I love Voice Acting it's been apart of my life since birth I believe, at least that's what it feels like. It's something I want to keep doing for the rest of my life! I genuinely started voice acting back when I was a kid always mimicking all the cartoon characters I saw on TV. I was always known as the weird kid but seeked out by many for the fact I was able to sound like famous people. The talent wasn't really pursued until I actively started fooling friends with prank calls. It was a riot! pretty soon I up'ed my game to more enthused characters like Optimus Prime. Probably the most difficult Voice Impression I have ever worked on, even to this day it's hard to stay in that character but I feel he is the best to try. Simply because Peter Cullen's Voice was a gate for me to reach Don LaFontaine level of an impression. I think I must have listened to Peter Cullen's voice for at least 24 hours syncing my vocals to his level. Believe me when I say this my throat was burning but I found something. It was within that time I realized Peter was saying these lines with emotion. Constantly trying to figure out why I couldn't sound exactly like him I found that you need to read these lines in a sense that Optimus is literally looking down at a destroyed planet Cybertron. He is describing to the viewers what he went through and where they are now. That is how I truly figured out Voice Acting and found my passion.
