My dude left some birria after our party so it's quesadilla tiiiiiiime

Less than 24 hours from now, I'll be on a flight to my first adventure in LA. Definitely nervous, but I'm all the more excited to do more of what scares me. This year's been all about big moves in my VO journey, and this is my biggest to date. Get ready for me, Los Angeles.

Saw the Mercer Labs × One Piece exhibit over the weekend! Best part was just the sheer amount of people getting hyped over Wano in such an immersive setting. Anime bringing people together is some of the best vibes 😎

My nails are almost always two colors and anime-themed, this time it's digimon

I finally got to meet @socassandra.bsky.social in person at Derpycon! Learning from her about auditions, networking and a positive mindset has been so invaluable to my VO moves and I'll always be grateful to her for that! (Shoutout to @jensilvo.bsky.social again for a dope little road trip too!)

WE OUT HERE WITH AN AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!! So so SO excited to announce that I've been repped by @AccessTalentVO in the northeast!!! Roger and Alyssa have been incredible collaborators thus far, and I'm so excited for what comes next.

Ten games to get to know me! (Can it be 50 next time, this was so hard)

LA I WILL BE IN YOOOOOOOU!!!!!! I'm visiting Los Angeles during the first week of December. So excited to get out there for the first time to explore, learn more about the scene out there, and most importantly meet EVERYONE!!!! If you're there or are gonna be, hmu!!

Warming up for a 3 hour session today, wish me luck

Three years since we lost you, but I'm never without you. Now more than ever, I'm building a life of love and laughter, expanding my world and forging connections with incredible people, all in the ways you taught me. I'll keep making you proud, Mom. Love you.

Ado concert was incredible. She had an amazing speech about being in a small room working every day to make her dreams a reality. I'm gonna do that too.

After a crazy busy day, headed out to Newark with the homies to see Ado!!!!!

Been up and at em since 6am, the VO train never stops 😎

This was a blast. I swear. So much of my time this summer was getting in touch with myself as the fun-loving performer I am ,and @benbevoicing.com is a tour de force for fun. Thanks again to @redscythe.com

Lawn guys were at it for THREE HOURS today so I meal prepped this morning

My Honey baby passed away this morning. She gave us all the love and happiness she had for 14 years. I hope she knew how much we will always love her back. Hold your furry friends extra close, you guys. Let them know every day how happy you are to have them in your life.

Had some leftover brisket, and decided to grill a cheese with it 😋

Some light afternoon reading 😊

Been a rough couple days. Couple rejections, PC troubles, and one of my doggos is under the weather. Today things are finally getting back to normal, and I can get back to doing what I love. We Continue.

I came out of the theater beaming from ear to ear. This is the best time I've had with a Superman thing in a while 🥹

📺COMMERCIAL DEMO!!!📺 I'm Alister Cado! I'm a NY-based, fully remote capable voice actor who's ready to bring your project to life right after these messages. Let's make some awesome stuff together!!! Produced/directed by: @scarygoodstudio.bsky.social

Getting to meet all my VO homies in person has been my favorite thing all year. Finally got to sit down and geek out with @jonnalynnalonso.com!!

Remember that voice acting isn't simply doing a funny or different voice. It's knowing your truth, finding an interpretation of a character's truth, and seeing how the two align. First and foremost, you've gotta know and own YOUR truth. Hope you can find that this week.

I've officially lost 50 pounds. Progress towards the things you want in life is never a straight line. It's paved with effort and consistency. Stick with it long enough and you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish. "You gotta do it every day...but it gets better."

Between workshops and auditions and recordings I have been more productive than usual this week, prolly the heat stroke getting to me

I'm in such a mood to cook againnnnn

Day 4 of good eats: No plans or going out today, just some nice home cooking. Stuff moves really fast. It's always important to take a step back whenever you can. Stay safe and stay you out there y'all

You've encountered the final boss of targeted anime apparel ads

Day 3 Eats: New hamburg steak place in Jersey!!

Just realized I accidentally planned an entire weekend of good eatin' Day 2: My favorite bowl of ramen in NYC

The best time for KBBQ is all the time 😋

I'm so pumped for this oneeeee

Having a skincare routine adds +5 to all my stats, highly recommend

Some of the best decisions I ever made started with this phrase, and now I have the shirt to prove it Art by @ciderhoots.bsky.social!

Sick update 🥲

✨️ 🏳️‍🌈 IT'S PRIDE MONTH EVERYBODY!!!!! 🏳️‍🌈✨️ Mine is and has always been a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community. Now more than ever, we've got to live and love as we are, and know that your presence makes the world brighter.

Stuffing in one more con this month!!

Starbucks has picked out a lot of typos over the years, but this is my favorite so far

I collect mugs, and this is one of my newest and faves

What's a good way to put "was featured in Bang Zoom's insta story" on my resume 🥹

This is my favorite souvenir from the trip. These pages are filled with signatures. From established pros, friends I made online & at the con. So grateful to everyone I've met on this journey, and that I finally got to meet and hug at least some of them. Can't wait to fill it more 😊

Also got to lend my voice to this awesome animated short! Really channeled the passion behind my tennis-loving aunties (they ADORED Federer). AND I'm in this with the one and only @loganraposo.bsky.social! TWO projects with one of the coolest people I know in two days, who could ask for more???

Thanks again to @jtvoiceover.com for this incredibly intense shot of me during my Bang Zoom audition! As actors, our mission is to bring the character on the page to life as best we can. Unless we book, the time we have to do that can be so little. That's why we have to give them everything.

Finally settled back into work after ACEN, and can't think of a better way to kick things off than with a lil ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! ✨ You can hear me as Hades and Tadakatsu in the adorable new idle RPG Rise Of Kittens! Thanks so much to @vikramrajan.bsky.social for having me on!

One of the best weekends ever. Here's my performances at the @BangZoom open auditions! To have gotten a callback on my first try and be cheered on by so many loving friends made my heart so incredibly full. Thank you all for supporting me. This train is never going to stop.

Road to ACEN begins!!!!

I'm nervous but also excited. This'll be the first time I've taken such a huge shot at the dream, and taking such a journey to get there. But I'm packed, I'm ready, and I cannot wait. This week's gonna be amazing.

I'm taking playlist and podcast suggestions for when I hit the road tomorrow, drop em!!

Started packing for ACEN ✌️
