If Larry looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, loves being a duck, and is willing to put in the hard work to be a successful working duck, he is for all intents and purposes a duck. A duck learning to duck better is still a duck. A crappy duck is still, regrettably, a duck.

And even if Larry does get good, chances are a gig that pays the industry standard isn't gonna take a chance on him if he isn't even willing to call himself a duck. To me, you gotta be willing to call yourself a duck if you wanna book that first gig, and long b4 you actually do.

But even then, my original tweet had nothing to do with "practical tips on succeeding in the industry", or implications of using the title, and everything to do with wholesome personal growth as an actor.

Just as a curiosity, Cor. As someone who went through the work of taking classes, has done unpaid walla in anime that has been featured on TV, has a professionally done commercial demo, but hasn’t booked a named character role, would it offend you for me to call myself a VA?

No, because you got screwed. You should have been paid for your work in walla. That is unfortunate that that happened to you and everyone should get paid for their work.

But with the classes and the demo then yeah you would not be a professional. Anyone can get themselves classes and a professionally done demo. Just like anyone can buy a plane and take flight lessons but that doesn't make them a pilot.

I got my first walla session not even a month or two after I started pursuing voice acting. So I guess I was a pro then? I think it’s very sad to hear that that is what is important, not the years of learning and money spent on classes and a demo to hone those skills

There are babies that get sag within a few months of being born but they are making money. It is a shame that you would look down on my skills as a child actor when I started when I was working and working really hard. There are people who book the lead role in there first

Audition! And only had a few months of classes too! But you look down on their skill? They just picked it up faster. For some people it takes longer, and for others it wasn't meant to be otherwise we would all be actors, presidents, and CEO's but we all aren't and that's life.

But I can tell you that if you don't respect this industry, you won't get anywhere either. There are some people who are WAYYY more successful than I am and they just started but I'm not going to tell them "you only had a few months of classes so you're not a professional!"

My point was, the work in getting that walla session that you currently view as the deciding factor of whether or not I can call myself a voice actor pales in comparison to everything else I did afterwards.
