2021: A Look Forward (Please Read!)
Hey, everyone. Wow, it has been four years since I last wrote a journal. I will admit I am not much into the department on keeping up to date in this department, but as we are nearing the end of what was an unarguably crazy year, I felt like I want to write in one for the occasion.
I haven’t been as active here as I used to be, and while I could easily write it off as laziness, much of life has been keeping me occupied as I have been shifting my focus from digital art into other fields. Especially in the voiceover business. This year I have been quite active in that department, and it feels like the time has come to push the envelope in the coming year.
But I don’t want to keep anybody here in the dark on it, either. I have been increasingly active on my social media under a new name so I can share my creations and what-goings-on with everyone. And yes, it will include some of my digital art, for I haven’t abandoned that hobby. I just won’t put too much a focus on commissions for art, because let’s face it, I don’t get enough of those as it is.
Anyway, please be sure to follow me in the following:
Twitter: @NeilPVoiceover (Especially follow me here for updates on every goings on with YouTube, Twitch and other happenings)
Instagram: NeilP_Voiceover
YouTube: NeilP Voiceover
Twitch: NeilP_Voiceover (Planned game streaming coming soon. Starting small, but if people are enjoying the streams I will plan on building up on it.)
As I am marching on into the next year with high hopes to expand my horizons, I hope you all will still be there on the journey. I will try to post some content here and there in this site, but really, you are missing out on much more if you are not following along. Your support will be greatly appreciated. Now let’s move on into 2021. Onward to awesomeness!
Now on YouTube, I compiled the best of my favorite intro and outro bits of 2015. Follow the link to watch on my YT channel:

Now, if the year has not already been a noticeable trend, I haven't and forthwith may not be drawing stuff all that much. That is because I have finally made my efforts to put my voice over career front and center. Not only has my involvement with the weekly podcast, Nerding Out About, kept me behind the mic more often, I have now joined a new community that will help me focus and develop my craft.
I am now on behindthevoiceactors.com. For those unfamiliar, it is not only a place that archives voice actors, shows and characters with audio clips for referencing (like IMDB, but for voice actors), but it is also a casting call for talent to jump in for posted projects in need of talent. Last weekend I joined and immediately got to work putting out submissions. It hasn't been a week and I already got a cast for one project, and hopefully it will just be the beginning.
You can check out my profile here:

This page has the audition clips I submitted for various projects. You can even listen to some of the clips available to the public:

I am going to do my best to put out some artwork here and there. In fact, I got a Christmas Card coming up for this year. Can't break from that tradition...
Also, when completed projects become available online, I will link them in a journal or submission so you can see (and hear) what I have been up to.
So that's about it. Hope you all have a great holiday season and will be looking forward to a great 2016 as much as I am!
