Short and sweet, but still a bit fun. This was a little PSA I did for a Fairy Tail fandub. It's supposed to be the main character giving that little warning that always shows in text at the bottom of Japanese anime. I love this character, so any chance to work with him is jumped on! XD
Other than that, I don't have much to say right now. Keep happy, everyone! ^_^

Achievement Unlocked: Busiest Weekend Ever!
So, now that I've rested a bit, I can write about THE BUSIEST WEEKEND EVER!!!
Thursday really started my weekend. I was up til 12 midnight recording lines for projects with quickly-approaching deadlines, and still didn't end up recording all that I needed. I'll be recording the auditions that I missed today (which happens to also be the day of the deadline (lucky me right (just wanted more parenthesis =D)?)).
Friday morning, I was up at 7 because I was to accompany some very awesome friends on a road trip to San Francisco. Cristina was asked to go and sing at the premiere of the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (The Haruhi movie) up there, and we all figured that it'd be best if she didn't have to make the trip alone. It was a very awesome time. The movie was AMAZING, and I definitely plan to see it the next opportunity I get. We had an interesting experience at dinner, too. Not sure how much I should say, but I will say that Japanese men really love their Karaoke. XD
We got to bed at about 2:30 Saturday morning. Then it was up again at 7 to leave for home. 2 stops, 3 pancakes, and 6 hours later, we were back in the Greater Los Angeles area. But I couldn't go home yet. Made it to the Pendant Picnic, a gathering of various people involved with Pendant Productions (http://www.pendantaudio.com/). Met up with them at about 3:30, even though it started at 10, and we got to hang out in Hollyweird for a bit.
After some food at In-N-Out, I had to leave for a party at a relatives house. Got to see some people I haven't in quite a long time, so that was very nice. After getting schooled at basketball by people easily half my height (MAN did I feel old), I headed home for a quick shower. Then I was back in Hollywood to attend a club. Internation DJ Lange was playing when I got there, and my acting-manager introduced me to some guys who want me to play at their restaurant/bar/place on the 11th of June. Which is a paying gig. FINALLY. So I'm happy about that.
Finally got to bed at 2:30 (again). But the weekend was not over. I was up again at 7, attended early morning mass (BLEH), and headed out to Santa Monica Pier for day 2 of the Pendant Picnic. This time, we all watched some of the children of people in the group play at Pacific Park on the pier. And then it got cold. Like... really REALLY cold. So they all went back to the CO of Pendant's house. I wanted to go with them, but my day was not so free.
I had to be at a planning meeting/DJ Practice with Infinite Voyage in Marina del Rey. But the meeting didn't turn out so badly! I FINALLY got to have a little B2B session with another DJ! DJ Beyond, one of the newest members of our little group, was willing to do it, so we played together, each DJ picking one track at a time, for about 45 minutes. It was neat, because we have pretty much the same taste in music. :D
And then, THEN I got to go home. Made it by 8:50, and went straight to bed. For the first time in over 3 years, I went to bed before 11 PM. In fact, I was knocked out by 9:30. Slept for a whole 12 hours, too! :D
So, the only new thing I have to show off right now is the finished product of my final for Audio Production, which can be found HERE. Hope you enjoy it.
In the next few weeks, some more projects should be coming out. And I'm also waiting to hear back from a very high-profile video game that I can't speak about. But yeah, fingers crossed, and with some luck, we'll get some good news soon. Hope everyone is doing well! ^_^

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
So, yeah. Hi guys.
Sorry I've been so behind on this. School has picked up, family stuff happened, and big things have happened.
So let's talk about the big stuff. I was asked to go to a read through at Fox Studios 2 weeks ago. It was for a new show idea that I can't say much about, but it was quite the experience. Don't know if I've been accepted into the production yet or not, but I eagerly await to hear back from the director. It's an interesting story, though. I met Cristina Vee through a mutual friend. Then, I she introduced me to a few other VO people (whom I know have the pleasure of calling friends), who introduced me to more, who passed my contact information to the director who sent me a Facebook message. So whoever came up with the idea of "6 Degrees of Separation" wasn't lying; I've experienced it first hand.
Most of my time lately has been spent working on a radio play that I had to turn in for my final for Intro to Audio Production. As of now, I never want to touch Pro Tools again. I have a great respect for the engineers now, which is exactly why I took this class. Needless to say, the final product will be up online later on, so check my Facebook for more info on that.
I've been actively looking for more auditions, and have submitted a few things, but nothing has come back yet. It's definitely time to update my demo reel. That is what I'll be focusing on over the Summer. In the meantime, if anyone sees something coming up, it would be awesome if you'd either pass on word to me, or mention me. Without an agent, I'm finding it hard to find stuff. But I'm not giving up any time soon. :)
Hearing Voices has officially ended for this semester. If you missed any episodes, head to http://tinyurl.com/HVEps to check them out. We return next semester with more awesome guests and a possible co-host! And keep an eye out for the upcoming Youtube and Facebook pages. :)
Other than that, I hope you're all doing well! I'm going to try and update this a bit more frequently, now that I'm not freaking out about school projects. XD

