Yes, I have quit the VAC, but out of late night boredom I stumbled on the board.....and I really need to say some things to "GrantM"
Ok...first of all, the reason people at the VAA started to not like you is because of how many times you mentioned that you WERE going to be a pro VA for AVA and Funimation......dude you cant just throw that around.
Most people that want to get into this business....dont even make it past the starting gate. There are millions of actors in the world and guess what, out of those millions....one becomes a Brad Pitt, or a Tom kenny, or a Rob Paulson. You cannot sit there and say you CANT WAIT TO BE A PRO VA......its not a game, it takes hard hard work. And by hard work I dont mean you stay up all night and make a demo...Im saying you go YEARS without ONE job. You can't just overnight become a pro VA.
Ill tell you soemthing, I have auditioned for around 10 feature films....iv'e been in one...as a bit part (lots of you know of what I speak of) thats over the course of 5 years. Aside from the independant films I have been in... that was my FIRST paying acting job, and it was 1000 american dollars. guess what, that doesnt pay the bills.
and i listend to your demos and you really need to start using your god given accent and stop forcing an american one. You sound very very very forced. Everything you say sounds like you are trying extremly hard to hide your accent. STOP HIDING IT. If you want to CHANGE your accent....you need to take speech classes (not acting classes), or just go with your normal voice.
It just gets me personally angry when people just SAY they are gonna be famous or they CANT WAIT to be a pro something when they havn't even left their living room. Now GrantM, don't take this personally, but that is all i have seen of you so far reading back a few pages.
