I’m getting way out of my comfort zone here, yet a few months ago just talking in Discord shows was uncomfortable, and now you can’t get me to shut up. ;) Just kidding. Sorta.

But for real, the time I’ve spent in voice chats during PYPT with @shadowspub, Sounds of Steem with @isaria, @swelker101, @krystle, and @aggroed, being interviewed by @enginewitty and @eaglespirit on RED Radio, and all the entries I’ve done for Open Mic have absolutely helped me grow as a performer.

💞 THANK YOU to everyone who encourages me! It means the world.

So here I am giving voice acting a go. I’m not sure I’m the best choice for these parts, but I’ve got nothing to lose so I'm going for it. This was good practice, and kinda fun, too!

You can find the voice quips (mini scripts) on the following posts:

Audition for Enchanted Pixie:

I like Enchanted Pixie, 'cause she looks like a raver butterfly. I can relate to a character like that.

Audition for Spineback Wolf:

Spineback Wolf is just fun. I tried to made her sorta sexy, you know, in a deadly sort of way. This character probably lends itself better to a male voice, but I figured I'd try it anyway.

There we are. I'm sure I can do the performances differently, but this gives those casting the roles an idea. I also have some new recording gear coming, so I can do the proper performances on a better mic.

At the very least, I've tried something new and expanded my horizons as a vocalist, considering possibilities I’d not yet pondered.

Would you please help me win a trip to Steemfest?

First of all, a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has already voted for me to win a trip to Steemfest3. You are AMAZING!!!

Asking for help is HARD, but . . .

I really, really, REALLY want to go to Steemfest this year, partially to give out a whole lot of hugs, but especially for the chance to perform live to a room full of friends. Okay, maybe I don’t know everyone who will be there, but there will be a lot of people I do know, and it would give me such joy to share my music! 💞
