Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Need something to talk about eh? How about:
Super-light velocity travel. Is it possible? Or will your space ship accelerate to 185,999 miles per second and then begin to gain so much mass that it is unable to maintain its current shape or speed? How can you avoid these forces?

No?

How about this: Did you know that if you placed an atomic clock in the basement of a skyscraper, and another at the top floor, the one at the top floor will ‘tick’ faster? Is this real, or was the experiment a secret evil plot by governor Arnold to keep people interested in sci-fi movies?

Still no?

What if I said that black holes where no longer a theory, and that we have even created a small black hole on earth using gold! Would you believe that insanity?

Ah, who am I kidding, kids these days don’t give a spider monkeys cancer infected lung about space. Lets just talk about something mindless, retarded, and repetitive, like sports!

It's....

MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING MEGAPOST!

FrostRhino: Okay, got your sample this time round! Very nice, love the accent. It sounds a bit awkward when you try and force your accent to disappear, but when you unleash it full force (with probably a little exaggeration, I think?) it sounds totally awesome. Anyway, welcome aboard! I'll add your profile to the roster later.

Frogs: I shall live forever until I die! Now cough up the merchandising! And your challenges are strange so I shall run away from them. *runs*

flamesvamp: If you want to join the club, check out the How to Join? section of the Newgrounds' Voice Acting Club Roster.

DO NOT SAY "I'LL MAKE ONE LATER" OR "I'll GET A MICROPHONE IN THREE MONTHS" OR "EMAIL ME FOR SAMPLES PLZ, K?". GET A SAMPLER, HAVE IT UPLOADED AND LINK IT BEFORE POSTING YOUR PROFILE. THIS IS NOT A NEGOTIABLE POINT. THIS MESSAGE IS IN ALL-CAPS AND BOLDED FOR A REASON. SORRY IF IT SEEMS REPETITIVE, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS POINT WAS CONVEYED PROPERLY.

KagomeHigurashi: Yes, us people who have to replace the old actor after they've buggered off need to stick together! O.o;;;

Lucien: Yay! I get a cookie! *dances with it* COOKIES 4EVA! Now I have to try and guess the last two roles. O.o

Isca: *waves to Isca from her internetless home* Poor Isca. Let me comfort you. With Elliair. Covered in chocolate sauce and ready for HAWT LESBIAN SECKS.

chibi_lila: 24? Old? HA! I laugh at your age that you consider old! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How I laugh! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! .... I'm so old. ;_;

ARMY_ranger: I'd audition for this Robotech thing, but I get the feeling I was casted in it before... Then I heard nothing about it for several months. And now here you are asking for people to audition again. O.o And your topics remind me of sci-fi nerds talking. I refuse to be drawn into such debates. Because they are endless and invariably all just boil down to the eternal sci-fi nerd debate: "Which babes are hotter: Elven or Vulcan?".

Shinigami_Ichigo: Well, too late! I've changed yer profile name to match your NG username! It's going to be in the next update round, though.

rickstertherockstar: If it makes you feel better.... 10 years ago when that thing with you and the thing you got blamed for but it wasn't really your fault but you got punished for it anyway and have had terrible mental scars from it ever since? Well.... That WASN'T me who hopped into a time machine and did it and put the blame on you to twist your childhood into an obscene mockery of idle fun and happiness. Rest assured in that! Yup! And Zim's voice is hard to imitate at best.... I mean, has anyone actually heard Richard Horvitz's natural speaking voice? Zim's his actual voice, just a little bit more nasal and pitched and mean-like-crazy. You can't just FIND someone who can replicate a voice like that, it's madness! That kind of voice just doesn't happen everyday!

Shalamaseskia: You promised you wouldn't tell that story about my sleeping around with famous celebrities in order to steal their voices to anyone! @_@ I'll never forgive you! And your idea sounds like it could degenerate very quickly into an all-out flame war. We actorish people have huge egos, yanno? O.o

Elliair: WOO! Lookin' forward to that VAC animated thing. I think it has great potential to be very awesome indeed. ^_^ If you sort out who gets what part and everything. O.o And on-topic can be fun if you do it right! Like.... Cleaning up after dinner can be fun is you do it right! Right? .... Right?

