for something you thought was perfect, it may be because the team has you in mind for something else. Not now isn’t always a bad thing. It means later is still a possibility. Keep on keepin’ on! 😤👏.

Voice Actors:. I want to share a really important lesson I observed from a casting director/talent interaction recently. The lesson? 📝. Change can only happen if we are OPEN to it. We cannot and will not grow unless we give ourselves permission. (1/10).
2
41
225
Voice Actors: . Remember that if and when it's not you, the "problem" is not you. There are sooooo many of us out there. SO many talented, hard working people with exceptional skillsets. This is why growth doesn't just happen over night. It can't. We have to earn it. (1/4).

25
219
Voice Actors:. An ALMOST is still a huge win. Getting shortlisted, but not getting the job can sometimes sting more than not hearing anything back at all. We might get our hopes up, or feel like we always get close, but never land the role. (1/5).

Voice Actors:. If a roster asks you to list accents, yes, your native accent counts. You don't. not have accent.😂. Think about it this way - if casting is looking for "North American" accents and you have nothing listed because you think it's a given, I will miss you entirely.

Today was a career high. I got to work with not one but TWO dream clients, from home, AND laugh my butt off in session. What a good day. I’m so grateful. ❤️.

Voice Actors:. There’s a big difference between KNOWING you’re the right person for the job, and THINKING you’re the right person for the job. It’s a fact versus opinion mindset. And it's REALLY important to our careers. Let’s dive into what it means for us as talent… (1/15).

36
203
Voice Actors:. Please please please - make sure you are following submission instructions. The amount of folks who reach out to me without resumes when I specifically ask for them makes me SO sad. I need your resume to do MY job, which is pitching YOU forward for a job. ❤️
16
24
208
Voice Actors:. It’s important to have a social media presence of SOME kind. You don’t have to post every day, or have a large following, but it really does help casting to know you’re a real person that they may want to work with. It humanizes you. (1/5).
