My Vlog from Hamacon 2017! Join me on a tour of this awesome little spot in Huntsville, AL, for an Anime Convention that isn’t huge, but is ran like a well oiled machine by a really great staff, and gives attendees an opportunity to meet some of their favorite names in anime without the massive lines. 

I have a special place in my heart for these medium sized conventions, because my anxiety goes wild when my large self has to weave through a sea of people just to get around. I will say, the footage I got of the main hall isn’t representative of the actual crowd. That footage was midday on Friday. Come Saturday there was easily three times the amount of people.

The Artist Alley was one of my favorites from any con I’ve ever been to. The variety and quality was off the charts, and putting the artists front and center is awesome. I feel like the internet has begun to make dealer rooms less intriguing, so having artists of all sorts there with things you didn’t know you needed or wanted is wonderful.

A strange compliment to the convention center: the folding chairs were great. Some cons have traditional stuffed cloth back/bottom chairs and they get filthy so fast. These were really sturdy black plastic chairs that had itty bitty keyhole sized holes throughout so it was less likely anything would get stuck on them and it was breathable...just really good chairs? Like that’s something most people wouldn’t think of but trust me, when you’ve seen the stains I’ve seen on some chairs at conventions, you’ll understand why it’s a bigger deal than you might think.

The footage of my panel will be edited down and posted separately, but I will say that it was a ton of fun. I was nervous as heck at first and I’m sure it showed, but the crowd (which was a mostly filled small panel room) was really into it, asked all sorts of questions, and had a blast with the audience participation. I can’t wait to do it again at AnimeFest, and I hope that in the future I’ll be able to do more panels at more cons. Or if any con needs a guest to feature in their Late Night track, by all means...hit me up.

I will be making an effort to attend this con again in the future, this time with more planning and maybe some friends to join in on the fun!

I feel so bad, there was a whole squad of people who wanted to chat with me after the panel and I feel like I only got to a few folks. Glad people liked the candy though! If anyone happened to want to speak and I didn't get a chance, let me know and maybe I can find you tomorrow! I'll be hanging around Sunday for a bit.

YuuriVoice @ Hamacon 8, June 23-25th

It’s official! I’ll be attending Hamacon in Huntsville, AL this June, and bringing with me my panel “How to (Accidentally) Become an R-18 VA!”, and 18+ panel where I’ll discuss the wild ride that I’ve been on, what got me into this peculiar voice acting thing, as well as get the audience involved in some embarrassing and mildly lewd shenanigans! 

Not attending Hamacon but still want to see me at a con? Tell your favorite con that you want to see me as a guest! I can be reached here, or on my Twitter. 

Or, if you’re attending AnimeFest in Dallas, TX this August, you can see me there! Currently two of my panels are up for voting, this panel I’ve mentioned here, and an 18+ Yuri on Ice panel! I’ll include links to both of those below, and if you’re a registered member who has already paid for a pass, you can vote for my panels!
