"I'm not spending $300 for an artist to design a cover for my book" = "My book isn't worth a $300 cover design." I get not having money to burn, but if you're going to put hundreds, even thousands, of hours into crafting a novel, why kneecap it like that? Why devalue your own time/effort/art??

He’s a fan of the electric blanket.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

It’s my birthday!

ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT Hear me either yelling or speaking calmly- no in between- in Mobile Legends: Adventure as Darksteel Dullahan! Two role announcements in two days, but only because I completely missed this one when it came out. It’s hard to keep track, ok? 🤪 #voiceactor

🔥I’m the voice of Elthara in AFK Arena!🔥 Crazy excited to be joining this game as this awesome character with its beautiful artwork and *check out this comic I’m so excited!!* www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4RD... #voiceactor #afkarena

I am driving in Ohio. The speed limit is 60. I go 70. I keep pace with slower traffic. I am driving in Detroit. The speed limit is 55. I go 75. I am the slowest car on the road. Oh no- I am going to Canada. I did not mean to be here. The man at the gate only speaks French. What is happening.

Throwback to early summer when this gem dropped and made my whole year. 🥳 #voiceactor #smite2

My writing probably peaked with “fish-faced foot sniffer.” 6 characters in 1 minute. 🏃🏻‍♀️ #voiceactor #animation

Trying to evaluate whether a VO place is legit or not (there’s a ton of scams circulating), so I look at their roster and listen to the demos: mouth noises not cleaned up, breaths left in weird places, spots with identical tones strung together, overcompressed. Human? Yes. Legit? I’m gonna say no.

Voice actors, please, don’t try to train up by reading copy spit out by ChatGPT. PLEASE.

Can can? More like can’t can’t. (Watch out- here thar be cussing.) Just think of all these quality outtakes you would have missed if you’d used A👁️. #humanvoicesonly #voiceactor #narrator #outtakes

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats. Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation. Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them. It's the very least they should be doing!

#humanvoicesonly Exerpt from Silver is the Serpent Blood by William J Meyer. #voiceactor #narrator #audiobook #noAI Thanks for letting me narrate your beautiful work, @bywilliamjmeyer.com !

Ok, I confess: I think Klaus is the second best Xmas movie I’ve ever seen. And the only reason it takes the number 2 slot is because NOBODY messes with The Muppet Christmas Carol.

If you’re not the kind of person who listens to the same song on repeat for days at a time then we can still be friends but we certainly can’t go on road trips.

Possibly my most voice actor moment ever: I didn’t like my bank’s voicemail so I recorded and sent them a new one. 😂

Hey writers- you want a sample of your writing recorded by a professional voice actor and maybe a lap cat? HMU or fill out the form at dcasellian.com and I’ll upload it this Friday!

Finally got a real desk for the booth and it’s like a whole new world in there.

Technically this is SFW but only if you’re good at it. #voiceactor

My first solo narrated fantasy book is now available for your listening pleasure! Download it at authorsamanthajo.com or on your fave not-Audible audiobook platform. 🥳

Time for a resume refresh. Or if you don’t want to look at tiny pictures you can grab the pdf at dcasellian.com.

You can hear me belting it out as Brenda Blitz in the dizzyingly spectacular REBEL ENGINE, out now on Steam! Thanks to Seven Leaf Clover for having me as part of this stellar cast!

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Penny for the guy? This is one of the few monologues I actually have memorized, mostly thanks to my friends being geeks. #voiceactor

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

Hi! I’m D Casellian and I don’t use genAI to write my stupid social media posts. I can be stupid all on my own, thank you. My em dashes- used more frequently than necessary- are 100% organic.

Finally living out my dream of playing a warrior and their grandmother in the same project. Script below 👇 #voiceactor

My first impression was that Fortune should have a high, cackly sound and misery should be deep and moribund. So I swapped the highs and lows, just for kicks. #voiceactor Thanks @abigailcareyvo.bsky.social!

Gave it a shot! #voiceactor #voiceover #vocieacting

In a word, womp womp. “That’s actually two words, D.”

You might not be a kid anymore if finding a superior audio widget for your website leads to a fist-pumping victory dance.

It was such a beautiful day and then the sun came out. 😩

I know I’m wearing the wrong shirt but in my defense I actually don’t have a right shirt for this. #voiceactor #halloween

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Saw someone say they didn’t like KPDH because it should have been live action and I’d like to submit this as Exhibit A that it’s possible to have an objectively wrong opinion.

Boo. 👻 Taking a different vocal style than my usual out for a spin, looking for angles that are less obvious.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Just figuring out how to dress up my emails enough to prove I actually wrote them without crossing the line into being obnoxious.

It’s a mermaids, dinosaurs, talking cats, mad scientists kind of morning. #voiceactor

What’s a pirate’s favorite book series? The Chronicles of NARRRRnia.

(Click to see full size otherwise this makes no sense.) Times are so tough I had to steal the rock from the landscaping of a local restaurant. 🥲

I wrote this script to sound like someone comforting a child. I proceeded to record it as… not that. Call it versatility. 🤪 #voiceactor

I put on Lofi Girl’s “Asian Lofi” playlist this morning for background music. Glancing at the pic, I thought it was Lofi Girl sitting in front of Mt Fuji. But then… “doesn’t Mt Fuji have a flat top?” I check- I’m not misremembering. So where is Lofi Girl? The mystery remains.
