    Why Now?

    By Tech Reel,

    Why is everything hitting me so hard all of a sudden?
     
    Why is it that, since Valentines Day, I've been feeling depressed again? There's just no rhyme or reason for it. I'm suddenly remembering my depressing past and feeling sad about my present. Nothing specifically sad is going on for me right now. No sad events, no memory-triggering people, no anything. I'm just feeling like crap out of nowhere and I don't understand why.
     
    Then again, while nothing sad has happened recently, not much good has happened either. The extent of my day is waking up, going online, watching tv, and going to sleep, with the addition of work on some days. Maybe I'm just lonely, I don't really have many friends. And, I have just lost the last of my friends(that I talk to daily) about a month or so ago, leaving me with only one true friend...online. And I haven't spoken to a friend with my actual voice in months...
     
    You know, the whole depression thing is starting to make more and more sense...

    Hey guys!
    Welcome back to My Little Blog: Writing Is Magic!
     
    Today's entry will be pretty short.
    I want your opinions on my voice for a certain character.
     
    Check out the video below to see me and hear the voice.

    How's the voice? Let me know in the comments.
    That's it for now.

    Hey guys!
    Welcome back to My Little Blog: Writing Is Magic!
     
    In the last two blogs(and videos) I've told you that I'm going to be starting a YouTube channel soon, so I thought I'd tell you more about it.
     
     
     

    COMING SOON TO A CHANNEL NEAR YOU



    My Little Channel: Videos Are Magic


     
    This channel will be run by myself, Pink Mist, and Ponyboy15.
     
    On it we'll be making videos such as:
    -Analyzation videos
    -Episode reviews
    -Blind commentary
    -Reaction videos
    -etc.
     
    We should be uploading the first video sometime soon hopefully. Up to now we've been preparing. Getting the channel banner and avatar made, OC's vectored, intros and theme songs made, and more.
     
    Although we can't use video from the show because of copyright, we should still be able to make things work with pictures and audio(As long as that won't be copyrighted too ).
     
    I'm sure it will all work out fine, and when we get started it's going to be a lot of fun .
    We couldn't have made it as far as we have without the help of the generous people on the forums.
     
    -----
    I'd like to thank:
     
    Dilarus: For helping me by making the sketches that brought my character to life and were vectored for my videos.
     
    BlueBay: For vectoring my OC for my videos and the avatar for the channel.
     
    NitPick: For making an awesome banner for the channel.
     
    AppleJared: For making the intro music/theme song for my videos.
    -----
     
    If you want to see what the channel looks like so far, click here -> http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVeVoit5WL371vuGbW2XP2A
     
    That's all for now.

    Recently I've been sketching all my feelings down onto paper. Here's the result.




    While the images aren't exactly happy, they were fun to draw. It felt nice to channel my thoughts and feelings into these, making my slight sadness into some fairly nice sketches

    Human Interaction

    By Tech Reel,

    I really hate what keeps happening to me. I'll be in the mood to talk, and I'll go to a profile of a forum friend, and I'll consider messaging them to start up a conversation. But every time I chicken out and just don't do it. There are three people I feel comfortable messaging. One is on the forums and the other two are on Skype. I try to make friends and it very rarely happens. Then someone seems nice and we friend each other, but I just can't work up the nerve to message. I always stop myself when I realize I have nothing interesting to say, and I'm not entirely sure the appropriate reasons or protocols. It sounds like I'm really overcomplicating the whole "talking thing", and that's because I am. Overthinking is a thing I do. I just hate this. Coupled with the fact that I'm only able to talk to the three friends I mentioned about once a week as of recently :/

    Hey guys!
    Welcome to my very first blog
     
    I don't know how often I'll be making these.
    Probably as often as I have something to talk about
     
    So first, a bit about myself.
    I'm a 17 year old energetic guy who likes PC games, cartoons, and MLP as you probably guessed.
     
    I only became a Brony months ago and I'm loving it
    Since this is an intro, I'll make this blog about the reason I'm even on this website, how I became a Brony.
     
    I had heard a lot about the Brony craze and was very confused by it.
    I actually made fun of the whole idea.....sorry
     
    Anyway, I first heard the theme song from a show called "Teens React" and was addicted to it. I returned to the video too many times to count until I finally got up the nerve to watch an episode. I was curious why guys actually liked the show and wondered if there was anything good about the show. At the same time I was actually a bit nervous that I would like it too much and go completely crazy.
     
    I watched the first episode and thought "Meh".
    It wasn't great and it wasn't horrible, so I moved on to the next episode.
    Then I went to the next one...and the next one, and the next, and next, and next, etc.
    After about two weeks I watched seasons one, two, and three...Wow
     
    It was better than I ever expected it to be.
    I saw more slapstick comedy than I expected to see in the whole series in the first few minutes.
    This show is probably the best example I've ever seen of "Don't judge a book by its cover".
     
