Starr Luctus; Voice Actress
EST - Available to chat 24/7 - Willing to Voice Act in anything
Pleasure to meet you! My name is Starr, I'm a Voice Actress that specializes in emotion, and bringing a sense of realness to the Characters I voice act in. I specialize in Voice Work, although I can do many other things, it's the one thing that truly brings me joy.
The story that made me begin Voice Acting;I was about 13, a cold December morning, I got up early, I didn't have school since it was the Holidays so—As any kid would, I got on my favorite Video game,ULTRAKILL.If you know anything about the contents of that game, you already might know where this is going.I had just began getting into the game, and I was loving it, but what made me have my revelation was the level "6 - 2, Aesthetics of Hate". I hadn't thought much of the Voice Acting at the time, I had seen the Boss Fight with Gabriel's voice, it intrigued me but nothing more. Until 6 - 2, when I began the level and heard Gianni Matragrano's delivery of Gabriel's speech, it changed my entire perspective of Voice Acting all together, I thought it was just something that was a pretty cool addition to games and shows, but I never really paid mind to it. But after hearing the pure emotion in Gabriel's speech, I realized how much deeper Voice Acting ran, and at the current time, I had nothing to live for, I was miserable. I had nothing I wanted to do with my life, nothing I felt like I could do with my life. I had no will to live, nor motive. But after I really read into Voice Acting, it became my one goal. And when I revisited that ULTRAKILL level, hearing Gianni's speech for the second time, I just stared out my open window and had one thought; "I need to be a Voice Actress". And for the first time in years, I felt hope, I felt I had found a way out of the dark place I was in. For a few months, I practiced Voice Acting, and honestly, almost gave up a few times. But I didn't let myself, I knew it was going to be hard. I hated the sound of my own voice. I thought I was never going to become a Voice Actress, but I sucked up my own self-loathing, and tried to join a project. It was the first project I was in and I had no prior experience. But to my surprise, I was casted as a character. Unfortunately, the project was horribly operated and owned, but they got the old (Fired for being Toxic) Voice Actress for Paimon from Genshin Impact to watch the Voice Actors voice the Manga Panels. I was already super Anxious since that was my first time, but that was amplified by the fact I had a Voice Actress for (at the time) one of my favorite games watching, so of course, in my first impression I stuttered—Messed up lines, and completely fucked up the Panels I read aloud. The feedback I got was what I was dreading. She spoke to all the Voice Actors BUT me, she refused to. She said I was a terrible Voice Actress and that I needed to quit before I embarrassed myself. I felt sick to my stomach for weeks afterwards, and wanted to quit, before I remembered why I began in the first place, and I felt spiteful, I felt like I needed to prove myself. So, I kept going, and trying to put myself out there more and more, and now almost 2 years later, I'm in several Projects, and I haven't been happier, with so many people thinking I'm a professional, people genuinely wanting my work and thinking that it's an honor to work with me, it's the light in my life.
A bit of my life outside of Voice Acting;I enjoy Cooking and Baking, and I love listening to music above all.I'm Alternative; Specifically Traditional Goth & Punk. I'm also Vegetarian, and have been for a year now.I enjoy making Music, Writing, Drawing, Clay Sculpting, and making Expressionistic Art and Literature as well.I'm very opinionated, and quite political. I do not believe in conventional religions, as I'm an Agnostic Atheist, but I will not force my beliefs onto anybody, I support people believing whatever they feel connected to.I support LGBTQIA+ heavily, and I'm an avid supporter of people expressing themselves freely. I believe people should be able to do whatever makes them happy without judgement as long as it's not illegal, immoral, and not hurting anybody or themselves.I love Expressionistic art pieces, Horror, and Literature. Psychological horror is my favorite genre of horror though, things that are unsettling, uneasy, or just give a sense of paranoia I feel connected to.My favorite overall Genres are Trad Goth, Punk, & Shibuya Punk, while my favorite Music Genres are Gothic Rock, Nu Metal, Hip Hop, Electronic, Heavy Metal, & Punk.
