《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 202: Opportunity Cherishers
Advertisement
Unlike Alexander who was reluctant about many things involving voice acting, there happens to be many folks that were looking forward to it.
The people he labeled as 'Random Guy' are among the group of people who were just looking to take a part in any production of sorts.
Voice acting makes an important contribution to many films, television productions, and advertisements in the United States.
When a character represented does not appear visually in the action. When the actor playing the part is unable or unwilling to speak in it. When a character breaks into song, with a singer's voice substituted.
Aside from being needed when making animated films, the avenue of having a voice acting job is quite expansive in a sense.
A lot of people could very well want to take part in it but it is also a competitive business to be in.
Others such as Alexander might think that it has a low development ceiling but that is only when one does not know the peak that can be achieved
Although it isn't quite a circulated of a knowledge, people such as Don LaFontaine in the peak of voice acting and dubbing world is the one that the 'Random Guys' aspire for.
At some point in that enviable man's career, he became known as the Voice of God, Thunder Throat, and the King of Movie Trailers.
Voice acting wannabes feel pressure whenever they are watching a movie trailer in a cinema or on television. With gravitas and deepness, Don LaFontaine would utter the infamous "...in a world..." and introduce film fans to what the film could be.
It is said that the man is part of almost every film production he could possibly get and has connections in Hollywood that everyone can just dream of. Of course, he also has riches that every non-saints would want to have.
For the Random Guys, the gig at Creed Animations could very well be their first step to reaching the Voice of God's level.
They cherished the opportunity yet there was their unintroduced little boss who was already speculatively calculating their career track and even want to stay away from it.

It was just way too opposing views on things, so it was best that the 'Random Guys' didn't know about Alexander's opinions.
How aggrieved would they be at such a privileged fella? There was no denying that he was the creator but he should respect that voice acting craft more.
-----
Among the single reluctant trier and many opportunity cherishers, it just so happens that an opportunity cherisher of animated voice acting is a woman who appeared in a recent Tampax commercial.
It was a straightforward product advertisement but the main lady in the commercial was catching attention.
"Remember, there's a feeling with Tampax. It can actually change the way you feel about your period." Said the woman in her 80s exercise attire whilst holding a box of Tampax.
Of course, that was an advertisement being played on television, and Courteney Cox was excited to see the woman there. After all, it was none other than herself.
"Congrats again, Courteney? You're gonna make it big in the tampon industry." Sarcastically said a girl friend of Cox.
"Oh... you're just jealous." Courteney dismissed while flailing the Dragonball Volume 3 in her hands. How could she care for the envy of others when she could tell that her career's getting better.
There was the now circulating tampon commercial and a supposedly steady gig as a voice actress.
The girl friend did not comment on the jealousy claim as she truly was feeling that. Instead, she turned her eyes on the thick book that flailed towards her and asked. "How come you're reading something similar to what my tiny brother's been reading? We're already in our 20s Court. Why read comic books?"
"This is for another gig I'm doing." Courteney explained. "Besides it's quite fun, even for girls at our age. Girls want pearls, especially some seven-something balls that grant wishes."
"What kind of job is that?" The girl friend was curious and ribbed in laced jealousy. "It can't be another commercial like that Tampax one, can't it?"
"Dubbing for an animation thing. I'm playing an inventor girl that is apparently extremely popular in the world of nerds." Courteney did her research on things and knew the ins and outs of her character now.

"Phew..." The girl friend seems to have been given an ease for her envy. How could she be jealous of a cartoon gig? "I thought it was something big like a Superman movie from the comics. Why would you choose something like that though? You already have face recognition and all that. What about Misfits of Science and your run-in with the Carrie director?"
"I have not much contact with the director now, they're all high and mighty. I could still go for Misfits of Science while doing this thing." As Courteney listed that out, she felt that her career was truly on a rise.
"Why do you have to juggle two projects? You make it seem as if dubbing a cartoon is the same as acting in a real TV show. That's a real TV show, mind you!" The friend advised.
"Just want to exercise my acting skills and earn extra cash. Payment is unfair for us actresses, so I got to work hard compared to the boys who have it relatively easy." Courteney just left it at that. Her words should be solid enough for others to not look into things further.
Although the girl was her "friend", she was technically much more of an acquaintance for having the same profession and meeting at auditions on many occasions.
Vanity fair is a battle. Much more so for starlets and actresses.
Courteney couldn't just disclose some prime information that would get her ahead.
How could she share with an acquaintance about how great of a chance being a part of a cartoon is... more specifically, something about Creed.
-----
She was like this acquaintance once. Dismissing a simple cartoon as it wouldn't do much good for a career in Hollywood.
Fortunately, her agent got hold of some scattered broker pieces of information and she just connected the dots from there.
A cartoon whose per episode quota was way more generous than Misfits of Science. Creed Animations is a part of a wider Creed Entertainment that also held Creed Pictures.
Creed Pictures is the film company that produced 'Back to the Future", a film that she missed her shot during the auditions. She never got word about it now but she heard some rumors circulating about how ambitious it was.
Then, there was Creed Comics. As of this May, the Dragonball Volume 3 she has bought is just part of many other Volume Books that were released.
Courteney wouldn't forget the insight she got from people hounding over Creed Volume Books from the Dragonball series to JoJo's Bizarre Adventures Volume 1.
The clerk counter said that Volume Books are selling by the millions as time accrued and the numerosity and continuity of the comic titles were enough to tell her how many prospects it held.
Just the popularity poster sales were enough to sell her on the gig. How surprised she was to see the Bulma, the character she was going for, to always be wearing crowns around the Top Popular 5.
If everything works out to her agent's and her own expectations, then there was a big opportunity dangling around everything relating to "Creed".
It may just be a voice acting gig but Courteney Cox still did her best to snag a role. With acted Creed fan enthusiasm and better qualification from a music video and tons of commercial experience, she really went all out to get the part.
She was way too opposite from a certain little somebody that wanted to argue out of a part.
Courteney Cox was as enthusiastic as her 'Random Guy' counterparts, however, she had much secretive agendas added to her Creed Animation enthusiasm.
According to her agent and following Hollywood "rules", meeting an elusive producer like Sullivan Creed was great but she could also try forming connections with a much mysterious Alexander Creed.
One was the owner of everything Creed while the other was the undoubted source that powered everything.
Courteney had no idea who she would encounter by being Bulma but she had already willed herself to do her best.

The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now. Cover art is by Jack0fheart [Participant in the 2021 Royal Road Writathon Challenge for the month of November 2021]

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
