    Damn dude… this guy was literally my inspiration for getting into voice acting. I’m not a professional by any means, but if I had never played DD and heard him doing his thing, it would have never even occurred to me to start using my own voice for VO or cartoons.

      How does one get into that?

      People have been telling me that I have “a voice for radio” ever since I was a teenager, but I’ve never really been into show biz, I’ve been fixing computers and cars my whole life. I’ve been considering just recording a long portfolio of a bunch of different voices and start sending it off to random companies but I can’t help feeling like that’s not my best move.

    Heartbreaking. I’d listen to this guy’s readings of H.P. Lovecraft while I was working. RIP.

      Aw man what a horrible way to learn this is a thing. But thanks for mentioning, I will prolly do the same tomorrow.

        You say it’s a horrible way to learn that this is a thing, but I actually find it weirdly sweet how when someone dies, people who care about the deceased or their work jump to share stories of how they had been impacted. It reminds me of birthdays; I have friends who I don’t speak to much, but their birthday prompts me to reach out and say “hey! I’m glad you exist”
