I recently appeared in a short film by chance and greatly enjoyed it more than I thought I would, now I want to get into acting for more or less the fun of it since it was such an enjoyable experience.

My wife enjoys a lot of animation fromany different genres and media, and she has this crazy ear for voices that just blows my mind. She has literally identified voice actors from single words, and, even more impressively, screams/grunts/other non-verbal noises. It's absolutely insane and to me it seems like a superpow…

Sometimes the voice actor will ABC a line and I always ask them to record an audition line instead of just sending me some previous work.
