Over the last few days I held a small, open auditions for artists to submit their interpretation of a storyboard for StiB Zelda. We had over a hundred submissions and it was actually really hard to choose!
I ended up going with TJ Bertino (@DreamKazoo on Twitter) for his awesome use of color and adorable Young Link. I hope you guys are as excited as I am to see his work on the rest of the video, which I finished and recorded this afternoon! It's looking to be somewher...

The new Tip of the Tongue episode is out! This episode focuses in making Resumes, Demo Reels, and Portfolios. It's mostly aimed at voice actors, but a lot of these tips are universal!
Also in this video will made THE WORST DEMO REEL EVER as an example of what not to do and it is hysterical. You should check it out.
Thanks to all our Patrons that made this video happen! You guys are great! StiB Zelda is getting its artist this weekend and we might even get another X ...

People seemed to enjoy this post where I shared all my Talk-To-Myself-Brainstorming about what's wrong with a franchise audioposts, so here's the one I just recorded for Zelda!
Admittedly I think this one's kinda boring and unfocused, but someone might enjoy it, so here it is!

Yo! There weren't a ton of outtakes for this video, so I just decided to do a behind-the-scenes "what lines got cut and why" thingamadoo for you guys. I discuss a few of the lines and alternate reads that I wrote into the script that didn't make it to the screen for one reason or another.

I asked her to compose a new theme to replace Paper Mario TTYD's Glitzville Theme for fear of copyright shenanigans down the road. Most video game companies are cool with you using their music as BGMs right now, but you never know when that might change! (Some of my older videos have gotten nailed for similar things)

Yo!
I'm drawing the final pieces of artwork for this Danny Phantom video I've been working on since forever and a half ago. The last scene I need to finish is a quick mock-fight between Danny Phantom (VA: SungWon "ProZD: Cho) and Rebreather (VA: Butch Hartman) that pokes fun at the over-the-top nature of PUN-SLINGING SUPERHERO FIGHTS. (During the last bit where he laughs a fish swims into his helmet and be begins coughing).

Over the last two weeks I marathoned every single animated theatrical release DreamWorks has ever put out, and boy are most of them bad!

I finally got the go-ahead from Butch for the video! He'll be a guest voice in the role of an original Danny Phantom ghost bad guy! He was kind enough to design this cool underwater diving suit ghost for the video. Still need a name for the guy though. Any ideas?
Pretty cool that we get to name our own semi-canonical Danny Phantom bad guy!
