I wanted to be a professional VO actor. I got to do a few things, but not enough for it to be fully sustaining. Once my daughter was born, I decided enough was enough and we moved out of L.A. and back to Indiana where we came from so my daughter could be around her grandparents and I could be with those same people in their last years.
So I do wish I was still doing it sometimes, but if I hadn't given it up when I had, I wouldn't have been able to be with my father and help him through his dementia for the last years of his life and my daughter doesn't have to go to a shitty L.A. school (not that Indiana schools are a massive improvement, but still better than the school where we could afford to live).
And now AI is going to destroy that whole industry anyway, so...
