Happy Holidays everyone. I haven't been on this platform for some time now. I tried chasing my dream of being an actor years ago but that path didn't work so well for me then. I've recently been very interested in doing voice acting work and feel this might be something I could do.
Any help with maybe getting started with some small gigs that I could audition for from home as I do have a computer, working on getting a good microphone and some audio software. I love video games and have watched anime cartoons since I was a kid.
Hey, Tahachi Hardrick! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. If you'd like to learn more about myself and the Stage32 Team, we have an intro blog: https://www.stage32.com/blog/Meet-the-Stage-32-Team Nice to meet you!
Aww, happy holidays to you, too! Yeah, man, voice acting is a great avenue right now. You can get a simple microphone upgrade for $75 (blue snowball mic is a decent one). But don't take my word for it! Drop in and ask for advice in the Acting Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting There are also more than a few fantastic blogs of late, including this one: https://www.stage32.com/blog/How-to-Run-a-Successful-Voiceover-Business-...
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time. Cheers!
Thank you so much. I will look into that microphone and check out the Acting Lounge
