A little bit about the project...
I'm from a time where voice acting was a huge part of the Homestuck fandom and community. People on Tumblr, YouTube, and other social media sites had so many different dubs of fancomics, fan podcasts, fanfiction, and even Homestuck itself. This made the fandom pretty accessible, and even made the fandom more of a community. The voice acting and sharing of vocal headcanons was something really fun, and something that helped me realize my love for not only acting, but projects in general. Bringing people together and helping them make new friends and a stronger fan community is something so beautiful to me.
As an adult, I've started to lose energy quickly. Being autistic and working a full time job is hard, and makes enjoying my interests after a long day even more difficult. I'll usually draw while I play a video in the background, because reading for a long time is hard. This made me think--what if I could enjoy the Friendsim routes...but with sound? So I wouldn't have to read, and drain even more of what little energy I had? I then remembered my old friends who were visually impaired and who now can't enjoy Friendsim if they please. That's where my quest to bring a fully dubbed and accessible version of Friendsim began.
Now, over a month and several hundred auditions later, we have a beautifully and fully cast team of actors from all over the world, and with all kinds of backgrounds.
Let's live in a world where fandom is not only accessible, but a beautiful and accessible community.

Why I love who I voice: Bronya's route was the first one where we got a real taste of rebellion. Sure, we had gotten characters displeased with the state of Alternia but Bronya was the first character to really do something to try to better the world, albeit in a very subtle, not technically illegal way.
Random fact: I'm writing and directing a musical inspired by Homestuck this spring. It will make you cry.

Why do you love who you voice?
Daraya’s route really struck a cord with me, being young and feeling hopeless in a world that isn’t the greatest, and not knowing what to do with yourself. Her character means a lot to me and I’m really excited to be voicing her!

Why do you love who you voice?: I was high-key into WWE for a while, because my dad watched it as a kid and he wanted to share how fucking ridiculous it was with me and my siblings. Playing Nihkee's route made me remember watching old matches with my family and commentating on the match as wildly as humanly possible. Also, Nihkee's smile in the good ending is just so wholesome and beautiful <3

Pronouns: he/him
Why do you love who you voice? Where do I begin? Aside from the obvious reason of Skylla's role as a strong, rustic female character who could probably incapacitate me just by looking at me the right way, there are so many little details in her route that give me warm and fuzzy Southern boy feelings. Being raised in the South as a queer transman hasn't always been the best, but I feel like Skylla represents a lot of the Southern attitudes I still love--a good ol' down-home lifestyle, warm food and warmer hospitality, self-reliance, and a whole lot of pluck.
Random fact about you: I once broke my nose doing the Naruto run. I have no regrets.