luminousnerd: No, see the Special Notes section is there to note major acheivements and stuff; it's just that the wording of your Special Notes makes you sound very much like an arrogant ass who's full of himself. The part about purchasing a "very expensive microphone, high quality samples will be given" seems to imply that everybody else on the roster has a crappy mic and can't give high quality samples. "I work for credit and/or payment" implies that your skill level is so high that you deserve to be paid or given credit (or both). I deleted both of those lines in any case, because I think it's safe to say that any voice actor on the roster worth their salt can produce good samples and that everyone is working for credit, in any case (if you think anybody's gonna pay you on NG, you gotta be dreaming). Finally, while I'm leaving in the fact that you're taking voice acting lessons, I'm a bit leery about the wording you've opted to use. Taking lessons from a professional voice actor is great and can get you a lot of basics down, but you're wording it in such a way that the achievements of that actor are somehow your own. As if somehow the fact that Chris Miller "has worked on many internet toons, as well as Playstation 2 games and MANY Hollywood movies" has anything to do with your own skill level and acheivements. With no roles to speak of, an average sample and a Special Notes like the one you got: You're strutting around like a peacock without any tailfeathers. You probably didn't mean to imply anything of what I just said and I'm probably reading in a lot more into it than what's actually there, but that's just the way I see it.

El_Sammo: Any relation to El_Shamro? No? Nevermind. Anyway, I had a listen to the voice acting in your movies and noticed that there weren't any credits given to say who played what character (so I wasn't sure what parts you played, if any). But the credits aside, all of the voice acting was.... rather monotonous and lacking in enthusiasm and voice projection. On the plus side, your quality is surprisingly okay, you avoided mic puffs most of the time and had only minimal sound distortion. And your acting becomes comparatively improved with each subsequent episode. On the whole though, I'd say you need to recruit people from the club to voice your stuff, rather than try and join it.

Neiro: Heh, you listed Xin Session 13 as one of your favourite movies. Not just flash movies, but movies in general. I find that amusing. :-)

did you not understand?

Neiro: Jeebus H. Antonios, man! Stop asking that question every hour! Someone will reply ASAP, but until then stop asking for voice actors over and over and over and OVER again. Unless of course, you need it RIGHT NOW for a project that's due the very next day and that your entire life, your family, your pet dog Fluffy, nay, the WORLD as we know it, DEPENDS on you getting those voice actors IMMEDIATELY.... Which I very much sincerely doubt. So calm down. Relax! Take a siesta. Dangle that line and just sit back and relax. Someone will bite sooner or later. And btw, you DO happen to have a script to go along with that pair of voice actors' talents to grasp and not just waste their time waiting for you to sort that out? Cause if you haven't gotten a script yet.... Maybe you should do that first. And the preliminaries of character design and animation. Voice actors like to work on stuff that will be completed. It's a..... "I like to work on stuff that will be completed" sort of thing.

FrostRhino: Nice to hear you've gotten unto a few job offers already!

Frogs: Are you thinking of naughty things too? Cause I am. Oh yeah.... Naughty, naughty things. Chocolate covered tissue paper.... So HAWT. @_@

Naoki_san: Groundless statements like yours in which you purport to be able to do any and every voice in existence is just going to be met by one phrase around here, kid: "Prove it". If you want to be taken seriously, get a sampler.

That's actually what you are supposed to sound like on a résumé...

This isn't a resume. This is a profile that's going on a roster that could quite possibly LINK to a resume if and when you get one.

Finally, while I'm leaving in the fact that you're taking voice acting lessons, I'm a bit leery about the wording you've opted to use. Taking lessons from a professional voice actor is great and can get you a lot of basics down, but you're wording it in such a way that the achievements of that actor are somehow your own.

No offense, but in the professional voice acting industry, the higher achievement of person you take lessons from, the higher accredited they are. It's also simple logic...if you take lessons from a crappy vo person, you are gonna suck too...if you take lessons from a good one, most likely you can be quite good.

Conceded but are you somehow implying that those of us who haven't taken lessons are somehow inferior? And since when do crappy voicover artists run lessons? It's pretty safe to say that if you ARE taking lessons, you'd be taking them from someone responsible enough to have carved out a niche in the VA world before trying their hands at teaching. But I'm splitting hairs here at this point so I'll leave it be.

As if somehow the fact that Chris Miller "has worked on many internet toons, as well as Playstation 2 games and MANY Hollywood movies" has anything to do with your own skill level and acheivements.

Well, it does...I learned from him.

But that doesn't make them YOUR achievements. It makes them HIS achievements which you are trying to associate with your, as of yet, unburgeoning career. You can be taught by all the best teachers in the world, but it means jack squat if you don't have your own talent to go by. Which you do, but you're definitely no Chris Miller, yet.

With no roles to speak of, an average sample and a Special Notes like the one you got: You're strutting around like a peacock without any tailfeathers. You probably didn't mean to imply anything of what I just said and I'm probably reading in a lot more into it than what's actually there, but that's just the way I see it.

Well if anyone sees it that way I suppose I should change the wording. However, I want this resume to be applicable to my professional acting resume if it gets anywhere.

Again, this is not a resume. It's a profile that goes on a roster. If you want an example of a resume, check out some of the links on the roster to see what other people have done with their resume setup. Or check out the pages of some of the professional VAs around.
