Me: hosts a panel about being healthy with your voice before and during difficult recording sessions

Also me: let's drink a coffee and sing a very vocally taxing song before professionally talking for the next hour

Something, something, do as I say not as I do

Can't forget to thank my tech saviour for all her help, the footage looks great and I can't wait to upload it once I've done some editing~

Thanks Aimee! Appreciate you indulging my voice directions for the panel, you smashed 'em~ And I certainly hope so~

Also! To the TADC fan who came up after the panel, I'm sorry our interaction got cut short, but thank you so much for coming and your Pomni plushie was very cute!

I met some outstanding people at GCAP and Megadev, learned a ton more about the games industry and where people are pursuing their passions and ideas, and then getting to play the demos at PAX was such a delight. I truly do love this weekend, and it's always a little sad to have it end~

Getting to host my own panel was something that's been on my bucket list for a bit, and I could not have asked for better panelists who gave their time and even moved around schedules! To help me put on a great discussion about a niche bit of voice acting that I find both interesting and important

Now that I've had a bit to process this incredible weekend, just wanted to write a little PAX post and say I'm incredibly grateful to the AVO community and the local Melbourne games community for always being so welcoming and fun to spend time getting to know people that love to make and enjoy art~

And that concludes a very vocal PAX Aus! ❤️🎙️

What had you cackling the most at this year’s ‘Who’s Speaking Please’ panel?

What takeaways did you learn from the ‘Sorry, You Peaked’ presentation?

Well done to all the amazing voice actors that took part this year and to everyone who came along!

Hey @paxaus.bsky.social not sure if you can help or not but I've lost a very special pin in the shape of the Sarawak flag from my late father - possibly on the premises on the PAX showfloor (or at least I only noticed it was missing after visiting the floor and returning to my hotel room)

I'm running a panel at @paxaus.bsky.social this year!

@aimeesmithva.com @rsmoushall.bsky.social @edwyntiong.com and Angela Tran will be joining me for 'Sorry, You Peaked: Video Game Barks and Vocal Health' - a discussion on how voice actors navigate a big chunk of how we use our voice in our work.

Ahhhh so happy for you Marissa! Massive congratulations~

I think the worst thing that the official Wendy's account ever did was give CEOs the idea that being sassy online to their userbase is a winning and endearing strategy

Being an international voice talent means getting an audition at 3am when you're asleep and that same audition closing at 8am when you wake up

I had to log onto an old twitter account due to a security issue and one glance at the feed after half a year away was, like, visceral psychic damage

This account didn't teally have a trained algo on me, so it defaulted to just xenophobia, content slop, Nazism, and rage bait
