a voice actor or a voice cast, but usually it's an offhand comment, a one liner. And that kinda bums me out a little. Because if you look at these voiced series (Ones with good VAs anyway) and compare that to a subtitled series of the same visual quality. Which is more engaging? I'll let you decide but I know what I'd pick. So just a quick thank you to you guys for raising awareness of the work and effort we do put into making the series and films truly more enticing.

How do you get into character? It depends on the character really. Sometimes I just read the lines and it kind of just happens, like muscle memory, cruddy answer I know haha Some characters require much more physicality than others, these are the ones that will make you need to take a break. Look at Mark Hamill when he voices that Joker, that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Creating the character physically even though only your voice will be captured is a must for the more four dimensional characters. I come back to Urge from the (hopefully) upcoming False Eyes. I put my whole body into that character, he has episodes and fits and a constantly changing personality. That kind of role is one you need to take your time with, you can't just phone in a character like that.

Is there anything in particular you like/ dislike about the sims community/ productions and why? The sims community and their productions. Hmm alrighty, on a whole at the face of it, it seems like a great community where everyone is friends. I know that sometimes people can be a little bitchy and snide comments are made, people are childish and silly things happen. I also know that in some instances the sims community can be very clicky, like your average high school movie. If you're cast in a long running series and you're t he new guy, sometimes it's great, everyone welcomes you and you have a great time. Sometimes it's literally like a stranger
