If you're here, you saw one of my auditions more likely than not, or you're here from a project I've been apart of, in which case... Hello! The rest of this is professional nonsense, so its gonna be far different from my regular tone. That in mind, I hope you enjoyed my work!
The Formatting with CCC cannot be utilized to its fullest unless you have a subscription, even basic things such as Headings become unusable, for this reason I've had to get creative, but I've made it as easy to read as I can!

What Work Do I Prefer? ▓▓▓
◼ My preference lies in Original Projects, and Projects showing great Consistent Progress. If your project is both of those things... Then my interest is piqued.
◼ Fan Projects or the like can still get me on board if you strike my interest or convince me, however.
◼ If you need to contact me for work, but would rather use email, I have an email under GrayKnightVA"at"Outlook.com You may send a message to! If I don't get back to you, you're welcome to send a follow-up message!
◼ If you've worked with me once, you're welcome to DM me anytime if you have another project in mind for me.

Where can I see your past work? ▓▓▓
◼ There's a WIP collection of voices/demo reels on my attached link tree, and once its finished there will also be a google document with past work attached to it.

About Me ▓▓▓
◼ I'm someone with a love of Creativity, Voice Acting being my specialty of course.
◼ I practice & apply several types of voices and strive for improvement on the regular. I've been compared to the likes of Michael Kovach by my past Project Leaders, which should be a good example of the variety that goes into my voicework. Additionally I am always looking to improve the sound of my DAW, so if you have critique or additional recommendations, do share them.
◼ Want to know the types of voices I've learned? Well I'm making a list, once its gotten to 100 voices written down I'll make it publicly viewable.
◼ My goal in voicing a character is to represent them the absolute best that I can.
One of my greatest joys is voicing a character who is underrepresented in media; such as someone transgender, or from a culture that's poorly represented, for instance. Although I may not be among the underrepresented groups myself, if I can learn about them, and respect their culture, I believe I can help bring to life more icons for unappreciated folk to look up to.
▒▒ For longer term projects ▒▒
➤ if you believe I have the range for the voice you imagine in your head, but my audition isn't quite there, talk to me, and maybe you'll have what you want with some back & forth within X amount of time dependent on the complexity.
Current Goal: Learning to yell when using an inherently female voice & not have my voice falter or sound masculine.

Communication ▒▒
➤ If you're too afraid to talk to me when something comes up, don't bother bringing me on, I'm not someone that'll put up with it. If you need reminded on the other hand, that's not an issue.
➤ If I have an issue, I *WILL* talk to you about it before it becomes a problem, you will not wake up suddenly to a resignation & a block. That's not cool.
➤ I'm as professional as I am needed to be, I can be your friend, or your co-worker, but when it comes to my job as a Voice Actor, I always take it seriously.
➤ Additionally, if there's anything you're unsure about after reading all of this, feel no hesitation to ask me personally, I'd rather you ask a question than avoid it as a "risk".
▒▒
Expect Proportionate Work ▒▒
➤ I will not work for less than I am owed if promised payment. If you underpay, you will lose the right to use my voice in the future until my debt is repaid.
➤ If I am unpaid, you may lead me, but you may not boss me as though I'm your unpaid intern.
There is a major difference between professionalism and extending far over your bounds.
➤ Both those things in mind... if there is an issue I will bring it up to you in private, more likely than not you will do fine.
▒▒ I WILL... ▒▒
➤ Swear a hell of a lot if necessary.
➤ Be as emotional or as stoic as required by the character or scene.
➤ Yell if necessary.
➤ Voice additional smaller characters if necessary.
➤ Join a Discord Server or Equivalent once casted.
➤ Voice any character regardless of sexuality, culture, heritage, etc... HOWEVER, in order to represent the character as best as I can, I desire to be taught extensively about anything I may not know about any of those variables.
▒▒ I WILL NOT... ▒▒
➤ Voice Sexual NSFW Content
➤ Participate in spreading hatred of an ideology or group. (Specifically as a hateful outlet, shining light on the reality of things is fine, however.)
➤ Solely voice one or two background characters. This only applies to projects that don't know what they want yet, if it's a quick recording session then I'm off with follow-ups every once in awhile, that's fine! I just can't twiddle my thumbs while your project eats up a lot of time for little to do in return.
➤ Join a Discord server or equivalent for the purposes of Auditioning. (Unless that's explicitly what I'm signing up for, I'll retract my audition if you surprise me with that.)
▓▓▓ � I have to give something priority, but is it your project? � ▓▓▓
░░░ The following aspects incentivize me to prioritize your project over others in order of priority.
➤ Personal Passion for the Project
➤ Paid Project
➤ Tangible Evidence of Project Progress being made (art/code/images/etcetera)
➤ Treated Fairly & Respectfully
➤ Easy & Understandable Scripts & Expectations.
➤ I know I can trust the Leader to tell me when a retake is wanted, even if not required.
░░░ The followings aspects instead will lower your priority among everything I have to work on.
➤ Slow or non-existent progress being made.
➤ Primarily Sloppy work. (Poor Rushed Quality)
➤ Poor Organization/Leadership
➤ Project not being taken Seriously. (Lack of Care)
➤ Unpaid Project
░░░ The following will result in my immediate resignation or questioning of the project.
➤ Disastrously bad handling of a fragile situation.
➤ I am made aware (with verifiable proof from multiple sources) of the mistreatment of colleagues.
➤ I have been lied to on repeated occasion by project higher ups.
➤ I or others in the Project are being exploited unfairly for the project lead's gain.
(The above is only in extreme excess, everyone has something to gain in a project, that's fine.)
➤ Immoral or otherwise deplorable behavior from those involved in the project without proper action being taken against them as recompense.
➤ The project has begun utilizing Generative AI in ways I disagree with.
➤ The Project is no longer what I signed up For.
➤ I Morally or Reasonably cannot continue to support the Project.
