I hope and PRAY that I will be able to get a part on this or a future Transformers series/movie. It would be a lifelong dream come true! Heck, I would even be thrilled to voice a TOY or a TF commercial!!! Transformers is the major reason why I got into voice acting as a career. I have done a lot of Transformers fan stuff and chatted with some of the original voice actors like Rob Paulsen (First Aid) and Paul Eiding (Perceptor). The funny thing is, no matter how many cartoon voice actors I run into and have conversations with, they are all MORE interested in my career in MOVIE trailers than what THEY do! Apparently there is more job security in movie trailers and tv/movie promo work than animation. Phil LaMarr (TFA Jazz) and Kevin Michael Richardson (TFA Omega Supreme and TF Prime Bulkhead) both told me that they live from one series to the next just hoping they have something booked before the show they are currently working on ends. I never thought of it that way. But they also both have on-screen work as well. I don't know if I wanna get in FRONT of a camera or not. STILL, I'm 80% pleased with the Transformers: Prime series' voice cast. I would just love to book a recurring character and be IN THE STUDIO with my two favorite and biggest voiceover HEREOS Frank Welker and Peter Cullen. That would be my "Make a Wish" if I were terminally ill or something. On the bright side, I'm very close to getting into the Screen Actors Guild which will allow me to audition and book characters on shows for Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and the like! They don't hire non-union voice actors for network cartoon series'. So wish me luck! I may be spending a lot more time in LA!
I still have to let Ratchet and Starscream grow on me. Love the animation, not in love with the voices. Hate me if you will.
