Richard! Erika!

I never got around to finish this show as a kid, but I remember this was a little tough to watch as they'd feature a lot of deaths onscreen (which I can handle as a nine-year old), especially this particular episode of the show.

There's not a lot of stuff about Daimos English dub posted online compared to Voltes V but I did find this article about the voice actor who plays Edward (Richard's BFF) on the show. His name is Steve Lupton.

I was told by my teachers in Spanish that "jersey" in Mexico is closer to how it is said in the US due to its proximity. In contrast, when the word got loaned into Spanish in Spain, the Spanish jota is more prominent.

I've also watched some videos where they said that in Puerto Rico, the term locals use for cereals there is "conflei", taken from cornflakes, which is a particular type of cereal originally sold by Kellogs, a major food company. And then, Spanish speakers who grew up in the US would code-switch for certain concepts where they know a word in English but may not know its equivalent in Spanish, such as "parquear" for parking as opposed to "estacionar".

And of course, there's fútbol. =)

Just asking out of curiosity as someone not from the US. I've been looking at some FCBD-related vlogs on YouTube this week and it's striking to see how very convenient the locations of LCS are to commercial and residential areas and that there's plenty of them in one locality, at least in New York City. Is it the same situation wherever you may be, either anywhere else in the US or elsewhere abroad?

In comparison: Over here in my hometown in the Philippines, the local comic book scene is somewhat dead in a sense that no traditional comic are no longer sold in news stands, corner shops, gas stations and convenience stores unless you count Archie Comics which I still see being sold there (for the time being).

Most likely the only places you can find comics here, local and foreign, would be bookstores and a few dedicated comic book store chains like Comic Odyssey (which also sell single issues with release schedules usually aligned stateside) and you kinda have to travel a bit further from where you live if you wanna buy yourself a comic book.

Thank you. :)

I just saw a TikTok reel of a voice actor who shared a story about a fellow VA who was overseas at a time they were scheduled to voice something for a production. That VA found a studio they can rent for a short time, had the material sent to them, did the recording and then they were done.

I honestly didn't know that is possible, especially in that level of convenience. I'd imagine renting a studio would charge you a high fee.

So yeah, I'm curious if anyone has been in those situations before where, at the very least, there's a place nearby for you to do a recording, or using a phone with a good quality built-in mic is enough for something like a short spiel or something (and sparing unwanted expenses along the way.

Thank you.

I asked a similar question a couple of few years at another sub so I'm curious if there is something similar for here too.

Here's some words I picked up during the past year that I've been working with voice actors:

• >!Pick-up - Picking up where we left off to resume recording.!<
• >!Top - Topping a previous recording with a new one.!<
• >!Demo - Sometimes a demo reel, sometimes an audition piece of an upcoming project featuring proposed voices to be sent to a client for their approval.!<
• >!Reel - Sometimes a demo reel, sometimes a vertical video production.!<
• >!Kapit - A Filipino word where it means "to grab". It's a term I began using during my sessions to describe recurrence of unconsciously highlighting a small space of a track instead of just placing the cursor to where you want to record on ProTools using the mouse.!<
• >!Compress - Reducing the amount of tracks in a session by moving all recorded dialogue upwards to any empty spaces there are available in a track from the top to the bottom. That saves the amount of time exporting them as condensed tracks.!<
• >!Condense - Combining all recorded dialogue in one track into a condensed whole.!<
• >!Process - Applying noise reduction.!<
• >!Audish - Short for audition!<
• >!Curing - Fixing any holes, filling in some lines that didn't get voiced the first time, and applying any mandated changes from the client.!<
• >!Sweeping -Voicing as many minor speaking roles in a project as possible (which I myself sometimes do), only needing to say a word or a phrase, or simply providing additional voices.!<
