Nick Senny (5/8)

I share all of my recent castings and updates on my website. My particular blog posts can be found here.


Hot Topic (Nintendo High)

My new biggest project has just been released alongside talented individuals such as Joseph Zampirri, Joseph Amaro, @cyclonebreitmayer, and Elijah Justice. Class is now in session! Join Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and other iconic Nintendo characters as they encounter their biggest adventure yet: high school! Nintendo High is a brand new web series following all the classic characters you know and love with a brand new twist! Do Mario and Luigi have what it takes to survive the first day of high school? Pack your school bags and join us over at Nintendo High!


So far Episode 1 has gained 3k viewers, and continues to grow after releasing just yesterday. If you’re interested, please watch, leave a comment, subscribe, and then follow smash.fanman on Instagram for continued updates.

This is a passion project that Joseph Zampirri (smash.fanman on Instagram) has been trying to get made for years, so it means a lot that I was given the opportunity to help make that a reality. I perform the editing and sound design for this series (wear headphones, thanks), as well as voice Mario. All others involved are incredibly talented, with Joe’s writing and stellar performances / direction, @cyclonebreitmayer ’s (cyclonebreitmayer on Instagram) music I’ve been a #1 fan of for 15+ years, and Joseph Amaro’s (josephamaro25 on Instagram) / Elijah Justice’s (jus.ticeleaguer on Instagram) unlimited creativity and design with their artwork. Allowing actors who have struggled to find that one role to get them to the next level, it’s incredibly important to me that I can help them achieve their dreams and make them sound as great as possible. It somewhat plays in part with my work in the Newgrounds Voice Acting Collab.


Previously, I had been using a small MSI laptop to do all of my work, which consistently overheated and made working quite the slog. I have since bought a PC build with a BENQ monitor. Now, with this new setup, and collaboration with the artist Joe Amaro, I will be trying to further "tween animate" the characters in a style of "Epithet Erased."


PukeBomb (Dr. Schmuck in...)

Alongside @Nattosumi and @SepticSebi , with writing by @Bro-son33 , our next cartoon has released!

Dr. Schmuck in... A DISGUSTING DISPLAY OF EXTREME MEDICAL MALPRACTICE


Everyone's favorite family practitioner is back at it again after years of being off the air!

This time, the Dr. performs an experimental life-saving surgery on a patient who's soon to kick the bucket BIG TIME.

I had a blast performing the editing / sound design, as well as the voices you hear!


We've also released a short animation celebrating our new YouTube channel, and its TEN WHOLE SUBSCRIBERS!

Please make sure you subscribe for further updates!

The Open Door Policy (5/8)

After appearing on the Newgrounds Podcast recently for a special CERBERUS episode with bot[h] @JoshDytonVO and @VoicesByCorey, a sp[e]cia[l] someone made his NGP debut. [L]uckily, if you missed it, you can listen now to our e[p]isode! Perhaps The Conqueror's final words mean something is soon coming your way... 5 6.



I spoke about the countless projects I'm involved in, including the occasional Cutouts animations, PukeBomb, and Nintendo High! I also shared some backstory on my previous experiences and inspirations, as well as some personal stories. Josh spoke of his rise to fame on YouTube, his descent into madness as the EU night continued to torment his sleep deprived brain, and none other than SPACEQUEST!


Production on Episode 5 and others is still in progress.

For anyone just starting to listen, here is a playlist for the show.

Releases

I will use this area to update on previous News Post castings and provide updates on releases here.

  • @BigTexasTony 's recent #FridayNightFunkin cartoon has released and is currently at 7k viewers!



Goals

I will be using this section of my updates to inform whether or not my previous goals have been met.


Goal Update:

  • SUCCESS (172 -> 226): Reach 200 followers on Newgrounds
  • SUCCESS (481 -> 529): Reach 500 followers on Instagram
  • PARTIAL SUCCESS: Make significant progress on the Newgrounds Voice Acting Collab 2021 [P1]
  • FAILED: Make significant progress on ODP Episode 5 (Other projects have taken priority)


By next month, I hope that I will accomplish the following:

  • Reach 250 followers on Newgrounds
  • Reach 550 followers on Instagram
  • Finish the Newgrounds Voice Acting Collab 2021 [P1]
  • Make significant progress on ODP Episode 5
  • Return to auditioning for roles and be casted for a larger project
  • Develop a healthy balance of work and social life / exercise
  • Incorporate VA into my professional career


Closing Remarks / Thank You's

I've been getting increasingly involved with personal projects rather than auditioning for outside roles. While I am having an extreme amount of fun with working on my own animations / cartoons, I am starting to burn the candle at both ends. I'm not exactly taking care of my health or social life as I should, and am even finding it difficult to watch films as I start to feel guilty for not working on something for a given hour(s).


Having a good amount of responsibility and expectations placed on myself does become somewhat stressful, but I am used to this type of pressure. It's what allows me to thrive and continue working on that which I am passionate about, whereas otherwise I would be wasting my life away at my monotonous job. I have actually been informed that I might have an opportunity to record and edit professional tutorials for a large corporation. Let's see where that takes me. I've been attempting to find a different job that is centered in audio (hopefully in Texas), but unfortunately no buyers yet. I am not defeated, however, and will continue to strive for that which I believe I deserve: a fulfilling job in a career I am passionate about.


I'd like to thank Joe Zampirri, Joseph Amaro, Elijah Justice, and Nicholas Breitmayer for their work alongside me in Nintendo High. We have a good future ahead of us and are going to continue developing the series as a team.


And lastly, I'd like to thank you, for reading all of this.


Best regards,

NickSenny
