Hey there! How's it going? My name is David Garcia or as people usually refer to me, Dritent, Dri for short. If you couldn't tell, I'm a voice actor hoping to go pro one day!
My range is medium-high to low. I mostly do teenagers, young adults, and some child voices. I excel at monotone voices and raspy/breathy voices. Do note that my voice has a noticeable rasp.
Inspiration
If I had to point to one man who set me on this path, it would have to be Alejandro Saab. I've been a fan of him for about 7-9 ish years-ish, not too certain on that number. I started becoming an avid fan of his, watching all his videos and such. When I first found out he did voice work, I simply thought "oh, that's neat" and didn't think too much about it. It was until I started actually hearing his work that I started developing a slight interest in it. Then I started hearing his stories about working in the industry and it seemed like fun! I started by just trying to impersonate voices that I heard from animes and video games. This led to me going down a path of discovering and learning about voice actors and their communities! There was an interview featuring a voice actor that really moved me to start trying my hand at this (I sadly cannot remember the voice actor and I haven't been able to find the video). They said that they don't do voice acting to get famous or to make a lot of money, but instead to entertain and make memories for whoever hears his work. This especially struck a chord with me because not long after they said that, they also said, "Anyone can be a voice actor, they just have to work hard!" I started thinking about doing it, doubting that I could succeed in something like voice acting. But then one day, while I was relaxing and watching one of Alejandro's videos, he said the same thing. "Anyone can be a voice actor." That was the final straw that pushed me to start voice acting. I looked up tutorials, advice, acting classes, and audio recommendations to start. And that brings us here, to where I am now! I'm having a blast doing this!
I voice act now for a similar reason; to entertain and give a performance that sticks with everyone who hears it! Though that doesn't mean I WOULDN"T mind making a bunch of money, haha, but that's secondary!
