On September 12th, I celebrated the two year anniversary of my job as a freelance voice actor. And oh boy, what an uneventful two years it has been for me. Sure, I was fairly active. Soon I'll be reaching the 100 auditions point, but despite that it's been rather quiet. One problem that I've noticed in the industry is the lack of apparent proactiveness from a lot of my directors and staff that I work with. I get the constant feeling that I'm the only person working on the project, and I'm only doing voice lines. In another situation, I had to put the entire video together myself on the behalf of the director just so something would get put out. This is the problem I have noticed in the field of freelance and unprofessional work. There just isn't any structure or motivation to finish things. This lack of motivation for small groups though is something I've noticed outside of voice acting however. In groups of people I work with that make games, I don't see much getting done. Friends of mine who are very talented artists aren't getting anything done. It seems as though people who work independently just get less done than those who are part of a structure. Why this is has been on my mind for a while. Was it because there was nobody but themselves to get them to do it? Was it an effect from the stress and drain of quarantine? I don't frankly have a clear cut answer.

AuthorI am an artist as anyone else is an artist (if that makes sense). My style is abstract and I also draw cartoons. I am also a voice actor for a web-series. Archives
