After much thought, I have decided that I will no longer be lending my voice to any machinima projects. This includes any and all projects that I am currently involved with (the only exception being Definition of Forever) (UPDATE: And DC Al Fine).
Honestly, I used to have a lot of fun with voice acting. Somewhere along the way, however, it stopped being fun and it became a real chore. And I actually dread the thought of being cooped up in my house this summer recording lines. So, the time has come for me to pursue other interests.
I understand that this decision puts several directors in a bind when it comes to re-casting, but I’d be more than happy to help you all find replacements. If any fellow voice actors are reading this, and would like to offer their services, then please feel free to leave a comment on this blog so that the directors can have a way to get in touch with you.
While it lasted, I really enjoyed meeting and working with the diverse group of people that make up this community. Your support helped me more than you’ll ever know, so I’d like to thank everyone who went out of their way to reach out to me. To my fellow voice actors, I’d like to thank you for always giving your best, which constantly pushed me to get better. And to all of my directors, I really appreciate the faith you all showed in me, especially in the beginning when nobody knew who I was.
I sincerely hope you all continue to follow your joy — whatever that may be.
Yours,
Shawn
