You can hear my anime voiceover debut as Tina, in Dark Moon: The Blood Altar! ๐Ÿฅน Thank you so much to the team at Sound Cadence Studios for having me, and for being so warm to my nervous self! I can't express my gratitude enough - was a real gift at a time I needed something nice. ๐Ÿ’œ

A complete stranger started talking to me yday whilst I waited in a laundrette. I really wasn't doing okay, but tried to mask it/be friendly, even tho I didn't feel like talking. At one point, she just looks at me and gives me a long hug... One of those 'human' moments I will likely never forget.

This year really isn't holding back on sad things... things were already too tough, but a curveball new difficult and cruel emotion arrived today and I'm struggling to not be consumed with it all. So painful. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Hooray, I started collecting some #voiceover testimonials! โœจ๏ธ I initially starting collecting these just for a little bit of self-love, to look back on during rough times - but I figured I should probably share these amazingly kind comments and feedback I've gathered. (with permission of course) ๐Ÿ’œ

Had two stressful things happen yesterday that has quite frankly sent me into extreme worry mode - I couldn't even sleep because of it, so I'm basically a zombie today. ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ I hope things pick up.

Helping my neighbours to pack their things/car as they are moving away this weekend, but I'm just trying not to cry the whole time. ๐Ÿ˜ญ they've been so good to us. Friends moving away is always such a sad time, I struggle with changes like this. ๐Ÿฅบ

I got to visit the town where Hot Fuzz was filmed! ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿฆข๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ Was so cool to see spots from one of my favourite films. (And visit the shop to have a Cornetto... obviously.) ๐Ÿฅฐ

Despite being pretty upset with my healthcare situ and a couple of other personal worries, I feel like I did some nice auditions today. ๐Ÿฅน Like, when I was doing them, I thought it all was going to be terrible, but listening back - I'm happy with most of them. Can't wait to get them all submitted. ๐Ÿ’œ

Gross ๐Ÿ•ท story! I woke up at 3am with an itchy chest. Turns out it was a spider & it got squashed. ๐Ÿ˜ฐ I got up, it fell off & I then saw it was carrying an egg sack... I'd squashed eggs all over my chest. Ran into the bathroom freaking out... I'm still feeling sick thinking about it. ๐Ÿฅฒ 3am chaos. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Golly... it's time for a role announcement! ๐Ÿ•ฐ Crush Crush brought me back for a new voice role... please say hello to Polly - a cheeky British time traveller! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŽ™ Huge thanks + love for the team at Sad Panda Studios - I had so much fun recording her quirky voice lines! ๐ŸคŽ

Finally got a few small VO jobs in after a bit of dry spell (well, more self-inflicted stress rest, but still!) Really hope the rest of this year brings some fun and busy projects. ๐Ÿ’œโœจ๏ธ (OH, I also updated my website AGAIN, but I'm not sure if I prefer the old homepage hero or the new video one ๐Ÿ™ˆ)

I've had a pretty rough couple of months in the VO world with distressing project situations + seemingly being a magnet for generative AI projects. It's been hard to not feel defeated. But, I had a really nice long audition session yesterday in the booth, so hopefully things will pick up soon. ๐Ÿ’–

I've been writing this for months, but I think I need to unleash it finally... ๐Ÿ™ˆ I wrote a blog about how I built my first vocal booth recording space for voiceover! ๐ŸŽ™ I just wanted to share my experience. It's a long read, so a cup of tea and snack is advised. ๐Ÿ’– www.shuntervo.com/post/buildin...

Building my first voice-acting vocal booth

I wanted to make a post about how I made my first vocal booth space. This is mostly me discusing how I made mine, however I guess it could be considered a tutorial of some sorts - though I'm sure ther...

Yesterday, I listened back to some auditions I sent off, and it kinda shocked me how it didnโ€™t sound like me. Like, I can maintain that voice, but it just sounded so... not normal me and way too cool. ๐Ÿ˜† I don't know if that's normal or bad, but it was funny and weird!

Decided to get out the house for a bit and go to Brighton. I'll likely pop into Develop. Though I have no idea what to expect, and Iโ€™m an ultra shy gremlin who needs to muster up courage so... we shall see! ๐Ÿ™ˆ A little bit of Brighton retail therapy will also be nice. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Still sad, life is rough. BUT I managed to successfully make dango last night, at least! ๐Ÿก๐Ÿก๐Ÿก๐Ÿก (I made Hanami Dango but also made some sweet sticky soy sauce that you'd usually get with Mitarashi Dango... just to dip it in, as it's yummy ๐Ÿฅฐ)

Man, I don't know how to write this without coming across as misery guts... But having a passion that's criticised and clearly not worth talking about by a parent breaks my heart somedays. Part of my success is from pushing myself even with this lack of acceptance, but gosh - it hurts sometimes.
