Grantm returns!
Grantm, the wannabe VA from last time, starts a new journal. Two of them [[info]grantm1 and [info]gmvox), one of which was him impersonating an ADV voice actor employee. It's been deleted, but I'm taking bets he'll bring it back.

In his new journal, he whines about not having as many LJ friends as other people, and he wants to know why he ignores advice. He also wants as many industry contacts as possible even though he's never taken acting classes. He also manages to get himself banned from a Pro VA's LJ too. Cue the angst.

Oh, and he makes a wangsty post about never being a VA, or having sex. Watch as the comments explode. Bonus points include for Grantm arguing that he has talent.

Because of course he has to have talent, it's just still undiscovered!

Well, if VAing doesn't pan out, he'll just be an ADR director!. This entire LJ is wanky, so there's more wank to be had outside of these links.

If people hadn't met this guy in real life and found him to be even worse offline, I'd have thought this guy a troll. Sadly, he isn't.

My brain is melting out my ears.

[EDIT] Why, will Grantm TRULY quit obsessing about VAing? He claims he is quitting (really!), but the thread dissolves into more of a pity-fest for himself than anything else: choice quote from this is

Speaking of David Williams....I guess I should apologise to him.....correct that him and everyone else at ADV for the whole gmvox blog thing. I'm sure he's pissed at me for doing that

I should point out if ADV were to ever offer me a chance to be in anime dub if ever, I would take it up in an instant. Even though I've given up voice acting if they were to give me a chance, I would do it, no questions aksed. But we all know that's never going to happen

Why is it I ignore advice?, even though I try not to?

Ahhh, one of the questions of the eternities...*headdesk*

I've noticed a lot of LJ users here with 100+ friends
How do I have that many as well?

Dunno, try being responsive towards other people?????

Now I know my attitude has probably scared away just about everyone in the pro VA community, but I promise never to do what I did again.

*facepalm*

Ohh, god. That's not even the worst of his comments, but somehow it's what pushed me over the edge. I can't even mock him; I just feel incredibly sorry for him. This boy needs help.

You have got to be one of the most self-centered moronic people I have met on the net thusfar.

You have to:
Get over your misconceptions
Deal with your insecurities
Get a haircut (have to toss that one in)


Why am I laughing so hard at that?

You've already insured that you WILL NEVER WORK AT ADV OR FUNIMATION yourself.

Regardless, after all this, you will never work as a VA. You've stalked employees, practically black-listed yourself, you have no talent, you have the wrong attitude. You won't EVER be a VA. EVER.

That's bullshit. Talent doesn't go undiscovered so long. It's clear you don't have it, PERIOD.

I've heard your mp3s. They were honestly the worst sort of tripe I have ever heard. Imagine the worst dubbing you've ever heard. Well, yours was even WORSE than that. You don't have talent. You are horrible at acting, and you have a fucked up voice, and everyone sounds the same.

Well, you will be useless as long as you think you are and do nothing useful.
Being a VA is not the only thing that makes you useful. There are a million things out there you can do to be of use.
1st. see a therapist about your poor self image and inferiority complex.
2nd. get the help of a counselor to explore your options for careers.
3rd. continue with your college education.

see what happens from there.

I think he's the long-lost clone of a guy I used to know (well, knew vaguely from cons). This guy wanted to be Scott McNeil. Not wanted to be like, wanted to be. He also didn't get the concept of "No, you are not invited to come with us" and would follow people around to the point where it verged on stalking.

And then he upped and moved to Vancouver to try to get a job as a voice actor. Last I heard of him, he was really starting to freak Scott out by calling him all the time.

I sincerely hope these two never, ever meet.
