Me: comments on a black mesa addon page Me two years later: recognized by the community as Otis Voice acting is a fun hobby, and it really doesn't take that much to get into. You've just gotta put yourself out there and practice :)

Do voices by yourself when you can! Practice. Study other voice actors. Get to know them. Get to the point where you know who 'Troy Baker' and 'Kevin Conroy' are. Their methods are just putting yourself in the shoes of someone else and expressing facial expressions and movement through voice only.

Not even slightly lol. Otis's accent is based on Minnesota, which I stayed in for about a month. That was a good learning point.
