You all get a backstage exclusive today! I recently visited Mark Garret of Kardavox Academy at his studio, and helped him out with a reaction recording! When it gets closer to the released date, I'll share the link with the entire community, however. . .
NO ONE KNOWS THIS IS COMING!
I hope you all enjoy my antics!

Hello all!
We had a fantastic and deep conversation in Wednesday’s live chat about defining music genre, and I’d love to pick-up on that in today’s live chat. I compiled a bunch of notes from that chat, and put them together to come-up with this group definition (open to discussion today!):
Music Genre: A set of evolving characteristics agreed upon by a community to group certain musical bands or performances together.

Hello all!
Tonight, Wednesday June 30th we're doing another Patreon live chat in Teams! I know we had a YouTube live chat today, but some of you get to see me double.
The topic tonight is: What makes a genre? How do you differentiate the different genres of metal, and how? Why is rock, rock, and how does rock become alternative, or symphonic, or progressive, etc.?
See you all there!
Best,
E

Hello everyone!
Sorry for getting this out a little too late, but we have a Live Stream of D&D today on our Twitch channel. Join me, Mark from Kardavox Academy, Linsay Rousseau (voice actress), Kirk and myself as we trudge through the elven forest to find the secrets within the elven stronghold!

I hope to see you all in chat!

Sorry for getting this out late, but the exam and other things ran a little long today. Here we go!
Live chat topic today will be about cute animals. Stories, pictures, whatever you want to share. Why cute animals? Because, I have a family of something nesting right outside my office window and I can't stop looking at them.
Chat is in 1 hour from now, 1pm PST / 4pm EST / 9pm BST / 10pm CEST
Hey all,
Kirk here. Elizabeth's not feeling well this evening so we're going to need to cancel this Wednesday's live chat. We still plan to push forward with Friday's however (and Saturday D&D is still scheduled as well).
Apologies for those in the western hemisphere!

Today's live chat will continue being in Teams, link below. Talking with Kirk, he had an interesting topic being discussed in the Discord last night: how do we convert returning viewers into subscribers?
We've talked about having another channel dedicated to more intriguing videos regarding voice, vocalization and podcasts outside of reaction/analysis videos, but for the current videos we're doing, what else can we do to increase the number of people clicking sub...

We wanted to bring some more behind the scenes footage of our trips, only to be seen here on Patreon. You see a non-native Kirk swimming towards a Napoleon fish, and myself being swarmed by a school, but for the most part it's just five minutes of serene swimming with nature's creatures.
Pia, I fully expect a list of fish in this video!

Where do we go from here?

Greetings Patrons!
I am so sorry for it taking so long to get this video made and up. We're a few weeks behind, but don't worry, we'll get another Beat Saber video made here in the next couple weeks. I'll post again next week for song submissions, and most likely film after D&D next Saturday.
This time, we had a number of great songs. I hope you all enjoy, and to those Voyeurs that didn't have a chance to get a song in, shoot Kirk a message.
I hope yo...

We had to cancel last week's video chat, but we'll make up for it today. Friday's game was a huge success, and I had so much fun. . . so we're doing it again! Those of you that made it to Friday's, you're going to have to think of something new this time. I know it's last minute to get this out, so I hope the 12 hours is enough for you all to pass stuff to Kirk.
I hope to see as many of you there as possible!

Hello all!
I am looking forward to taking a break tomorrow afternoon to spend some time with those of you that can call into our Teams meeting (link below), then a few quick games of Among Us afterwards. This time, Kirk and Dave are testing out a new tool that we will use at the 500k party, so those that want to participate, rules are below!
I hope to see as many of you there as possible!

