[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6875946, member: 9789"] Ah, thanks - yeah I figured there was a "catch," or anyone would be doing it. So these are characters (personas) that are playing D&D: like talk show personas, they build up a character (which is basically themselves but bigger) and work hard to maintain that character and engage their audience. Yeah who wants to do all that. :) That makes a lot more sense as well. I did a teeny tiny amount of voice acting back in the day (mostly because I was dating someone in the scene and the producers took pity on me because I was a subject matter enthusiast, I'm pretty sure). We went to a con where the material was premiered and I remember scores of fans always asking: how do I break into voice acting! What is the trick - how do I make a good demo, etc. But the trick is that in order to be a good voice actor, you just have to be a good [i]actor[/i]. A good actor can work in lots of different mediums: I'm sure that "professional gaming" is yet another one. [/QUOTE]
