Lately I've been warming up the ol' pipes with this monologue and some other various phrases. I was warned by Zach Hanks to try not to warm up with screams so much, as I may drive myself into an early retirement, so I'm trying to cut back on that a bit.

Also worth noting is that since the Metal Gear series played such a pivotal role in my decision to pursue voice over, it's also really shaped my acting style, in a fairly disingenuous way. Charlie Adler said I seem like a very "cerebral" actor, which comes out the methodical, rhythmic and patterned way I tend to cold read my lines. Need to work on undoing that.
