Sorry if you've already answered this before, but what's the best way for us fans to support the show and crew?

be vocal on social media. Let Cartoon Network know on instagram, youtube, twitter and facebook how much you want merch, which I’ve heard is looking more likely by the day.

Sorry if you've already answered this-! I would love to know more of the original story of the Nutcracker, but I don't know what I should read/watch to get an idea of it! Do you have any recommendations? Also, another question if you don't mind, what made you create these designs? Like, why did you decide to draw these characters in the first place? I love their designs so much, they're very cute and seeing you happy over them just makes seeing your art of them even better! Keep it up!

If you’re feeling up to some reading, you should try finding a (e-)book with the original story by E.T.A. Hoffmann. I also advise to watch The Nutcracker Prince movie. It’s not the same story as the original, but it’s the closest as event-wise. Also it’s very charming. You should also try checkin out the Ballet... but can’t say much about it since I need to do that myself.

As for my designs... well, one day I managed to find The Nutcracker Prince movie again after many years that I didn’t watched it. And just like that, one day I doodled my own versions of the Nutcracker, Clara and the Mouse King for fun. And, well, that lit the spark.

Hello there! I'm sorry if you've answered something like this before, but I'm 18 and going to be (hopefully) going to college this year and I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life (maybe something with the arts and gaming since I love drawing? But I'm not entirely sure and feel kind of hopeless...) So I wanted to ask, have you ever felt kind of lost or hopeless a bit when going into the field of voice acting, and when did you decide that this is what you wanted to do?

I can count at least 3 separate occasions over the course of my career where I seriously, legitimately doubted whether I was entering the right field for me - where I couldn’t really determine if I was simply hitting a wall that I needed to get over, or if I was only adamant on sticking to voiceover because at that point it was the only thing I had to my name and dropping it meant becoming a “nobody” who just plays videogames all the time.

Having friends I could talk to during these moments helped me feel less alone; having my mentor to voice my worries to helped immensely with hearing a voice besides my own. Perhaps ironically, deliberately keeping myself busy (with more voiceover roles, especially during my amateur years) helped to prevent me from dwelling for too long on those feelings of self-doubt, and challenged me either put up or shut up rather than spend more time complaining than doing.

In the end, I could never separate myself from this craft, because there was always something about it that caught my interest. For all the times I wanted to insult myself over a sub-par performance, there was that next project - that next character - that spurred me on, because “God, I want to voice them”. There were so many times when I knew in my head exactly how I wanted a character to sound, but couldn’t quite get the same result to come out vocally; that frustration drove me to continue until I could rather than simply quit.

I wish I could give you a catch-all piece of advice to help determine what path is best for you, but life doesn’t work that way. What I can do, though, is say this: if you find yourself unable to keep away from a certain hobby or profession, no matter how much it frustrates you, no matter how doubtful you may get at times… if your response to a negative outcome is to push yourself even harder and think “I’m better than this” rather than waving it off and deciding you didn’t care all that much anyway… then keep pursuing it.

If you enjoy it, keep pursuing it. If you power through the bad moments (and there will be plenty of them) because the good times feel incredible, keep pursuing it. But perhaps most importantly, try and view roadblocks as a chance to improve and refine your talents instead of immediately accepting them as a sign of failure. I came extremely close to quitting my job at Disneyland in the middle of training because it felt like I was way in over my head in terms of what was being demanded, but almost immediately after I convinced myself to stick through it to the end, the pieces ‘clicked’ together and I made massive strides forward in my comprehension of the job’s process in a short period of time

There are still times - even today - where I worry about if I might be falling back or ‘coasting’ instead of actively making sure my acting is on a path of constant improvement, but having confidence that I am capable in the meantime goes a long way to making it happen. You have to believe you can do it before you can convince others of the same thing, so even if you’re unsure whether something is a good fit for who you are, give it all the effort you can muster. That way, if you ever do decide you’re just not as interested in that hobby/career/industry as you thought you would be, you can safely move on from it without regretting the decision or questioning if you simply hadn’t tried hard enough; a job that frustrates you even at your best will never fulfill you as much as a job that motivates you even when at your worst.

YOU CANT BE ANY COOLER YOU'RE ALREADY ICE COLD- okay that was super lame- I just want to say that I'm hoping to have a career in art in the future and your style is so inspiring and super unique I love it so much-! How you draw expressions, faces and body's is so full of movement and life and all these different versions and AU's you make are just so inspiring and great-! Looking at your stuff always puts me in the mood to draw!
