A fantastic evening listening to Tom Cruise discuss his decades long career. His passion and dedication to both the craft and to storytelling in general is palpable. The crossover as well between the history of film and the future of games is fascinating.... #film #videogames #acting

Before my partner left for work, they dropped off homemade Chicken ramen miso soup they'd been making for 3 days. Had a portion today and dear god..... I'm gonna have to up my game! #cooking #ramen #homemade #yummy

This is the face of someone who's just started work on the biggest role of their career. 16 years I've been hammering at the door and today I got to sink my teeth into something juicy that I cannot wait to shout about. It's been a long journey, but worth every step. #videogames #actor #voiceactor

Today I got the privilege to watch as 18 months of writing, planning, casting and directing came to a head as we recorded the emotional heart of the story. I couldn't have asked for more talented or professional actors, or a better team to experience this with. #videogames #acting #voiceactor

Today I was at SIDE running a table read, something almost never done for videogames. The cast and team are amazing, this was such a wonderful creative day of collaboration. More of this please, Games Industry! The BTS footage from today should be interesting 🤣

I've found "tapping therapy" useful for that. Easiest one is to tap the underside of a hand, the bit you'd use if you were doing a karate chop. Tap it rhythmically with a finger or against a surface.
