My Life is Good

(This is a quick update on me for the reading pleasure of Janet and some of the other Autistry Studios teachers. )

Hello Autistry Studios! I am now comfortably in my third week of high school. Really? Three weeks? oy…

Things are, as anticipated, different. But so far 90% of the changes are gladly welcomed. Mostly, I’m happy that people leave me to my own business instead of having someone screaming at me every time I turn the corner because they think it’s funny. Now that I’m at a new school, and not to mention older and wiser, I’ve been able to find a few “people”.

I’m still doing a bit of editing, but mostly I waste my free time on YouTube. Luckily for those who enjoy my work, I was inspired by a certain video that I just stumbled across. Now I’m determined to put my heart and soul into this next one I’m making. I showed my mom what I have so far, and her reaction was: “I hate the music, I’m sick of this ‘Fruits Basket’ crap, but your editing is phenomenal.”

I took it as a compliment.

As for my voice-acting, I continue to work myself into a nervous gelatinous wreck. Recently I received a call-back for a part I tried out for on YouTube during the summer. It’s an unofficial radio-play called “Project: Athena”. Of course, since I have little social engagements, I replied in a matter of hours after the call-backs were posted. I personally thought I nailed the emotion, but my pronunciation needs work and I am in desperate need of a new microphone.A friend of mine also made my day this week, saying she looked up to me and thought I was a good actress.

There isn’t much going on right now, but I’m really looking forward to the upcoming new Autistry Studios session. (There is one, right?)

Best wishes!