    So, there's my story.
    What's yours? Write about your "Bronyfication" in the comments
     
    So, I hope you enjoyed my first blog, and I hope you'll enjoy the ones in the future.

    Tech Reel's Family

    By Tech Reel,

    Hello everybody!
    I'm here because I just spent a butt load of time making a family for my ponysona, and I'd like to show off..er..I mean show YOU..them....yep
     
    So here is Tech Reel's family

    Dad: Cam Climax
    http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af334/ReelyRandom/Cam%20Climax_zpsmczzy59a.png
    His cutie mark is a unicycle with a film reel for a wheel. This symbolizes Cam's talent for filmmaking, as well as the precision and uniqueness he applies to his creations.

    http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af334/ReelyRandom/Cliffnote_zpsiqabzd0k.png
    Her cutie mark is a torn book page with punctuation going over the edge(Made to resemble a cliff). This symbolizes Cliffnote's talent for script and story writing, also showcasing her love of suspense and cliffhangers.

    Brother: Beta
    http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af334/ReelyRandom/Beta_zpsandi16hx.png
    No cutie mark yet..but he has an Irish accent....so there's that(I still need to work on Beta's interests).
     
    Sister: Copywrite
    http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af334/ReelyRandom/Copywrite_zpsifftgvlc.png

    Hey guys!
    I'm doing a cover of the Steven Universe song "Peace and Love(On The Planet Earth)"
     
    What I'd like for the ending verses of the song is a few random people to sing the last lines
    "Life and death and love and birth and..."
    "Life and death and love and birth and peace and love on the planet earth"
    "Is there anything that's worth more?"
     
    So if you like the song and would like to be part of the video, just PM me a video of you singing one or all of the parts in the song(live action video would be preferred, but if you'd rather put a pic of your oc that's okay too).
     
    Hope to see some replies, and hopefully I don't run out of parts before you enter yours(I only need one of each of the lines I mentioned).

    Distraction

    By Tech Reel,

    Distraction
     
    That's all I really am, a distraction.
    It's all I've ever been, and it's probably all I'll ever be.
     
    All I do is get in people's way, ocassionally help them out. Then they get to a point where they have to go or they just don't need me anymore. Whether it's something I do or a choice of their own, it's just how it always goes.
     
    One day, I wish I could be something more, but the evidence doesn't look good. I'm just eternally doomed to be The Doctor. My favorite TV character, with a life that is my living nightmare. I'm just the silly madman, going around distracting people from their life until things begin working in their favor. Once things start going well for them, the distraction is no longer needed, meaning another lost "friend".
     
    How do I fix this? I'm not sure I can...it might just be the hell that I'm destined to live. My hope is fading and I don't know what to think anymore.

    MLB:WIM #5 - Friends

    By Tech Reel,

    Hey guys!
    Welcome back to My Little Blog: Writing Is Magic!
     
    There are times that I'm on the forums while none of my friends are. This makes me think about the lives they have, and how they often seem to have things to do, places to go, and people to be with.
     
    Why isn't my life like this?
    I don't have many friends. To be completely honest, I have about two "real friends" that I talk to offline.
     
    What do I mean by "real friends"?
    I categorize people I talk to by how often we hang out or have conversations within the categories of "real friends" and "half friends".
     
    A "half friend" is basically an acquaintance. A person who I talk to once in a while, but never really have conversations with. Just someone who I talk to for the purpose of passing time(Usually in school), and don't talk to once the day is done.
     
    A "real friend" is just what it is, a friend. Someone you love to hang out with. Someone who you can tell nearly anything to. Someone who you enjoy being around and who enjoys being around you. A person that you talk to anytime, and not just to pass time, but because you enjoy talking to them.
     
    Why don't I have more "real friends"?
    Two reasons:
    1. I'm pretty shy.
    2. A lot of people around me are annoying, disrespecting, obnoxious, mean people. I honestly couldn't be friends with some of these people if I tried.
     
    This is why my life can be boring, because I don't have many friends to spend it with.
    Since I'm on the topic of loneliness, I might as well go all the way.
    One question I've been asked semi-recently in school was "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
     
    The answer is: No, I've never had a girlfriend.
    In fact, I've never even been on a single date in my life.
     
    Why? Basically the same two reasons I don't have many friends.
     
    I've only ever asked a single girl on a date...through a valentines card...that was made by the school...and given to her by some stranger...with such a vague message that she probably didn't even know it was asking her on a date...that was also signed anonymously.
     
    I don't think I'd feel so bad about this if it weren't for the fact that the few people I know and talk to have had girlfriends.
    I can't even escape this on the forums as some of my best friends on here are also dating.
     
    Maybe one day, if I could get really lucky, I can find someone I really care about who cares for me too.
    Or in the very least I could make some more friends who are "real friends".
    That isn't too much to ask, right?
     
    Well, that's all for now.

    Quick Opinion

    By Tech Reel,

    Hey everybody!
     
