Ah, don't you just love it when life happens?

As it turns out, those two female voice actors I was speaking about aren't gonna happen, in all likelihood. As it turns out, over the summer, they got jobs working at Valley Fair, the MN version of six flags, and they are busy beavers, no pun intended. That, and the "main star" has already dedicated her voice to another project, so... none for you!

FL Studio for me, I guess its starting to sink in how hopeless the situation is. Maybe Its just one of those things: you know how some people, no matter how hard they try, just CANT do something well? Its like me and drawing, I cant draw to save my life, and could it be I cant FL studio to save my life...? or do I just have no patience? Regardless, I've been working less and less with that. Sad panda.

HOWEVER! I got a microphone. I've got GoldWave. Goddammit, Im gonna use them!

I may not have the best voice in the world and I've never got a leading part in any plays, but hell, if I can produce a voice and be witty enough, who knows what might happen?

thanks!

Well, I have great news! No, im not coming out with a new subpar song, so you can breath easy. the news is this: My sister, who's been a long time stage performer and a member of the National Thespian Society (I think that's what its called), has expressed a interest in providing voices for flash video's and games! Both her and my mother (who has no credentials, but hey, she's a grown women, those are hard to find) plan on collaborating with me to make a voice acting demo for all you hungry flash people who need their mad skills. I happen to know my sister is a great actor (no, Im not saying that due to our family ties, she really is good) so She'd be useful for any project. And my mom just rocks.

So in any case, look out for that: I should have something up relatively soon, but you know how unpredictable life can be.

Look forward to it!

thanks!

I posted a new song. But this time I dont know WHY I posted it. I just... did.

I mean, Im not terribly fond of it. and its not well made (But when has that stopped me before?), and its not... I dont know, I guess I submitted it just because I could. its a strange power I have now. I could spam NG with half-assed songs, if I wanted.

But I wont. this was just a "on a whim" thing.

...oh well. i guess its like these posts. Unnecessary, but amusing. for me.

thanks!

T_T wow, you guys sure are downers.

I mean, granted, its not the BEST song on newgrounds, far from it, but zero? Its worth more than that! Sure, its only thirty seconds long, but its a good thirty seconds! Fine, so my other work isn't spectacular, I acknowledged that, but you had to shoot down the song I was proud of?

well... I must admit, this is quite memorializing.

...if not downright depressing.

In any case, with the song I liked at zero and my other songs just going down in score, thing's aren't looking great for me.

oh well. life moves on, I suppose. I'll just have to try harder.

thanks...

whoot! its been a long, depressing road, but I finally have got some gusto back! I got some halfway decent musicmaking add-ons that Im playing with right now. and I made a pretty good thirty second song if I do say so mahself.

look forward to some more mediocre work in the future!

thanks!

*facefault* well, this project can go into the dumper.

Just about everything that could go wrong did, to be blunt... not to mention my compleatly legally aquired version of z3ta dosn't work at all... geeze, everything around me is epic failure.

but you know, a good artist never blames anyone but himself. I guess I just took on too big of a project for my n00b mind to handle. Oh well. I'll just go back to square one with a new song. Thats life for ya.

WELL with that announcement out of der ways, I'll leave ya be.

thanks.

I've identified my flaws in the music making, and I've been taking steps to improve. Now, as my final, per say, Im going to make a song based off the poem "The Bells" by Poe. Right now, I started, and outside having some problems with the first paragraph (the second and third are coming out great) I think this could be my first 5-worthy song. Im goning to take it slowly so I dont get angry with it, but not so slowly that I get bored with it. Its a fine line I'll have to walk.

Regardless, with "lyrics" in front of me, I have an easier time putting together notes to make it sound good. Normally Im working on one song, and without any way to keep me on track another song pops into my head and I lose it midway. So this is good. Very good.

=3 keep an eye out for it, if ya'll please. I'd like this one to get noticed. (if it comes out well, that is)

thanks!

Well, I got another song up. Voice in the Woods. I thought it was at least 3 worthy when I posted it, but apparently ya'll disagree. which is fine. Relistining to it, I wish i had found some way to extend the ending, the last roar was supposed to last longer than it did. T_T Oh well. we all make mistakes.

=3 but still! 2.47 or whatever? That means at least SOMEONE liked it enough to give it at LEAST a 3. For that much, I cant really say I feel too bad! Its funny. When your some random guy who just votes on things, a 3 is basically "eh". But when you submit work and someone gives it a three, you cant help but feel awesome. Hey, its a lot better than a 2. And everyone loves butterscotch.

So all in all, this has done nothing to hurt my morale, in fact, it gave it a boost. =3 im still a noob at this, so to do so well as to get a 8/10 really makes my day!

thanks!

Somethings bothering me now.

How is it people even KNOW about this? Thats been gnawing at my mind for a while, and I think its dawned on me: these are getting put on the front page! Or at least ONE of them must of, because I dont think anything I've submitted so far has been worth people stalking me over!

@_@ dude, I had no idea. I didn't mean to take up space used by real artists. I'll shut up now.

thanks

Well, I was feeling pretty low of myself early today. But thats all changed.

1) I took a well-needed break from pratice and just chilled with pokemon.
2) I got my first review/download!
3) my amazing tutor was on and showed me some new stuff.

Tomorrow I'm eager and excited to work on my song. I dropped the Wind ideas for now, but Im working on another song. It needs a little work, but I hope to have it good enough to be posted by the end of the weekend. =3

Look forward to it! I know you are.

thanks!
