Voice Acting
This is the area I'm seeking to expand upon the most. My first year as an adult I spent time working on the range of my voice and making it my instrument. I have some experience in this field.
Singing
I can hold a note rather well and have always been told by folks around me I could sing if I wanted to. I have no formal training but I sing with passion and make an effort to take it seriously. I have years of casual, recreational singing experience.
Animating
I have spent over five years teaching myself the in's and out's of animation using Blender and no small amount of Youtube videos. Given enough time and devotion, I can make fascinating things, though I usually tend to make jokes with my skills instead. See https://www.youtube.com/@RepJunkieJr if you're interested.
Video Editing
I spent several years in middle and high school learning how to use video editing softwares such as Adobe Premiere, but on my own personal computer I utilize Capcut primarily.
Music Composer
This one I am still figuring out, but I have started to dabble in musical theory and with the help of a good friend of mine and fellow hobbyist, I have begun to experiment with musical composition. My main sources of Inspiration are John Williams and Jeremy Soule, but I also know how to make more modern and technological (synth) music. My software of choice is Musescore.
Audio Engineering
Before I fully grew up, Foley work was a hobby of mine. I was fascinated by the idea of taking something unthought of and using it to create a soundscape for the audience. I was most impressed by the way Lightsabers were made with a shotgun mic, or the bodily functions of the monsters from a Quiet Place being crunched lettuce. Creativity like that is the mark of a good story-telling team.
Writing
I've always had a passion for story-telling. It is, at my very core, a part of my being. When you introduce a character and the world in which he lives, you are creating a universe in which your audience can escape reality, connect with, and bond over. There is no greater magic than this which is why I take it seriously.
Acting
I've been in theater most of my life, though vaguely on and off as locations change. Tying in with my remarks in the Writing tab, I am passionate about story-telling, and will put my heart and soul into a character. I'm not the best, but once I have formal training and proper introductions, I would be eager to make my way into the bigger world of acting.
