Hiya! Here the main summaries of each of the things I do here on CCC (and other linked media):
My first voice acting work was back in around 2008 when I tried to direct a full fandub of the game "Tales of Symphonia" by Namco. Most of the main roles were filled but due to lack of responses and communication the project was eventually dropped and cancelled. In 2009 on I was accepted to play in Fandubs but none really took off either.
I got onto Casting Call Club in May of 2017 but basically took a year to see how it worked and built up some courage to do voice work again. At that point in my life I finished my BASc so I had vacation with family and looked for jobs in my hometown. Between 2013 and 2016 I worked on personal projects along with friends. I worked on voice mods for KRMMOs using our own voices, as well as made a System Voice clips for someone's original character for the game BlazBlue.
I only voice act in English, but can dabble in Japanese.
Originally from the Philippines, I've sang for as long as I can remember. When I was around 4-6 I wanted to be a singer but never amounted to anything because I was too shy. When I was 7 I moved to Canada and in October 2001 or so I joined the choir from our local parish. I've been singing in many choirs since then; anywhere from elementary school, churches, high school, and other groups.
I've been paid for my singing at regular intervals before and have sung at small town competitions and at a couple of funerals. Due to moving to university, paid time and event time were diminished. Since graduating university and getting a job I don't go to choir quite so often, but I always enjoy singing at home and recording little demos.
For languages I tend to sing more professionally in English, but I'm also comfortable singing in Japanese, French, and sometimes Spanish. English is my first language but I have been singing in Japanese since I was 8, and as a Canadian citizen I have sang a few songs in French. Our choir books at church have a few Spanish songs, and I'm half Spanish as well so that language isn't super foreign to me.
My work generally requires a lot of technical work, so getting home to exercise from creativity in both singing and visual art feels fantastic! I started drawing since I was 8 and I can generally imitate a variety of styles.
Since starting my job I've saved up and gotten a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet which significantly decreased my time required to draw/scan/edit art. I specialize more on concepts and design more so than detailed, well shaded, and colourful pieces, but I am practicing on improving on those areas as well. I can do these either with traditional materials (pencil, pen, paper, pencil crayon, and marker), or digitally.
Sometime around the time I was a sophomore in high school I dabbled in making sprites. Most of my early digital art was comprised of scanning traditional art then outlining, cleaning, and colouring them in the traditional MS Paint software. The process took hours but gave me a lot of practice in using the software and finding creative ways to do what I wanted with the medium. This is how I learned how to create character sprites. I can do anything from NES era sprites to sprites about as detailed from Blazblue (general Arc System Work) and other arcade fighter games.
PS. my current avatar was done by my boyfriend. Ain't he a talented guy?
