The Return of an Audition
Slopecrashers - Trailer 2024 - YouTube 4 years ago, I auditioned for a racing video game on a pay-to-play site. While I had so much fun performing, acting, and auditioning in the booth, I didn't know I was performing as a Lemur, who is afraid of heights and speed. Today, I watched a commercial for the game for the first time, and I heard a clip of my voice in the trailer. I'm grateful I was able to audition for the role. And if I really got the role, this would have made my d

War between Humanity and AI
To my f ellow voiceover actors, creatives, and more, There are many journeys we take in life. One journey we all face is the threat of AI taking our jobs, cloning our voices, and the computer cloning other people with Deepfakes on camera, in films, and more. Morgan Freeman and other actors have complained about someone using their image and voice to endorse a product they have no affiliation with. Something they never heard of... possibly to ruin their public image? Narrator

Relishing the Little
To my fellow Voiceover Actors and Creatives, In my previous post, I mentioned "Glory to the Small". Now I want to pick up where I left off by "Relishing the Little". When we watch Television, whether it's an animated cartoon, or a Feature Film, we immediately focus on the main characters and the immediate story that is occurring. It's not intentionally a bad thing at all. It's part of the entertainment experience. Behind the scenes, we involuntarily tend to overlook a chara

The Origin of My Voiceover Career
To my fellow Voiceover Actors out there, and anyone who has been reading my posts...I would like to give a shoutout to Dameon Clarke, who has voiced characters like Cell from Dragon Ball Z. I was really searching for a way to get into the industry in college. Dameon Clarke had a presentation with his fellow cast members. It was a great experience to get autographs, shake hands, say hello, pay my respects to the actors, actresses, hear stories about auditions, and be told abo

Little Moments of Life
To my fellow Voiceover Actors and Creatives, As we enter February of this new year, I wanted to write about 'Glory to the Small' and 'Relishing the Little'. In Music, every great song starts as a harmony, a melody, sharps, and flats—as well as majors and minors. Composers start with a small idea, and then the idea grows and becomes something powerful and glorious. I once went into a bookshop and performed the music for Gladiator on a very, very small piano. I knew how to pl

Loving the Journey and Being Patient : Letters to my Fellow Voiceover Actors and Creatives :
In the world of Business, making money is Expensive. I audition for roles every day. There's sometimes a 1:100 ratio when I book work. Other times, when I book work and don't get paid, I have to settle for my name in the credits on IMDb. And then there are times when I get paid for my performances, as well. The money is great. But then I have to fit it in my Budget for the future...Equals a Full Wallet Pay-to-play sites are like taking my already agreed earnings from Voices

Scott, Charlie, and Dan
To my fellow voiceover actors, and creatives, I want to share something about the day I met Scott Burns... About a year ago, I commented on Instagram, and sometime a while ago, Scott Burns reached out to me, told me he loved my Demo Reel, and that he was happy that I enjoyed his voiceover performance of Bowser! I got a letter and an autographed image of Bowser and Scott side by side. And it read, "Luke, how dare you ruin my Vacation! Bwah hahaha". Anyway, it was really aweso

Behind the Glass and behind the Mic
To my fellow voiceover actors and creatives out there, I want to share a quick note about being behind the glass vs. behind the microphone in a recorded session... As the Voiceover Actor in front of the microphone, my goal is to meet the Director's needs to embody and become the character(s) in the cartoon(s), or to honestly show that I care about a project or a topic, that I may or may not always agree with, with promos and Commercials. The most recent thing I have been in i
