Here's progress on the Recipe For Disaster short. I still need to redo the sound and get the voices clearer by the request of the critique audience. I voiced everything myself so once I get help it should be easier to tell them apart. By now my plan is just get it done. I made a production schedule for class but between my concussion, the anxiety and dysfunction the schedule was fueling, I've disregarded it at this point. I've got a target number of frames to hit each day and I'm giving myself the ever flexible schedule of "do as much as you can, whenever you can, in whatever order you can" Sometimes that's line-art and rough animation, other times that's coloring and backgrounds. Whatever gets my brain excited to be productive. Inevitably, this is going to shoot me in the foot by leaving me with whatever my brain decides is tedious towards the deadline, but I'm sure by then the panic will light a fire under my ass and it will get done.

Connecting Voice Actors With Animation Students

With the death of BTVAs casting call section my classmates in animation have been struggling to find voice actors for their student films. So I'm using my pool of influence and a specially made discord server to connect:

Amateur Voice Actors

Voice Actors Looking To Make Demo Reels For The Purpose Of Getting An Agent

Hobbyist Actors

Volunteer Voices

People Who Like Doing Silly Voices

With

Animation Students

If any of these describes you, join the server!

Special equipment and experience is NOT a requirement for actors.

NO PROOF OF ENROLLMENT is needed for animation students.

Actors get their name and socials in the credits of student films which, on rare occasions go viral. (Welcome To Hell was a student film made at my school. The director of the animation department actually voiced one of the protagonists.) This isn't a guarantee but even if the films don't make it big, it's something to put on a resume and shows agents you can work with a director and have the sort of voice people are looking for. While payment isn't a guarantee I am encouraging tips and at least one of my classmates mentioned wanting to pay actors for a different project. In general, the animators are students, not studios. Adjust your project budget expectations accordingly.

Animators get voices. Lots and lots of fresh voices to choose from and the opportunity to make all sorts of connections with other animators and of course actors! I can't stress enough how great it is to have a voice in your head and know exactly which friend to call to make it a reality.

So join the server!

Also it would mean the world to me if the people of tumblr would give this post a boost! The more connections the better!
