Quick spiel because this is something that’s honestly bothered me since starting my voice acting career 😤
This situation reminds me a lot of music. Sometimes an artist experiments with a different sound because they enjoy creating and exploring new sides of their craft. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea ☕️ and that’s completely fine but that doesn’t mean the artist deserves hate for it.
Voice acting works the same way. Trying different tones, energies, and character types is literally part of the job. Something being playful, flirtatious, dramatic, dark, silly, or exaggerated doesn’t suddenly define who someone is as a person. It’s acting!
I actually thought the dub sounded great! And as a fellow VA, it’s genuinely encouraging to see other creators explore different sides of their range. A lot of us already feel nervous about stepping outside the box people expect us to stay in 🫠
What’s frustrating is how comfortable the internet has made people with tearing creators down. It’s easy to say whatever you want when there’s a screen between you and the person you’re talking about. Something I learned from childhood: if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all and honestly that advice still holds up.
Not everything has to be for everyone and that’s okay. But artists experimenting with their craft shouldn’t be something people get attacked for.
Keep doing you Meggie!! It sounded awesome👏 😍✨
Hey friends 💛
I’ve seen some of the reactions to my recent dub, and I just wanted to gently clarify something.
I don’t exclusively voice kid or family-friendly content. While I do love working on wholesome projects, I’ve also voiced, and will continue to voice, more mature SFW material from time to time (flirting, innuendo, violence, cursing, darker themes, etc.).
The animation I dubbed was playful and suggestive, but it wasn’t explicit or NSFW. In fact, that’s probably about as close as I’ll ever personally get to that side of things. Everyone has different tastes, and that’s totally okay, it just wasn’t meant to be shocking or out of character for me.
If you follow or subscribe to me, you may occasionally see content that leans a little more mature. I’ll never voice explicit NSFW material, but I also don’t limit myself strictly to children’s or family-only projects.
If that’s not your vibe, I completely understand. Thanks to those of you who’ve supported me through all the different sides of my work. 💛
