FAQ (Patreon)

Hello everyone!! This is the beginning of the FAQs about me! I hope you all can understand more about me through this!

Q: Was there something in particular that inspired you to pursue voice acting?

A: I from a young age was a huge fan of fantasy! I spent a lot of my time living in the far outreach of the forests of upper Michigan. It gave me a lot of time to read and to write! Eventually I ran out of books and things to do so I would make dramatic plays in the barn, with only the cats as my audience.   Eventually I came to my first year of highschool, I was not the most outgoing person but thanks to needing an elective class and choosing drama on a whim I got an amazing teacher who had a passionate and very effective way of forcing me out of my shell! I ended up very outgoing by my 4th year and I even went on to study media arts!  Also, my roommate said I should do it. So that and a necessity to pay the bills!  

Q: Why ASMR?

A: I started because I have trouble sleeping and I liked ASMR for a while, seafoamkitten to name one! I thought maybe my voice would be soothing for it! So I did my best!  

Q: What got you into doing the Character X Listener style of videos?

A: Honestly I just thought it'd be the best way of reaching my dream, to give smiles and tears and all kinds of feelings to share with the world! I really love telling stories and this is my favorite medium other than maybe writing!  

Q: How long have you been doing voice acting?

A: Generally speaking, about twelve years!

Q: How did you learn to manipulate your voice to fit so many different characters?

A: I practice for a good portion of every single day so I think it’s just trial and error and a lot of time studying! I spend a lot of time trying to get into the head of the characters. Study speech patterns and just delve into their vocal performances. I think it's just practice and dedication!

Q: How do you warm up your voice?

A: I tend to sing a loooooooooot and that's how I generally practice for an upcoming voice! I particularly like singing in my different ranges, some songs I'll sing in male range and some in female. Though I can sing the both in operatic ranges! Though the intonations are what gives me a bit of trouble in certain ranges.  

Q: What do you use to make the NSFW 18+ sounds/kiss sounds?

A: I actually just use my hands and move around the mic strategically and method act the scene as best as I can. 

 Q: What advice would you give to someone pursuing voice acting? 

A: Ok so first and most important advice, start ASAP. (delaying is only missed time really.)   Figure out your niche and your passion! Do you like to read scary stories? Make a creepypasta channel! Do you like to make skits? A comedy voice acting channel could work!   Do you like impressions like me and can do a few? Then just start going for it!   I practice by doing different ranges and singing a bunch! I love singing a looooot and think its the easiest way to build up different control ranges!   Best advice is almost always the same, do it asap, do it often and do it to the pedigree you know is the best you can do!

  Q: How do you write your scripts? 

A: To be honest scripting is something I don't do. It's all improv. But if you script, the best tips imo are to keep it feeling natural, heartfelt and extremely human. Read it out loud and don't be afraid to make mistakes it can take time but if you don't give up your passion will reach them!

Q: Do people write scripts for you/do you accept scripts? 

A: Yep, though other than the three scripts that have been done since the start I don't think I'll be able to follow one directly as I feel it would change the style a bit too much as of right now. 

Q: How long have you been writing, and do you have a favorite genre to write?

A: I've written for most my life so I don't really know how long precisely, but my favorite genre is dark fantasy and mystery!   

Q: What sort of music do you listen to when you write? 

A: I listen to almost exclusively classical piano!  

Q: Do you ever get discouraged by mean comments? 

A: Nope not really, I just take it as a sign I can still improve, and sometimes it may just be creative differences. No biggie!  

Q: What recording equipment do you use? A: I use an AKG C414 microphone with an audiobox usb mixer and Adobe Audition! Adobe Premiere to edit. 

 Q: How long does it usually take you to edit? 

A: It depends on what I'm doing, but typically about half an hour to an hour depending on the recorded audio and what needs to be done. Then to assemble, it can be another hour or so if I gotta retrieve new music and such.  

Q: How long do you typically record for? 

A: I record for either 10 or 14 hours a day, though that’s including breaks and eating and such. So realistically maybe 9-12 hours a day. 7 days a week, too! I tend to record everything I do improv with only a concept to go on, so it ends up mostly 1-5 takes per recording, depending on length.  

 Q: How do you catch bloopers? A: I tend to record and listen back and if it sounds like something the character would say/do I tend to leave it even if it's a tiny bit imperfect. However if it's an outright mistake I'll redo it. It usually takes two or three takes to get it all recorded.

Q: How old are you? When’s your birthday? 

A: My birthday is public after the doxx, can be seen with a quick google search. 

Q: Do you sleep? 

A: I sleep usually between 3-6 am and get 8 hours after that. My schedule ranges a bit but I try extremely hard to avoid staying up or missing rest. So in general I'll try to have my work for the day done by midnight!  

Q: Face reveal? 

A: Pinned in #the-yearbook.  

Q: Can I draw you?

 A: Oh sure! You can draw me all you like! I'd be honored! Post it in #staff-offerings 

Q: Have we ever heard your “normal voice”? 

A: Yes :3 It's most like Eight.

Q: What do you do in your downtime? 

A: To be honest usually just spending time with my roommates or watching/reading something! I enjoy writing and also planning ahead and talking to friends!  

 Q: How do you deal with anxiety? 

A: I think anxiety is a matter of stopping yourself, taking a breath and letting yourself have a moment to rest. To accept that the circumstances are nobody's fault and that even if you do feel guilty to give yourself room for failure. Heck I fail more than most! It's the secret to success!  

 Q: Do you believe in ghosts? 

A: Yep! I've seen a full bodied apparition and have had a lamp tossed about an inch in front of my head and smash across the wall among a bunch of other things I couldn't explain. Jack Wellington is the ghost that appears in my audios sometimes.  

Q: What’s your quirk? 

A:  I definitely would love a quirk to either shape shift or maybe control over water? Otherwise I think maybe a quirk that controls blood! Or oooooo OMG best one would be one where I could bring words to life! Like make a story and it quite literally comes to life! 

Q: What’s your dream vacation?

 A: Probably a very adventurous place, or a place with amazing food!(edited)

A: I think there are too many to list :3 But I want to voice as much of the main cast of bnha as possible >:3  

Q: Who in your life is aware that you do ASMR/have a YouTube channel?

 A: They have an idea! Not the entire story. I've told a few friends since they sometimes are prone to worrying, and since my roomies lost their jobs, it's a really good turn of events that things worked out! So I'm super happy overall! They're a bit shocked since it's so much growth so fast!  

Q: Are you satisfied with how your channel has grown so far?

 A: Yes! I am very proud of how its gone! Though I'm trying really really hard to make it even better cause I feel there is tons of room to make it great!  

Q: How do are you able to do the NSFW 18+ stuff without getting embarrassed? 

A: To be honest I just let the improv take over and I am an ace/aro girl so its really more like art when I think of it, though some are embarrassing ;;

  Q: What did you want to be when you grew up?

 A:  I think it’s a funny story, but for about the first 10 years of life, I was convinced I was going to take over or destroy the world. I had this twisted perception of things and I kind of had this strange desire to be a villain or someone that owned everything. I guess I had a bit of a big imagination ahaha.

Though the easiest ones or most comfy for me to voice are: The random Nurse, Eight, Toga etc.  

 Q: Least favorite character to voice?
