In this world of realistic animation, high tech video games, and so much more, voice actors are becoming a lucrative commodity. That is, if you are able to get your foot in the door. More than likely, you will never be a household name, but if you're doing it for the right reasons like David Kaye is, that's not going to make any difference. A few months ago, I was able to chat with David about being a successful voice actor (just look at his credits if you don't believe the "successful" part), and he was forthcoming about a variety of things including how he became a voice actor, what some of his memorable experienes have been, and a bit about what he sees for his future. RH: Why did you decide to become an actor? DK: {laughs} I didn't. …show more content…
I've now interviewed over a hundred people in the business {more now}. In addition to your voice work, you have done some on-screen work, isn't that right? Yeah, I started showing up in Vancouver TV series in the early '90's. I was able to audition for different series up there. Stargate and X-Files. That was quite exciting to be a part of that whole thing. I got to work with Gillian Anderson amongst others. And I got to know a couple of the directors quite well and did a voiceover for their X-Files Christmas party one year as a favor, and they threw me a little role as a doctor, and I was horrendous! {laughs} It was really sweet of them, and I was always thankful for any role I was given on …show more content…
It has to be all as real as possible. It's easy in video games to get too much angst and over-acty. But the more real you are, the better. I think that's why they do a lot of mo-cap. You're acting is seen, and you want it as real as you possibly can get. And it's better because that's where this whole thing is headed is virtual reality. Cartoons--you can still have a lot of fun being cartoony. There are cartoons that are not cartoony, but video games, the more real they are, the better, and the fan appreciates that. At one time, it was just a series of "Ooh! Ee! Ah! Ooh! Ah! Ee!" And that was
The Entertainment Industry is an expanding industry with numerous career opportunities especially for the quick learning students in today’s world. I chose to study the entertainment industry because I have always had a passion for it. I grew up with music always playing on the radio and if the radio was off, the television was tuned into some show. I know many people listen to music and watch television all the time, but there is so much more to this industry. Being so passionate has led me to studying specific things in the industry and learning the ins and outs of it, which is helping me to find a potential career. There are many people in the industry that I look up to and one person, who has made it in particular, is Debra Rathwell.

I've always wanted to be an actor. I've always liked performing. We used to live in Alberta, and I didn't have much opportunity there. But we moved here {Vancouver, BC}, and I got an agent, and here I am.

In pages 20-24 of Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World, I agree that there are many different video games. For me, I am a fan of single-player games with story modes because I can play by myself and go at a pace that suits me. However, I enjoy playing online multiplayer when I have friends I can play with because it is fun interacting with friends and doing stuff together. I play on a console or my computer, but I have played on my phone and a hand-held device. I have not played a board game or card game in a while, but I would play it if the opportunity presents itself. The video games genres I play are sports, action, and adventure. I agree with Jane McGonigal that video games share four defining traits,

Some even actively engage using speech as well. Video games are now so completely realistic, that it is hard to tell whether you are witnessing live actions or actually participating in them - the fine line between reality and fantasy has become completely indistinguishable. Countless studies have shown that participating and witnessing this behavior in games corresponds to more aggressive behavior in life and a lack of empathy for the actual suffering of humanity. Participating in video game play may seem real, but like the cave prisoners, this interaction is nothing but an illusion. Video game play is precisely graphic trickery and as Plato writes it “was all a cheat and an illusion.” (paragraph 15)
Has anyone ever thought about the people who produce video games and television shows? In all fairness, those who have made these forms of entertainment have far greater imaginations than those who disapprove of their purpose. Producers have indeed captured the minds of America’s youth and allowed children to exercise their imaginations in fantasy worlds. They do not intend to deprive children of their personal imaginations, but the intention is to expand their minds beyond what they see everyday, and beyond the common feelings they encounter in life by making them into something abnormal to the world even though what children believe is not and may never be real.
Met Sage Thompson a sassy sarcastic normal 17 year old that has been through a lot within a little bit of time. Sage is always outgoing. She is never afraid to speak her mind, and will never back down from a fight; her favorite line to say to anything and everything is “Fight me” although she’s a 5’3 girl. But Sage is always friendly unless you gave her a reason not to be. Although she’s tough; she’s also the kind of girl that if you yell at her she will want to go hide and cry.

Last year, as a result of a crowdfunding project in which I was involved, an actress was brought to my attention whose career has been steadily on the ascent. While this gifted lady may not be a household name as of yet, I believe it is only a matter of time before that changes. I am talking about none other than Nicole G. Leier (pronounced LEE-er). Shortly after her recent relocation to L.A., I had a chance to chat with her about life, the acting profession, and of course, her upcoming works.
The CBC short story award winning Enigma by Canadian writer David Huebert displays many memories. Memories that have significance to the author, memories that shift throughout the text, and memories that express emotion. The memories that have significance to Huebert are the family relations interests, and experiences. The memories shift to a more idealized memory for most people. The emotion appeals to the reader through relatability.
Bestselling author, Og Mandino, once said, “Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats” (“Career Quotes”). In life, not everything will be smooth sailing. Some things are hard to accomplish. People may need to struggle a bit before they finally achieve their goal. An example of this is in careers. A person may not get his most desired job right off the bat. He may have to work for it. One particular job this especially pertains to is the TV and Film industry. Many people starting off in the business find it hard to get their foot in the door. The TV and Film industry is considered hard to break into because getting a job is about knowing people in the business, not everyone has equal chances of getting a job, and people’s expectations are high.
...ct violent video games to have a greater effect than violent television, and most of the reasons why one would expect them to have a lesser effect are no longer true because violent video games have become so realistic, particularly since the late 1990s. Controlling an avatar during video games has a much larger influence on the audience’s behavior, thoughts, and beliefs than that of a movie. Children grow up killing others in video games, seeing it in a movie doesn’t have nearly as large of a impact on them as its does when they do it in a video game. Since video games are interactive and you’re fully engaged in the game, it has a larger impact on people as opposed to simply watching a movie. While most parents (88%) report regularly supervising their children's use of television, only about half report regularly supervising their children's use of video games.