We'll be doing live chats again from the office this week (whew), and I don't know/think a topic has been selected just yet. We might just do an open forum, we might play 2 truths & 1 lie again, or we might come up with something between now and the time of the chat.
To those that are new, we host a live video chat twice per week where all are welcome to join, turn their cameras on or lurk and engage with me and the rest of the community. It's a lo...
We LOVED your honeymoon playlist submissions. They were both sweet and romantic, and sometimes even steamy (giggles). Thank you for putting this together for Kirk & myself! A huge thanks especially to Quirky Uncle Dave for coordinating. <3
I made a few notes on my phone as we listened to each one, and want to post those here for all to see. Here's the link to the playlist in case you want to follow along:
All,
We're back, and as such, we have a lot on our plate to get done. We've hunkered down and are filming a lot of reactions, along with some other vocal tracks and fun videos for all of you.
April's voting for the Patron Poll ended a couple weeks ago, and it looks like Chris Cornell and "Like A Stone" acoustic version will make it to the channel soon. I'll add it to my list and see how soon I can get that up on YouTube to start the copyright process.

Hi all!
Kirk and I are back from our trips to New Orleans and Orlando. We got a lot of work done, met with some artists and took a lot of photos, many of which will make it to our Instagram account later this year.
That said, we did have a couple patron live chats while we were away, and appreciated those that came supporting us despite our tech issues. Now that we're back in the office, we're able to get back to normal.
Below is the link to the Teams meeting....
We just finished having brunch with this multi-talented guy, Layne Stein. For those of you who don’t know him, he’s the vocal percussionist of VoicePlay. He also co-runs Pattycake Productions (check-out their Villain’s song, Tough Love). Plus, he does a lot of the production and arranging for VoicePlay. AND, he balances all that with four daughters and a lovely wife.
Did I mention he also has been teaching me how to beatbox? :-D :-D :-D #luckyduck

So. We did a thing out here in Arizona.
I'm recording a new music video, and we brought out the filmographer from Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens & Tim Foust. Taking some footage here in the mountains of Chiracahua, we decided to give you all a sneak peak!
Please do not share this link outside of Patreon. This is raw footage, unedited and uncut. The final product will be stunning when we finally wrap things in June!

Hello our beautiful community!
I can't say how thankful I am for all of you not only supporting this community, but relieving the stress of a week away from premieres by holding down the fort. Some of you jumped into roles to keep things moving along, inform, and instill that positive community feel that we work so hard to create. It allowed us to take a step back, assess that maybe the world won't end if we take a little time, and truly enjoy our break. Thank you thank you...
Hey all!
Kirk started digging through the camera footage we had today, and made this quick video of me snorkel jetting after an Eagle Ray in the reefs outside of Bora Bora. I didn't realize how dangerous they could be chasing after it, and will keep my distance in the future, but. . . how majestic was this creature?!
Much more to come, including some sharks, a napoleon fish and tons of fish! Not to mention, we did a photo shoot on the island, and there's a lot of Instagra...
Hey all!
Kirk and I are back from our honeymoon (sorry, so behind on messages and I'll get to them as soon as I can), and we're diving right back in.
Today at 11am PST (6pm GMT) we're having our monthly D&D livestream on Twitch. Join me, Kirk, Mark from Kardavox Academy, Linsay Rousseau and Timothy Meyer as we slay things, solve things, and just have ridiculous fun.

Hello my lovely Patrons!
We're uploading this reaction to YouTube tonight, and I have concerns about the graphic nature of the source video, and how that might affect/impact some viewers. So I am looking to you all as a moral compass.
I feel the strong messaging is extremely well done, and am impressed by the production value, the artistry, and the music itself. We added a disclaimer for the very first time in any video to hopefully save those that do not like the sight of...
Hey Patrons!
So another video got blocked and a copyright takedown notice, this time to Dimash. Back in January, I analyzed Dimash's 2018 performance with his 2021 performance at the US Presidential Inauguration, just to see what had changed over the years.
This was the first time that any Dimash video not only got a block, but a copyright takedown notice. Needless to say, it will most likely be my very last Dimash reaction (until they open up their copyrights again...
