Voice Actor, moving forward. Played a tree stump once. And a street light. I post sometimes about my cats and the pizzas I make. https://mikeaskeyvo.carrd.co/
I see so many people down on themselves on my timeline. All these great people, with talent, & personality, & they've all somehow convinced themselves there's something wrong with them. It is not a crime to be yourself & do the things YOU want to do. Doing your best is nothing to be ashamed of.
Whatever else you felt today, or are still feeling, please know there’s still love beneath all of that.
Sending love to all of you.
I think this might be the best pizza I’ve ever made. It’s a stuffed pan pepperoni pizza, and it came out incredible. I think it’s for special occasions only. It’s pretty rich.
Sometimes, making pan pizza makes me happy 🍕. I needed a little extra boost, so I made a stuffed crust pan pizza. I think I accidentally made the stuffed crazy bread pan pizza. It’s a highlight.
First: Congratulations! Second: Each job is something you've earned. It wasn't "given" to you; it's a job. They're hiring you, not gifting you a role. Don't fall for the trap of feeling like you "owe" your employer for your career and agreeing to things you're not comfortable with.
@bendiskin.bsky.social Hi. I wanted to ask you a question. A few weeks ago I got my first VA role in something. If I were to continue this path what’s the advice you’d give to someone new?
Anyway, this was an audio drama I was a part of. I’ve listened to it a few different times, since I love the old timey radio feel. I play Howard, and he was a hoot to play. Listen, support, enjoy! youtu.be/UCL2i_c8uDg?...

I haven’t posted in a while. So here’s photo of one of my cats. His name is Elton and he’s a good boy.
So America, you take your 33 1/3 tariff, minus my 25% tariff and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning with a Tariff. But then you take my 75% tariff, if we go into shutdown, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 tariff. See USA, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you in 2025.
Here's the thing. Yes. You can be a voice actor and work a full time job. The problem is that after a full day at the ass factory (and the various other tasks that come with being a functional adult) I would literally like to do nothing less than get in the booth
Someone asked me what my favorite 90s anime was, so I told them One Piece & they got really angry at me.
For the record, I cannot think of a WORSE application of AI than audiobook narration. The attempts I've heard at mimicking the human voice don't hold up under scrutiny. Even if your average reader can't hear the difference, they will FEEL it after hours of inactive, unconsidered speech.
Fuck this, absolutely fuck this, everyone who loves audiobooks loves their favourite narrators because they are great at their jobs and interpreting the author's words and they make the experience what it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Better Man was…for the lack of a better term…incredible! Brilliant movie, and the new arrangements for the songs made more sense once I saw the film. Definitely worth watching, especially if you love his music. I was singing along to everything 😅

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, and to all a good night!
I'm sorry...to my non-American followers, I'm sorry...a lot of us tried. We really tried and we're angry and heartbroken.
I do not have words. I’m sitting here in a daze, with anger and disappointment and frustration. Im terrified for the rights my family may lose. I’m terrified for the things we’ve worked hard to earn will just go away. All I can do is just keep fighting.
