I decided recently to take a look back on the things I've done over the the short time period I've been voice acting. It didn't take very long, as i haven't been involved in much yet, but most of what I've have been involved in, I've been proud of. One of the things I've really noticed is how much better my demo reels have gotten. I knew my very first demo reel sucked, but when i went back and listened to it again, i couldn't help but cringe.
"Seriously Richard?" i asked myself, "You seriously let this piece of crap slide?"
"Yes," i responded back to myself. "Because you and I both know that at that time, i wasn't as good at recording and editing my stuff as I am now."
"True that!" I said. I then high-fived myself.
But yeah, i started voice acting in November 2009. This November will be the two year marker. In that time i have had my voice in around 20 different things (Some of which were never released, some of which have yet to be released, and some of which have been in the works for over a year and I've been asked do do voices for continually. (That one is going to be jam packed full of RLFHOG3)) I've done three different Demo reels, i recorded an acapella version of the tetris theme which had gathered great acclaim and has been used in a flash video. I landed the best role i could ever possibly ask for about a year ago as well in the form of "Sin" from Comick's "In The Dark" series. Still waiting anxiously for that one to come out because once it does, I'm absolutely certain my name is going to become much more recognizable on newgrounds at least and people are going to come to me with voice acting work instead of me having to constantly seek it out.
On the eve of 2010, I was even told by none other that John St. John (The voice of Duke Nukem) that I had the potential to be a great voice actor and that has kept me going strong for a while and helped me punch through the rough patches that I've encountered in my life. (Not that a single, virgin, never been kissed, non-smoking, non-drug abusing, 21 year old collage student has any extremely bad rough patches anyways, but you get the idea.)

For those of you out there who do take the time to read my blogging on newgrounds when ever i decide to post it, i thank you. You help me remember that, as small a name as I am, i do have a fan or two... or 62 according to my facebook page.

Anyways, it's been a fun two years. I look forward to plenty more and, hopefully, many more fans that look up to me.

Continue staying awesome