    I just need a quick little opinion on something.
    I'm starting a Patreon, and I've struggled a bit with coming up with rewards.
     
    I have a few here, and I just would like to know if they seem alright.
    -----
    $1 gets you access to my "Patron Only" stream. Over there I'll be posting some exclusive content that you can only see if you donate!
     
    $5 will get your name put in an end screen at the end of my next video, showing the world that you're helping out and I'm super grateful! This includes the previous reward.
     
    $10 gives you the opportunity to make me say whatever you want. Give me a message, a shout out, a movie quote, or anything that you want to hear come from my mouth. I'll say it in a video for your entertainment! Of course, this excludes any profanity or "R rated" content. And the previous rewards are also included with this one.

    Let me know what you think

    Hey guys!
    Welcome back to My Little Blog: Writing Is Magic!
     
    Over the past week two people told me that they think I could be able to voice act based on my normal voice.
    I don't really understand why, and honestly, I disagree.
     
    I don't think my voice is good for voice acting.
    I've tried doing voices many times but they never come out right or sound anything like the character I'm impersonating. They just sound like either a higher or lower pitched version of my normal voice.
     
    Is there a secret that I just don't know?
    I don't know, maybe there's a tutorial or something that I can look at.
     
    So, in the last blog I posted a video to get some opinions on a voice I tried doing for a character.
    When I looked back at the video I realized that it started okay(kind of) and then just turned into my normal voice at a high pitch.
     
    I'm sure I can do better and feel I should have a second attempt at the voice.
    Let me know what you guys think in the comments and if it's good then I'll use it, if it's bad then I'll probably find someone else to do the voice.
     
    Here's a new video with attempt #2:
     
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5hchdiNL28&feature=youtu.be
     
    Is the voice better. the same as last time, or worse?
    Let me know in the comments.
     
    That's all for now.

    Goodbye For Now

    By Tech Reel,

    Hey everyone.
    My name is Tech Reel, and this is my goodbye.
     
    Now I don't know how long I'll be gone. It could be months, it could be a year, or maybe even just a week or so. I really have no idea. I just need to get away for a while.
     
    Why? I've been down lately, really down. There's been so much on my mind and being here hasn't helped. In fact, certain circumstances on here are only reminding me of events I'd rather forget. Not only that, I've come to realize that I have no significant role here anymore. I post once in a while, and I talk to a few members, but not enough to satisfy me right now. I'm barely responded to, and I have many friends on my list that I either don't know or don't hear from. On top of that, I feel like I've developed bad habits caused by the features of this forum. Namely, refreshing a page thousands of times on end just waiting for either a response to see if a member's status changes to online. I continuously do it, and it just doesn't feel right. I need to distance myself, then hopefully when I return I won't do it nearly as much.
     
    As I said, I do plan to return. This is not me leaving forever. This is just me stepping back for a while, so I can take some time to work out my personal problems. And let me just say that these aren't super serious problems. I'm not in any kind of trouble and I don't have any people forcing me to leave. It's just bad memories and a little paranoia, nothing big or important, so there's no need to worry about me.
     
    For now, thank you all for being here for me at different moments in my time here up until now. This is the only forums I've ever been on where I feel like I'm part of one big community. Thank you Forums, thank you members, and a big thanks to the friends I've made here(You have my Skype, and we'll continue talking over there).
     
    Until I return, goodbye everyone.

    I'm Back

    By Tech Reel,

    Hey everyone, I'm back.
     
    Yes, it's only been a few days, but I feel quite a bit better.
    So..yeah....
     
    Yay! XD (Wish I could think of more to write)
  23. Tech Reel
    Hello everyone! I'm here again looking for some voices for a series of audio shorts called "Bubbly Friendship"
    The basic premise is this: When Derpy loses both her house and her job she finds herself with nowhere to go and nopony to turn to. That is until she's found by Equestria's most arrogant showpony, Trixie. She agrees to take her in to prove that, despite Starlight's beliefs, she can in fact be responsible. And as Derpy is now living with Trixie antics obviously ensue.
    The series only has one episode written so far and doesn't have any real ending in mind, just a bunch of shorts showing the life of Derpy and Trixie trying to get along in this strange situation.
     
    Here are the rules for joining this project:
    -----
    RULES: 1. You're mic doesn't have to be professional or perfect, just as clear and as little background noise as possible. 2. This is a long term series, so only join if you know you'll have the time and motivation to keep going. 3. You MUST have a Skype so we can communicate. 4. Have fun with it! This is a silly little series of random short stories so just have fun -----   If you'd like to audition then you can either go here if you have an account https://www.castingcall.club/projects/trixie-and-derpy-series-ep-1 OR you can submit your audition as a comment   So far the voices we need are of course for Trixie, Derpy, and Starlight(though more may be added in the future).
    Here are the audition lines for each character
    The audition period, as of right now, is until July 31st. I'm excited to hear your auditions! Good luck!
