Video Games, Voice Acting, and Rush


 Another exciting post from yours truly, Shty.


First off, I bought Gears of War 3 and I'd give it a 3/5. NOW WAIT! I only give it that rating because of how easy the game is on Normal mode (I beat it in 11 hours total. I don't know about you but when I was growing up 'Normal' would be unbelievably tough and then you remember theres a hard mode and you then promptly say "Fuck"). Another thing, it doesn't really answer a whole lot of questions by the end of the game :( Although I hear there is going to be an expansion to tie up loose ends, thats bullshit. It's the ending trilogy of a fantastic series and you ruin it by forcing me to get the expansion? How Dare Ye.


......But, I started a new file on hardcore mode so Fuck me and my hypocrisy. So onto actual news in my life.


This past week I have been working on some more voices for my "final exam" given to me by my voice coach and it's coming along swimmingly. I need about 15-20 things that I can make a voice up for and I couldn't be happier with the assignment.

                                                       - Fisthead News -                                                           

Sean and I are going up to New York in the next couple weeks to have a sit-down read of the completed script of the pilot episode for Fisthead with the good people of Duart Studios. So again, have faith in our dedication to the show, We are definitely making more.

And a week after that, I'll be making another trek back to New York for Comic-Con, October 15th(Saturday)....A business trip.... Go up there and pay 800$ to see them in person and then pay an extra 500$ and get some ink scribbled on an index card. Fuck yeah, paying people to see them alive!

Yo gimme dat Cheeseburger real quick.

Aside from complaining about almost everything I also like to give actual information. I had a meeting with Sean about the new animation he is working on in which I have a few voice roles, along with the main character. Very pleased with the way the scratch recordings came out (very funny stuff).

 This is what I like to call Mega Pope:

"When the beloved Pope passes away on the same day as Jesus Christs brain is found. And so through the most logical solution possible, the brain is implanted into the body of the Pope in order to create the most efficient and holy figure head in all of existence. But the bible never explained that Jesus was bat shit crazy."



"Heres a pic of the main character from Seans Blog"


Thats all for this week and gimme some feedback if you please. Thanks Faggot, stay tuned.


 Listening to:
The Trees by Rush. Off the masterpiece known as Hemispheres. Enjoy.

Hey my name is Matthew White and this is my first entry.


I have been lazy for a long while and not creating a blog (that's free on top of that), but I finally have one started. I'll try to keep the updates within a week if not two weeks from each other. 


So! As you can see from my profile I am an aspiring Voice Actor and looking forward to getting into the business as far as it will take me. I have been taking classes from my current teacher, Joann Joella, for about a month now and she has helped me immensely. She has helped me record a demo for the New Jersey Lottery that was due to record on September 12 but I did not receive the role. It's still a resume, so it's all good. Also I am in the midst of of having my Commercial Demo mixed in the studio as of right now and should be out within the next two weeks. 


I had been casted by a friend, Sean Glaze, who created an animation and asked me to voice two of the characters and help write some jokes for his junior thesis.


                                                                This is Fisthead


I voice both Fisthead and the PiƱata.


After about a month or so of it being the Youtube, the video had received a considerable amount of views and a studio by the name of Duart in New York had contacted us asking to meet and want to help us with the recording in the future. There is definitely more Fisthead to come so please just bear with us haha.


This is Sean's blog page. Check it out he's got some great information on there:
