So to whomever wishes to answer, why do you make these? Are you making video reels for portfolios? Or just for Funzies~? What do most enjoy about the scripts you read? #RoyalQuery
NOTE: Sorry for the delay! Unfortunately we couldn’t get everyone. ><”
Miss Kisa (Writer): “I joined as a writer because it sounded like a lot of fun and I wanted to expand my writing work to something outside of my norm. I’ve met a lot of amazing people because of it, so I’m really grateful to RoyalVoices for taking me on as a writer. Since then I’ve done a lot more than just writing as well, such as help managing the Tumblr page for example. XD”
Lady Maddy (Director): “they make them because I force them to at gunpoint”Prince Jordan: “Yes LMAOOOOONonono but for real, I do this for fun! I’ve never really thought about putting some of these in a reel though. Now that you’ve brought it up I might as well! So thank you! In terms of what I most enjoy though… I’d have to say acting though different scenarios, diving into areas I never really thought I’d go to! That and the amount of creativity that goes into each and every one of these scripts. And most importantly: Making sure you all stay happy and know that each of you are loved <3 One smile can make a difference.”
Prince Kenji: “I voice act for our channel because I legitimately enjoy the work and the amazing scripts that our writers make for us. Plus, I haven’t really been making my own content or auditioning for all that many projects, so the work keeps me from going on a total hiatus from doing what I love and going insane. I’m not really sure if people put xListener videos in their portfolios, but if they do, I’m definitely gonna do that, haha. About the scripts, I love the creativity and care put into them, how they give our acting abilities the chance to shine, and the immense potential they have to give our listeners an enjoyable experience. Thank you so much for asking!”
Prince Riku: “If I’m being 100% honest, I make the audios and scripts that I do because I want people to be happy. In every possible way, I’m hoping whatever I put out: people enjoy, even if they just laugh at me, or call me cringe, or whatever, if they’re happier, then I succeeded. I think Freddy Mercury (in the film Bohemian Rhapsody) said it best for me when he says something to the degree of "I’m a performer. I’m not just gonna give the people what the want; I’m gonna give them what they need.”.(Layman’s terms: If I can brighten someone’s day in even the slightest incremental way, then I’ve succeeded in my goal. THAT is why I make/do the stuff I do for Royal Voices.)As far as what I enjoy most with the scripts…….it’s kind of a large variety of things.I enjoy seeing the hard work our writers put into them. I enjoy hearing our writers/cohorts perk up at how we’re reading their scripts, how we’re sorta bringing them to life. I enjoy reading these stories of these sometimes adorkable, sometimes oppressive characters. I enjoy the vocal training the scripts give me with the plethora of characters we have written up. I could honestly go on and on, but I guess, in the simplest terms: I just enjoy the scripts for what they are, what they do, and what they signify.EDIT: I forgot to mention I don’t do RoVo for resume accreditation. (It’s never really crossed my mind to actually do that.)“
Prince Zach: "I like to voice act. Plain and simple. Royal Voices keeps me busy while allowing me to experiment with character archetypes I otherwise might not get the chance to play. It also keeps me active socially to a degree; something I I need every now and again.”
Prince Henry: “I’m not gonna deny that the thoughts of, “ok, I gotta make this good because someone in the professional world might watch/listen to this one day” definitely come through my head when voice acting or writing. But I think the bigger reason I do it is because I just really enjoy it! And I just want to have a professional career in something I really enjoy someday. ^3^(Plus it’s very hard to become involved in an independent voice acting project these days that has lasted this long and has gained this much of a following. Most projects you audition for online are either very hard to get into, never get off the ground, or only ever put out like one episode of content before crashing and burning. I’m very happy to be a part of something that has been this consistent and endearing to people.) :-3”
Prince Chris: “I haven’t eaten in days, overlord Maddy won’t let me see my family until I work off my blood debt.”
Prince Marck: “I honestly love making these audios because I genuinely enjoy being able to play a character that brings deeper emotions out of me that I typically don’t know how to deal with. The personas I become when I act out these scripts are like pieces of me that I get to become for a few minutes, and if that can bring joy to a single person who’s looking for an escape from their reality, even for a moment, then the time and effort spent into making the audio will have been worth it. Although I personally am not trying to become a professional voice actor or voiceover artist by any means, the ability to say that I have done work within this realm of the entertainment industry is always an interesting portfolio piece for me, as well as having fun with everything along the way!”
