VA Pet Peeves

[C.Strife89]

I got a question on formspring recently about something related:

"From what I see it you mostly turn down all the people who ask for you to be in their fandub. Why is this?

Short answer: I'm very picky. Long answer: several factors. A) I hate the show they're dubbing B) the show they're doing is already dubbed and I think it'd be a waste of time to do it again C) the producer's mixing skill isn't up to par, or D) it's a youtube fandub which is to me the VA equivalent of a black hole.

Also, you have to consider that I have classes, work and other obligations that come first."

So I actually see nothing wrong with that mentality. Maybe it's not 'nice' when it reaches the point of arrogance, but on the other side of things, it's better that no one wastes anyone's time in the end.

Well in that situation it's different in someways. You have your like's and dislikes. Nothing wrong with that. Me personally, I agree with a few. The only slight thing is what you mentioned,when it hits the focal point and becomes the "Im better, your not, go suck a keyboard" phase. Or rather when it becomes known. Then the "bitch" as we shall call it comes out and it snowballs from there. What I was referring to is when it gets to/already the "bitch" point and people act like snoobs to others, and what not. Good point in bringing that up.

How about hobag? ... well, no, that's a little mean. Let's be a little dignified and call them hobaskets.

Haha ... I like hobaskets.

There's really nothing wrong with being selective, as Y. Chang said.

Totally agree. But I also think turning down a role "politely" shows a lot of class. Especially when it's being offered from an inexperienced director/producer who obviously respects your work.

Everyone starts somewhere, and while more experienced actors are under no obligation to act as role models, showing a little patience doesn't cost anything.

So anyway, a peeve . . . my dog snoring at my feet while I'm trying to record lines.

"Well, I have things to do but I should be able to record tomorrow! *Cough cough* *Cough cough* *COOOOOUGH* Goddamnit!"

Where the hell did this cold come from, anyway?

Typing an audition thread. Finally finished it. Click post...and my fucking login session times out!? WHYYYYYYY? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WOULD DO THIS.

That has happened to me before. All you need to do is log in again, then the screen will say "Thank you for logging in" with a "Proceed" below that message. Just click "proceed" and the post will go through.

DO NOT GO BACK DURING ANY STEP OR YOUR POST IS RUINED 4EVAH.

People who call you up from Newgrounds to do a flash project, and don't bother to look that I prefer emails because I don't check Newgrounds as often as other places!

This already happened to me once, and although I didn't miss much on the last project I missed, I'm sure as hell not gonna have it again.

I like bitches. There's nothing wrong with bitches.

Cause you are one most of time?

Waiting on lines from people when the deadline has past and you haven't heard anything at all from them :/

Accidentally deleting my best take and SAVING it only to find out the next morning; when the very THOUGHT of not doing my best haunts me (Kenshin...>_>); and...

Waiting on lines from people when the deadline has past and you haven't heard anything at all from them :/

This. All in one day.

One thing that sort of crawls under my skin for some odd reason, when people title their fandubs or something of the like with the original japanese title. When it clearly already has an english translation that probably makes more sense.

It really isn't that much of a deal but it just gets to me o.O

What if you know that they happen to be masochists?
