Then you love me! My last name is Irish (I think they immigrated during the Potato Famine) and my mother is Cuban...and I live in America, so I am multicultured!! Lol...but I have southern words and phrases. Like "bound to fess up". Katara and Zuko are bound to fess up their feelings one day! Lol...

PIXAR!!! you were the one who said you were interested in VAing, right? That's me! =D I gots a little bit of advice. GET TRAINING - trust me (as an actress) when I say that casting directors basically think you're useless without training. Also, practice articulation (what I do sometimes is read scenes from my mangas or transcripts from TV shows, but that's just me).

hi guys^_^. i'm back. that story sound weird, paraiba. glad i never saw that summary. hehe i know a little of a couple different languages... Oh honey this was the story: "I love you, Katara." "I love you too. Oh so much, Aang." *stabs out eyes* "We'll raise the baby together!" *dies* WTF is that? I wanted to leave a rude review, but I'm restraining myself...lol.

Yeah...it was. I mean seriously, Katara and Aang are not going to be concieving children at the ages of 16 and 14. I doubt they'll even consider doing it. I'm going to need psychiatric help now...

Lol...I barely made it past the first word...ho hum. Anyway...I'm reading a Zutara fanfic that isn't all high school and stuff. (Which totally kills the story...we should add that to rules!)

Lol...I like being smart...it's oh so much fun. Especially when you use big words to confuse people (I do that at school all the time), which is pretty hard considering I'm from the South. Or Spanish! I love using Spanish to confuse people. They are all like WTF? Hee hee... Edit: *runs around like crazy* OMFG! MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!! RETNA BURNS!!! I'M BLINDER THAN TOPH! *runs into wall* Owie...I just saw a fanfic summary that said Katara was pregnant with AANG'S BABY!! No amount of therapy can recover me from this trauma. *screams* AHHH! It burns!!! *sporks eyes out*

Also, practice articulation (what I do sometimes is read scenes from my mangas or transcripts from TV shows, but that's just me). Thank you so much! Any ideas on where i can get training? What I usually do (seeing as i prefer to do voice acting) is read scenes from my favourite books and try out voices for them. i usually don't make them totally different from my own, I usually make them higher, lower, sound younger or older.

Also, practice articulation (what I do sometimes is read scenes from my mangas or transcripts from TV shows, but that's just me). That's very good advice, RisingStar! Voice Actors really have a competitive business so it really helps if you start out small. When you go to an audition there are tons of people who are more experienced than one and some who even hire Talent Agents to reserve them a comfortable spot in the tryouts. To succeed in this business try to volunteer at you local community radio station or if that's too much of a burden simply try to rehearse some of the lines your favorite characters in your favorite shows say! Gain experience by taking choir lessons to help project your voice and it does help if you can do various voices such as little kids, witches, old people, or even animals! And most importantly, practice having a "dry mouth." Most people don't like saying this out loud by saliva really prevents you from saying your lines in one piece. Most people chew green apples, drink Wine if their over 18, or even use napkins to dry off their mouth so that they won't have to stop and wash it off with water every once in a while!
