/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

That could be, but I also have to say as someone who has done it in VO roles that it is a lot of fun to play a villain because you get away with chewing a lot more scenery and your character is either so broadly-written that you can have fun with the broad choices or so complex that you have make a lot of fun with the details. And I know I personally have never played a role in between. I don't know that the former really requires empathy, but you can still be hated for your roles when you play the former all the time.

I imagine at her level, which I was nowhere near, she got to have fun playing the complex villain whenever she wanted after that Oscar. And if I had her talent, I would too.

Won't ask about roles or anything, but can you say what your favorite character was? Like, in a non identifying way?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I got to do a sort of evil business guy monster character for a game and I got to do a heavy Brooklyn accent, which is my favorite accent to do, so I really enjoyed that.

That sounds awesome! I'm glad you get to do work you enjoy. It sounds like a fun career, from the outside anyway. I'm sure it has its downsides.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Former career. The biggest downside is that it's really hard to get steady work. But yeah, it was lots of fun.
