Revamped my accent reel and added a non-flash demos page, complete with a few production demos for those of you who'd like to hear that aspect of my talent. You can check it out here, as well as at the link at the bottom of the demo reels and music pages. Definitely check out my accent reel though. Added some lines, took some away...

Whoop! Little update here. A few days ago I updated my demo reels (all FOUR of them!) and posted them on my demo reel page. For those of you who don't have flash (or are viewing from mobile, as I often do), I'll be making a separate page with direct links to each file soon, as well as for the music page.

Business with solidStudios is running kind of slow at the moment, but once we've got a collective project going, we'll pick up speed. And remember, we are ALWAYS looking for new and eager talent!

The "Golden Sun" project I talked about possibly taking the reigns for has resumed production at the hands of it's original producer, and I landed the roles of "Saturos" and "Lord McCoy." You can hear a line from my "Saturos" audition in my new accent reel, on the demo reels page.

Huge update, not so huge details. SOLIDER Productions has become bigger than just myself. I've dissolved it into solidStudios, which consists of all the talented actors, writers, producers, composers and graphic designers I can convince to join. If you have a talent and would like to use it to help out with solidStudios, register at our forum, and make yourself known in the application thread of the public forum. I do most of my work there, so I'll notice you in less than a day of your having applied. We're working towards becoming an actual company with real, paying customers, so jump on now, while we're still amateur.

Hey guys, River here. MGA is struggling to crawl towards our first chapter release, but one of our actors didn't confirm for the fairly vital main role of "Roger McCoy." If you're capable of a lower, older male voice and are willing to voice a main character for the entirety of the series, or know a VA who is, please go/direct him here. We finally found a "Minette," but are still in need of a young, British "Alice," so again, go to the previous link if you're capable. Your help is much appreciated.

I added a link to a fairly decent Halo 3 machinima I had forgotten to add to my resume, called "Unexpected," by Taylor Eby and Angsty Studios. I hadn't seen any of it until last night, and it's pretty well done, so good job Angsty. It's no secret that I don't prefer machinima, especially the woefully overdone "Red Vs. Blue" clone failures. I, sadly, am in several of them. However, at this point, I don't even audition for something with "machinima" in the description. I stopped doing Sims 3 machinimas after just two or three projects. I am in close contact with three different machinima directors who frequently scout me for their projects. If work is light at the moment, I usually take the role; experience is experience. But, now that I'm producing three different audio dramas, I will probably be holding on any further machinima scoutings. Hopefully when I'm done, we'll have found something else to play with other than Halo 3.

This summer's busy schedule is picking up speed pretty quick. I've announced and begun casting an audio drama version of Shinta Nojiri's "Metal Gear Ac!D" game for PSP. I think the story was very original, and though not canonically a follow-up to "Ghost Babel," I think it did an excellent job of following in it's footsteps, and I intend to do just that with my audio drama.

Not sure whether I will continue in the future with MGA2, as I didn't feel it lived up to the series story-wise, even though the game itself was fantastic.

This does not mean I'm done with "Ghost Babel" or "Red Car/Green Car." I realize we've still got a pretty fair ways to go, and I intend to finish them both. There's a lot of sitting down and brainstorming that needs to be done for both series. Also, you'll notice on my resume and production page that I've removed "Link and Ganon Get a Job," as well as the other tentative projects. I have not heard back from my collaborators on these projects in some time, and so am moving on with my own work.

On top of all this, I had recently auditioned for a fairly high-profile "Golden Sun" audio drama adaptation, but as it turns out, the producer is in the process of stepping down, right near the end of casting. He claimed he had people in mind to hand it over to, but they don't seem to be too interested in taking over. I have offered my services as a producer to take over the project myself. Here's hoping I get the part, and stick to timely production as well.

Aaaaaaand I auditioned for two live action projects this morning; one a film, and one another webseries.

Keep your fingers crossed.
