Plushies are an integral part of the actor's artistic process. 🧸🎙️

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

Absolutely! Bert and Fozzie or Robin and Gobo are some other great examples of this sort of thing. ❤️

Taylor Fernandez @taylorsconfused.bsky.social · 12h

Which then made sense, because that character I played who “had a Muppet-y voice” was greatly inspired by Muppet performer Jerry Nelson, who plays far more than “just a couple” Muppets. 🤣

It’s fascinating to me how iconic these performer’s *ranges* are, not just their individual characters.

old Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, etc., the voices of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Richard Hunt, etc. are EVERYWHERE, from lead characters to one-line extras, so I think their vocal qualities and ranges are associated with Muppets a lot, logically.

I was actually thinking about this myself after a friend said I gave a character a “Muppet-y voice,” and thought a bit about what that meant.

If we’re speaking *purely* on vocal quality, I think a lot of it also has to do with the fact that when you’re watching the original Muppet Show, (cont.)

Animation audition today and I had a stray thought: "Your voice is getting Muppet-y here," and I had to reflect on that after because it felt like it might conceal an important insight. So what do I think it means to have a Muppet-y voice?

Hey Voice Actors!!

Once upon a time the community was fairly easy to find on twitter, but it's getting harder to keep track of all the VAs I know across social media, so I'm finally making my own (long overdue) private roster for clients that like to cast through demo reels!

hi hi #PortfolioDay, i'm polly. i'm a 2d illustrator in indie game dev, zines & animation.

i work full-time in games/tech marketing but i'm always on the lookout for projects that cater to my affinity with horror, gore, and monster (girl).

Whenever indie devs use AI, it hurts their sales potential and retention because it’s a 🚩red flag for generalized unprofessionalism and cut corners.

Getting real art from a pro will make you look like a pro.

Teeg @teeketch.art · 1d

If you're a solo dev/small indie team looking for art or logos please don't turn to genAI. I would honestly rather folks reach out to a designer and offer like rev share alongside a smaller up front cost to get something made by a person.

Hell email me and we'll chat. Don't turn to the slop machine

It's October!

If you've never played "Undergrowth" and are in the mood for some mystery/found family/psychological horror goodness... The demo's free, runs 4-5 hours, and is slated to be save-data-compatible with the 3.0 version launching next year!

Jett Barker @jettbarker.bsky.social · Jun 30

✨ 2.1 UPDATE! 🍄

Extremely pleased to announce that v2.1 of "Undergrowth" is OUT NOW! It massively optimizes content added in its 1.0 demo and implements some deceptively major back-end QoL fixes! We've also got a trailer… 👀

As before, the game demo is available for FREE @ azufx.itch.io/undergrowth
