... He says on a day he woke up at 12:24 PM.

So anyway, as I said in my last post, I've bought a microphone. And it's really good. The Blue Yeti. I am wondering how I ever got by with the school's Samsung C01 microphones. I mean, they only record in mono! What the hell??

So anyway, that's one of the reasons I've put out a voice demo. The jump in quality from the old school recordings to the ones on my microphone is mind-numbing. Scared me a little when I heard it.

Anyway, the real reason I've made a voice demo is because I've recently been browsing the Voice Acting Alliance forums and looking for parts to audition for. They sometimes want a voice demo along with your auditions, especially in the bigger projects with a lot of extras to fill in.

Anyway, I was chosen to play Pvt. Dan O'Keefe in an Arma II machinima series. His first appearance will be in part 6, titled "New Recruits". Each part is like a full episode, averaging at a little over twenty minutes each. The series, which has 5 parts out at the moment, has a run time of about 1 hour and 46 minutes.

Here's the first half of episode 1:

It's a very ambitious project, and they're planning on concluding the story on part 10. I would recommend watching it, especially if you have nearly two hours to kill. Each episode is better than the last, as they learn from past mistakes, and figure out different tricks. Above all, though, the combat scenes are intense as hell. Check it out.

Part 6, the part I'll be in, is scheduled to be released November 24th, along with part seven, and possibly part 8. I don't know how set in stone that is, but I'd certainly bet on it. They're very professional about the production of each episode.

My lines for part 6 have been recorded and approved, so all I have left to do is wait.

In other news, I've been auditioning for several other parts, including a couple games. Those were fun to do, and I'm still waiting to hear back from most of them. I've settled into quite a rhythm over the past few days, and I'm lovin' it.

If anyone would like to recruit my voice for anything, just shoot me a private message. I love contributing to other peoples' projects.

I leave you with a picture of my "home studio".

Until next time.
