Fabs, one of my animators and a dear friend of mine, drew me a lovely picture for my birthday. What I didn't know, was that she also recorded it!

 If you want the completed art you can find it here: http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/thefabs/piper

And check her out at http://www.thefabs.newgrounds.com 

​If you didn't know, she has been working on a new animation called "The Finger Eater" where I have been brought on board as the main character, Ruby.

Keep your eyes peeled for its release this winter. 

Love, Pipes

Made a crap video for you guys to watch with your eyes.

As you might have noticed, my activity on Newgrounds and other websites subsided for a few weeks. This was on account of some crazy legal stuff that I got dragged into. Not only did it call for my immediate and full attention, but it also called for a social media blackout. My apologies if anyone felt neglected. Don't worry, I still love you. <3

Here are a few updates.

The creator of Snow Snow For Lucy came out last month with Sweet Dreams Hot Shot , where I once again had a father/daughter relationship with Gianni Matragrano (SirUndead). For those who missed it you can watch it here.  



You can be my daddy if you'd like to, Gianni. ;)

Our first time as father and daughter was in Dylan Carter's "Pine" which ended up being featured in at least two different film festival showcases. Congratulations, Dylan! 

In other news, a teaser for the Pepe Luu series was also released last month. A series for children, created and animated by Jolijn Schuurman, that carries a dark side. It touches on some subjects that most children's shows leave untouched. That off key and somewhat ominous birthday song is being sang by Pepe to her friend Anna who is not having such a happy birthday. I voice the character, Pepe, and Anna is played by Cayla Martin. More cast members to be revealed when the pilot episode is released later this year. So be on the look out! :D

I have a lot of stuff coming out this year that I hope you'll enjoy! I also have a new voice over demo coming soon. My old demo is over a year old! I can nod wisely and tell you all, that's almost a century in voice over years. I am also going to be uploading a new video for my voice over channel this month so be on the look out!

I hope all of you are having a lovely evening and keeping it real!

Piper, does this mean there's going to be a second one of these monstrosities? Well, yes. As long as no one kills me with their mind powers because of how much they hate this first one, there will be more to come. 

<Video has been removed. sorry bro>

  Both the audio and video are poor, because someone didn't double check their AV source. <_<

I also didn't optimize the video for high def. But, I like my blogs to be unscripted and genuine, so instead of doing it over, I did my best to work with what I had. Better quality next time! Pwomises. 

Also, I must warn you, I've caught the "like" bug this month, I say "like" wa-a-ay too much. I hope you don't catch it too.

Take it easy~

So, I never told you, Katsucon 20 was a lot of fun. I met and personally spoke with Greg Houser, Bill Rogers, Ellyn Stern Epcar and Richard Epcar about voice acting. I ran into a lot of other cool people and yes, I dressed up.



 Go ahead. Laugh. I know, it's dorky looking. But I had fun!

This year's con was a little interesting. Many of our special guests were showing up late because of flight cancellations that were due to the snow storm. In the end though everything worked out for the best. This year I made it a point to show up an hour early for each of the panels, because last year I barely made it into a panel. I'll admit here, that this did result in a lot of sitting around and waiting (actually, this photo was taken of me while waiting) which is why I may invest in a VIP pass next year. I focused this year on voice acting panels, hopping from one to the next. A couple of the panels I found extra helpful were the 3 Day VA workshop with Greg Houser and Bill Rogers (the guys in that group photo where I'm in costume) and the voice directing panel with Ellyn and Richard (the two in the group photo without costume.)

After that last panel, I had a chance to speak face to face with Ellyn and Richard at an autograph session. In which I was startled with some kind words from Ellyn. "You know, you have a great voice! The industry really needs voices like yours." which from hearing, I blushed and gushed all over myself, thanked her and got back in line for Richard's autograph.Then I was thrown into another frenzy when Richard said "You have a really great voice. The voice acting industry is always looking for voices like yours."  Then Ellyn chimed in from across the way, "That's what I just said to her!" Then I fell over and died. I'd never felt as empowered or as appreciated as I did in that large carpeted hall outside Ballroom C. I walked on air for the rest of the day. [I'm telling you this, because it really meant a lot to me. Ellyn and Richard are not magical faeries that say who is talented and who isn't, all they said was my voice has a demand in the market, which encouraged me.]



Between the new knowledge I'd gained, all the information buzzing around in my mind and the encouragement from the world of voice acting, I knew right then and there on my way home that I owed it to myself and everyone who believes in me, to do my best and be the best I can be.