Curse you, passage of time!!
So....
I feel like I've failed with this blog. When it's going on 5 weeks and I haven't updated, I know there's a proble,
Life has been beyond hectic, with both VO stuff and DJ stuff picking up some steam. The radio show's been going well, and I've got Christopher Smith as my guest this coming Monday.
Been taking a few more workshops here and there, and just yesterday I recorded some PSAs for Titan Radio, the on-campus radio station at California State University, Fullerton. That was cool. I'll see if I can upload a few of them here so you guys can have a listen.
Some news about the game I was in: the production has been slowed a little bit because the art team went on to bigger and better things, but the director has assured me that they are looking for new artists to finish up the project. I'll definitely update everyone when I have more information.
On the DJ side of things, I have a gig this Saturday at the Woo Lae Oak Korean BBQ Restaurant in Beverly Hills. If you're interested, check out the event on Facebook by clicking this link here: http://tinyurl.com/y3eagap. There's another chance to catch me at RISE in Hollywood on the 30th. More information about the event will be available later on.
This weekend, I'm headed to the Anaheim Comic-con. Looking forward to it, even if I'm acting as Press. Phil Lamarr and Maurice LaMarche will be in attendance, so I'm hoping to talk to them and look into getting them on the show for one of the few remaining weeks this semester. That would be cool. ^_^
Since the last update, my character in Genesis Avalon has reached an untimely end. Check out the whole story at http://pendantaudio.com/genesisavalon.php.
Also, my character has finally made his debut in the Star Wars: Blue Harvest radio play. It's brief in this episode, but his involvement does get a bit stronger in upcoming episodes. You'll definitely want to give this series a listen. Head to http://www.pendantaudio.com/starwars.php for listening pleasure. My first appearance is in episode XXVII (27, for the Roman-Numeral-Impaired).
Finally, the clip to the right is something I'm quite proud of. I recorded for this fandub back at the end of January, and it's finally come out! The producer did a great job mixing this together, and the cast does an awesome job as well! A lot of guys in this one, so to clarify: I play Bishop, the long-haired man in priest-garb wearing sunglasses. Let me know what you think! I had a lot of fun playing the character, and I'm very happy with what came out as a result. WARNING: THERE ARE SOME ISSUES OF LANGUAGE AND BLOOD IN THIS CLIP. VIEWER DISCRETION IS SUGGESTED.
Still working hard to get this career off the runway. Doing my best, so I hope you all can give me your support. :)

Whoops...
I let time slip by again, didn't I?
Wel, in voice news, I've fallen into a tiny bit of a funk. But I hope to pick back up soon.
Main issue? I cut my chin. I'm alright, but I'm going to have a bit of a scar for a long time, I'm sure.
Anywho, sorry about how short this is. I've been really busy but I promise to try and spend some more time here. :)

Too much good stuff...
So, Crispin's workshop was awesome. Figured out some more interesting things about my acting biases and other similar things. Not much to say about that other than it was an awesome learning experience that I'll probably be repeating some time.
Monday I found out that I was cast in two plays at Cal State Fullerton. This is very exciting news for me, and I'm really looking forward to working with the 2 directors for "Momma's Boy" and "Playthings." Keep eyes open for more info on that in the future.
The big news today? I'm freaking out. Why am I freaking out? Because I just bought myself a 17" MacBook Pro. Yes, this is at once a career move and an educational one. I needed a new computer, and a lot of things are moving in the Mac direction. Especially since my audio production class is using ProTools LE. It's more convenient for me if I can use my own computer to organize everything.
But, that doesn't mean I can't still cry. Bye bye money!
Clip to the right is a new one. I play the creepy guy, Izaya. :)

18 Days Later...
No, it's not the title of the next big zombie/infected movie. That's just how long I've been so busy that I've been unable to update.
So, short and sweet: the lesson went AMAZINGLY. I really appreciate all that my exceptional coach worked with me through. I learned a lot about myself as an actor and how I think subconsciously when I act, so I will be working on that. Next time I see this person I will be asking them if they feel I'm ready to shell out the $1.2k to make my professional demo.

Last week was hectic for me. I tried out for Cal State Fullerton's One Acts and 10-minute Plays, and I ended up garnishing 11 callbacks. 10 of those were last week, and one is today. I also find out the results from last weeks callbacks today, so fingers crossed for that one.
Also last week, I was sort-of-officially cast in a visual novel. It is a fan-made VN that explores the life of Alan when he is transferred to an alternate dimension. Namely, the world of Haruhi Suzumiya. And ironically, the game is titled Worlds of Haruhi Suzumiya. You can find out more information at http://wohs-project.org/. Your's truly will be playing the role of Itsuki Koizumi, so keep an ear out. ^_^
Clip to the right is the second of the Fairy Tail clips I've been involved with. I play the pink-haired Natsu, as well as some of the background characters. See if you can spot my voice! XD
This weekend I will be attending Crispin Freeman's Character Archetype class. This will hopefully help me with expanding and discovering the full range of characters I have under my belt.
Speaking of Crispin, tune in to Hearing Voices on Monday at 4:30 PM PST to catch my interview with him! He'll be joining me via Skype, and I've got quite the interview planned. Check it out at http://tir.fullerton.edu!
And that's all for now! Hope you are all doing well. :)
