Medical School + Voice Acting

Medical school started and it is hell. But I asked for it so. I'm super happy to be going back to school for my final year. Should graduate next year. Out of boredom I also got into voice acting. No, I'm not famous or something. Neither am I making big money lmfao.
Started as something small and fun and thought it would be cool to be the voice of some youtube channels. And I landed something out of chance. Like so much has happened in the past two months. I get to stay in the background at least so I don't have to deal with people as much, but I did get to meet youtubers with 100k+ subscribers. I get to talk to them not as a fan, but as someone who is on the same level. I'm not paid for most of my work at the moment, but it's nice when someone recognizes me only for my work and voice, not for how I look, what I wear, etc. I'm genuinely recognized for my hard work.Not by any other criteria.

Anyone can do it but it takes lots of work and learning. I ended up editing videos and making thumbnails for some youtubers. It's nice getting to make friends and getting to know others through this.

And I also started up digital art. Which is also crazy. Because I ended up learning photoshop as well as how to edit images or even draw slightly. Took me two months to throw together these skills.
Overall I'm feeling super good about everything so far and it's super exciting working in the voice acting industry and hoping I can make this something even more amazing in the future.😅

If you are in medical school, how do you have time for SW and voice acting lessons and YouTube ?
Juvia · 22-25, F
@TexChik The voice acting doesn't really need lessons anyway.
It's more so the recording process, noise reduction, and the different programs I have to use which took the most time to learn. And even now I'm still figuring out a lot about it when I can. Though things have obvs slowed down a bit for me with school starting.

@Juvia Oh. Here Medical School is the where dedicated students (College honor grads) go to learn to become actual doctors. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good luck. Learn the stuff, make the top grades, set yourself apart from the others and you will do very well. 😉

@TexChik Yeah, I thought med school was just another word for going to school to study anything in the medical field.😅 But I'm working hard, and when I can't sleep at night as well. It's mostly flash cards at least. It's interesting stuff that I actually surprisingly love a lot. A lot of my family members are in the medical field, so who knows, maybe I'll just stay in. I can get myself a good job then.

Congrats yo!

Also lmk about that voice acting. People tell me to do that or podcasting so I'm curious 👀
Juvia · 22-25, F
@cerealguy imma have to put u on my discord instead of snap🥲
And yeeee, I can give u tips too and whatnot if you start up. Getting the mic going and all that takes a lot more than I thought.😅

Medical school? Looking to be a doctor?
Juvia · 22-25, F
@deadgerbil I just called it med school cause I'm studying my basics. It's just medical billing and coding along with a side of medical administration. But I'm still taking my basics for medical. Lots to memorize. Everything to do with the human body and more at the moment. I have like 6 months of that.
But I'm liking it a lot so I'm thinking of maybe staying around or going back after to do nursing. 😊
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
@Juvia I thought it was full on medical school. I was gonna pray for you lol

Sounds very fun tho
Juvia · 22-25, F
@deadgerbil I was wondering why the shcooling was so fast....well I found out they cram it all into one year I guess. So you finish it fast but also you're dead all the time. So I guess it feels like medical school cause it's like two chapters every week for the next six months and I dunno how Imma even remember any of it. 🥲cause we just covered the entire skeletal system basically in what felt like one day.
ShepherdBard · 31-35, M
Very impressive. You’ve got quite some drive
Juvia · 22-25, F
@ShepherdBard I kept it under wraps for several months cause I wasn't sure if it would work out and also it's kinda hard to get into it. so I was scared a lot but I just kept trying even when things looked like it wouldn't work out or things didnt go so good.
ShepherdBard · 31-35, M
@Juvia good for you! Most people would have given up. This should be proof to yourself of all you can accomplish going forward as well
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
Wow you'll have a lot of skills!
Juvia · 22-25, F
@Longpatrol It's actually very fun to do. But just like anything, I have to practice a lot. And record sometimes 2 hours or more. Keeping the audio clean and free of noise is the big issue. But I've made some friends with some small youtubers that I enjoy talking to. They're pretty awesome people with much better skills than me.😅
Welcome back novie <3
Juvia · 22-25, F
@TryingtoLava Nice to see you Lava! Probably only gonna be around for a week or maybe less. School has me pretty busy. But who knows.😅
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
That's great. I can only talk about the radio/TV/movie side of things, but it is a very competitive field. Best of luck.
Juvia · 22-25, F
@uncalled4 Oh yeahhhhh, see thats cool stuff right there. I usually hate my voice but found out I'm pretty versatile with it. So it works out. I'm working hard a lot lately. Super hard. Fitting medical stuff alongside it is kinda rough cause it's a lot of work but I'm doing it.
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
@Juvia Great. If you have any links to share, please do!
Juvia · 22-25, F
@uncalled4 I shared with a few friends at one point, but I'm still a bit shy about my 'work'. I guess I'll get over that eventually but one of my friends listened to it on the phone with me and I about died.😅

I am so glad things are going so well for you. That’s really amazing to hear 🩷.