As some of you may have noticed, I have a new website up, PiperFaye.com. Go on and check it out it you'd like. It has information on projects I'm working on, a blog and a full history of my work. It's initial purpose is actually for networking purposes but I've tried to make it more appealing for anyone who wants to visit. I hope you guys like it, and even more, I hope that my drive to do well can inspire you in some way to do the same for yourself, for whatever it is you want to do in life. Thank you for all of your continued support. I am so grateful.

Much love!

So, my fellow earthlings. The time of Katsucon XX is upon us and I have but one question. Okay, actually two. Are you going? -and- Do you even know what Katsuon is? I've been bringing it up with my followers on Twitter as well as in the NG chat a few times and everyone's response usually is "What's a katsucon?"   

Well, Katsucon is a gathering of the arts. An appreciattion for fantasy, animation, folklore, music, culture, art, acting and everyone who shares that interest with you. It's a place of harmony. It's where, for the most part, you're going to be smiling from ear to ear, unless you just blew all your money on some Zelda plushtoy and seven posters of Skyrim fanart. Or you didn't get in line in time to make it into a panel being hosted by one of your favorite voice actors.

Last year when I went, I met Rikki Simmons and Crispin Freeman. Got a signed poster of Gir from Rikki and a retweet and a thank you from Crispin. I witnesed a lot of amazing artists, creative costume players, exuberant fans and was even introduced to new venues I'd have never considered. I networked. I kanoodled. I had a blast.  

Some people may suggest that conventions are too extravagant or that the attendees are simply losing their marbles and their money. But I suggest that conventions are a place of unity and expression. It is like opening up a door and meeting thousands of other people who share your passions, your interests. It's walking up to your favorite creators and shaking their hands. It's meeting some of the most welcoming and friendly people you may ever come across in your journeys. This, my friends, is why I'll be going.  

If it sounds like something you'd enjoy, I urge you to check it out if you're in the area. Or find a convention near you and give it a go. I never thought I'd go to a convention, the thought of it overhwhelmed me, what could I possibly benefit from going? Then I found it out, and will always cherish those moments. Those moments when I don't feel so alone anymore.  

I hope that someday, I can be one of those voice actors visiting these conventions. I guess we'll have to see.

It's not an update.  However, it is a slight welcome for newcomers to my voice acting channel and a demonstration of something people ask quite often...

<this video has been removed. sorry to disappoint.>

And yes, that's my real voice, what were you expecting? :P   Much love!   - Pipes

Well, it's time I catch up with everyone.

A few of you know, I moved into a new home the last week of October. It was quite the situation, but what matters is that I am now finally living where I can actually walk outside without hearing, "What's up, baby?" or have people trying pull me into their cars. Less crime makes for less stress, and less stress means I can take on bigger workloads. This is good news and I appreciate all of the support!

So, as some of you are aware, the bulk of my Newgrounds' portfolio is repeat work done with Grant Wooley (WooleyWorld) and Sam T Nelson (Ebolaworld). While it is a joy to work with Sam T Nelson, and an immense heada-I mean pleasure to world with Grant (loooove you :P ), my chance to work with Kel-Chan, was a nice change of pace. Sometimes the work I do is completely unrelated to Newgrounds, like my part as Hanna in the popular Skyrim mod, Helgen Reborn created by Mike Hancho. Whatever it is that I may be doing, I look forward to being able to bring you guys more work and I will do my best to keep all of you posted!

Next, coming in on the last day to enter I've finally submitted my entry, First Time Rule Breaker to Newgrounds' Voice Acting Contest 11. I went through many scripts and worked really hard on this in between the moving and other things but I really feel like I was able to give this a good go and I thank everyone involved. I'm very excited to be a part of something like this and look forward to listening to all of the entries.

Anyway, I'd love it if you guys would fill me in on what's been up with you! Comment parade commence!

Starting Monday the 28th of October through Friday the 1st of November (update: Actually, November 2nd now! So busy!) I will be slightly unavailable.

I wanted to take the time to let you know that if you're going to contact me for voice work that my lack of response does not necessarily indicate that I have turned you down. Logic being: just because you send me a message on Newgrounds does not mean I've read it. (Plus, I actually take the time to turn people down, I don't ignore them.)

If you are in need of an immediate response please send me an email. I can't tell you how many times I've returned to messages with words like "on a deadline" - "immediately" or "as quickly as possible!" just sitting in my inbox. If it is important and you need me to voice for you I'd love to take a look at your project. EMAIL ME! Please, don't rely strictly on the NG personal messaging system to get a hold of me. There is a contact and networking panel on every profile page specifically for this reason.

Please refer to my contact info on how to get a hold of me. (It's always been there.)

Thank you!

SECRET UPDATE: Congratulations to Grant Wooley for being the number one daily feature for the second time in the last couple of weeks!! (If I Had One by WooleyWorld)
