I am a voice actor with a stutter... sort of I have always liked the idea of acting and later voice acting growing up. I was decent at it given my limitations with a stutter etc, but It could be nothing more than a bit of a fun and not something I could tackle professionally, I knew pretty early on my limitations but somehow (despite suffering with depression for a good chunk of my life) It never got me down, I always liked doing things my way and I'd do... something with it. Over time I found some work arounds for my stutter, some self taught vocal techniques have made my stuttering far less, but it seems it will always linger, especially with certain sounds or syllables as many can likely attest to in your lives, Mine is the combo of an S an T, ironically the word stutter is difficult for me to say. Now I have done some minor voice work for small animations on Youtube, an unreleased video game, as a video editor for some clients I sometimes provide my voice, but now... I am currently dubbing anime into a language form my country that hasn't been used in dubbing in cartoons etc since the late 80s/early 90s I wanted to aim for as professional as I could, while being an abridged parody as I have no legal right to do an actual dub (though I am working on that) Luckily I had already built a good foundation fanbase from my content for locals in my country so I had eyes on it from the start. Here the kicker though, I voice several characters in this dub, I write it, edit it, do the sound design... etc. I speak this language.. but I am not a native speaker, so my stutter "work arounds" barely come in handy. I stutter like a MOFO when recording these non English lines. So when every voice actor goes through a bunch of takes to get good takes, I go through hundreds more... but I am doing it. When creativity strikes I cant help it, I am a slave to it. Limitations be damned. My super power is completely forgetting I have "insert limitation" when inspired. I knew I couldn't do voice acting professionally, so... I did it my way..
