It remains one of my proudest career achievements to have cast and directed the voice work for Nightdive Studios' award-winning System Shock remake. And now, I can say that a game I directed is on Nintendo Switch 1 & 2!! Congratulations to the whole team!

Thrilled to be among so many great talent and good friends in Ocean Drive's awesome title Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch as Anton and Porter! To the studio crew and the fabulous Jen Losi and @voiceofbevins.bsky.social -- love you bunches and it's always a privilege to work with you. Game out NOW!

This is one of the most practical, useful, and eye-opening classes, taught by one of the best in the biz. You absolutely do not want to miss this.

Out for the first ride of the not-murderously-hot season, patrolling the Mojave, and discovered massive veins of selenite gypsum -- huge glassy chunks just sticking out the ground! Nothing in the world beats the rush of a new discovery and learning new things about our world. 🤘

This may be one of the greatest days of my life. I just received word from UNLV Dept of Geoscience saying I may have literally actually discovered a rock formation during my desert explorations that's unknown to science. I could not be more excited! This is my childhood dream! (Even if it gets ID'd)

My good friend Terrance got hit with one of the scariest bugs out there: necrotizing fasciitis. You never know how fast life can change. Today, him; tomorrow, you or me. Let's help him kick this thing's ass and get strong again. DONATE! 🤘

What time is it...? NEW CONVENTION BANNER TIME, BABY! 🔥🤘😼🤘🔥 Next on the docket: my first time visiting Columbus at @TheGDEX, Sept. 4th-7th! See you soon, Ohio!

centuries from now, provided anyone still exists, 1995-2050 is gonna be viewed as the lost generation cuz everything solely stored on the cloud or on servers will be deleted or fail, so we'll have almost no physical media or records of anything or anyone from this time period

TOMORROW is my last Extreme Vocals class until 2026! Register under the link below to learn safe, sustainable brutality!

I have ascended to a new plane of wastelander evolution. Rather than collecting interesting scrap from the desert, or using stuff like bottle openers or jewelry I find, I have for the first time fixed a broken thing (some outdoor furniture) with a bolt I found in the desert. Time to make some shit.

Highly recommend if you're looking to expand your toolbox of VO techniques! Thanks for the great class Michael. Honestly still kinda tired from it BUT my throat does not feel like gravel 🙌

TOMORROW - ONE SLOT LEFT! Learn how to sound as evil as you feel inside. Register in the link under the quoted video!

Those who know, know. Got a killer price on them. 🥃

Artistry. AI. Acting. A sandwraith. I had the pleasure of joining Senate candidate, GDEX-convention-founder, and overall renaissance man Chris Volpe on The Sandbox Space, talking about all the above and much more. One of my favorite interviews I've done. youtu.be/1GAZ27c3qQQ?...

WANNA SOUND SCARIER? I CAN TEACH YOU! July 19th - Extreme Vocals for Extreme Roles is back!

DB is the best in the business when it comes to creatures and monsters, and it's because she knows how to innovate! I'm so glad your session went well and I'm glad we could make it happen. 🔥🤘🔥

For the first time in over a year, EXTREME VOCALS FOR EXTREME ROLES IS BACK! I'm walking you through all the techniques, tips, tricks, and secrets that I've used to land roles in over 100 videogames and anime. Details and registration are in the link below! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This sounds like the setup to a joke, but isn't: Taking this class genuinely helped me reconnect with/be less upset by kid-me, who used to do silly vestibular fold stuff but scared myself out of it as a teen…meaning I lost that power for ~a decade. It's a super rad look at your vocal anatomy, too!

Voice actors: TAKE THIS CLASS!!! Learn how to be METAL AF WHILE SLAUGHTERING DEMONS and still be able to retain your dulcet yoga instructor vibes. I took this class 5 years ago or so and still use the techniques learned in it. It helped me discover gravely voices, gross zombie noises, and more!! 🤘

Going live NOW for an early morning podcast with Volpe Creates! www.twitch.tv/thegdex Come listen and chat with us--we're talking all things videogame industry related, talking GDEX!

LOOK NONNIE, I'M IN A PIXAR MOVIE!! I couldn't be more thrilled to announce that I'm in the new movie ELIO! This session (2.5yrs ago!) was such a major milestone for me: my very first union theatrical credit, AND first union prelay animation credit. I've been eagerly awaiting the release ever since.

Don’t focus on saving the world. Focus on making a difference for one single person. For them, the world has been saved.

Always a pleasure to work with a real pro! Thank you for everything, Michael!

IT'S LAUNCH DAY! I'm thrilled to have the privilege to once again partner with @nightdivestudios.bsky.social to cast and direct the updated voicework for the definitive version of one of the most iconic games of all time: SYSTEM SHOCK 2: 25th Ann'y Remaster. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/sy...

i can’t stress enough how valuable this lecture is. i’ve always struggled with socializing online/making friends in this industry; the advice/info in this lecture helped me see that it doesn’t have to be difficult or scary. HUGE thanks to @michaelschwalbe.bsky.social and @redscythe.com for this. 🙏

Thanks for having me! We really had a great group, great questions afterwards. For those who didn't make it in-person, the full three hour lecture is available for download for the next month. 🔥🤘🔥

Did an endoscopy today completely unsedated and unanesthetized. clinically-certified deep throat champion, baby. 🤘

"As a perfect industrial-grade mass-produced combat platform, I am VERY HAPPY-!" --to announce, now that the strike is over, that I'm the EN voice of this delightfully earnest weapon of war THERMAL-EX, in Arknights! I had a blast! (😏) Hope you've been blowing me up lots!

At UPS to mail a thing and was delighted to hear the dulcet voice of Bing Crosby as I walk up, Don’t Fence Me In. In line, I quip “Ay! UPS rockin’ the Bing!” The clerk gave me a strange look. Whatever, not everyone knows quality. I hum along a bit, finish, leave. The music follows. From my pocket.

Here’s why “pft if you get lost in Death Valley just walk at night!” is not gonna help you at all.

It's surreal enough to say I had the privilege of casting and directing the original EN voice of Sailor Moon herself, Terri Hawkes, in an amazing new indie game still in the works. But to say that I had the privilege of directing her in her FIRST VIDEOGAME EVER is, quite frankly, beyond belief.

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization and should be treated as such. Whoever leads the country after this is stamped out better have the courage to do the swift Nuremberg justice that should’ve been done after January 6th.

HELL YES. Give the gestapo a Los Angeles welcome. Make Nazis Afraid Again. 🔥🤘🔥
