1Hey guys, I've been a fan and reader of TV Tropes since 2012 and started contributing in 2015. My primary contribution is the SoYouWantTo/BeAVoiceActor page (still a work-in-progress).

3My hobbies include web-surfing ([[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife especially on TV Tropes]]), watching [[WesternAnimation cartoons]] & {{anime}}, reading {{manga}}, {{literature}} & [[{{Fanfic}} fanfiction]]; playing {{video games}} & [[{{TabletopGame/Poker}} poker]] (only for fun), practicing martial arts, singing and [[VoiceActingTropes voice acting]].

129[[folder:Personal Tropes]]
130!!This Troper provides examples of:
131* TheNineties - My childhood.
132* AdjustingYourGlasses: Pushing both lenses, while my hand covers my face
133* AmbiguousDisorder: Never been diagnosed, but I have no social skills, low attention span, tendency to ruminate (and hold grudges), blunted emotional affect, and fearful-avoidant attachment. I've ruled out schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders and antisocial personality disorder. Probably some form of schizoid or paranoid personality disorder?
134* BerserkButton: [[TheBully Bullies]], {{Blackmail}}, [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Bribery]], [[ControlFreak Control Freaks]], ExecutiveMeddling, [[{{Hypocrite}} Hypocrites]], [[JerkAss Jerks]], [[{{Narcissist}} Narcissists]], [[BanOnPolitics Politics]], [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Racists]], [[SmugSnake Smug Snakes]], [[TheCaligula Tyrants]], and [[UngratefulBastard Ungrateful]]/[[EntitledBastard Entitled Bastards]]. Ironically I enjoy acting them in villainous roles.
135--> '''[[Film/AustinPowers Nigel Powers:]]''' "[[HypocriticalHumor And the Dutch!]]"
136** Multiple midrolls
137** [[Main/WordCruft Overly-long explanations.]] I believe in "[[Administrivia/BrevityIsWit less is more]]".
138*** Explainer videos that take too long (and often digress), when I could just skim the transcript.
139*** I dislike reading long papers and hated having to write them.
140* BoringButPractical / TheReliableOne
141* BrownEyes: They fit me pretty well: down-to-earth, trustworthy, generic and unexceptional
142* BrutalHonesty: Struggling with this. I'd prefer to say and hear a succinct, blunt truth ([[PoorCommunicationKills with explanation]]) rather than sugar-coating it. On the other hand, I understand that this is usually [[DontShootTheMessage not a good way to talk to people.]]
143* ButtMonkey
144* CaffeineFailure: Caffeine barely affects me. Despite all the coffee and energy drinks I chugged in high school and college, they never woke me up.
145* CantHoldHisLiquor / TheTeetotaler: I don't drink alcohol, mainly because of the taste. Makes me useful as a designated driver for family and friends.
146** I once had a shot of vodka on my 21st birthday. It made me dizzy.
147* CoolBigBro: I'd like to think so. We enjoy a lot of the same activities.
148** BigBrotherMentor: I help my little sister with her homework.
149* TheComicallySerious: Probably because of my deadpan tone.
150* ComfortFood: Fresh bread, rice with sesame oil, sunflower seeds (preferably unsalted), and soy milk.
151* CompressedAbstinence: Was addicted to anime and video games back in the day. Nowadays, I'm so busy that I get my fix with a quick LetsPlay or just 1-2 episodes on work days.
152* ConsummateLiar: Rarely exploited, but I can tell believable lies, sometimes through ExactWords, MetaphoricallyTrue or white lies. Helps that I hardly change my face and tone.
153* CovertPervert: Enjoys {{Fanservice}} ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial and not just the pervy kind]]), DoubleEntendre, HoYay and GettingCrapPastTheRadar.
154* CreativeSterility: My biggest weakness. Because of this, I HATED writing assignments in school and to this day, I haven't written a story or composed a song that I'd be proud to share. [[TerribleArtist And I can't draw]].
155* CreepyMonotone / DullSurprise: My natural speaking voice
156* CrocodileTears: Pretty good at doing this despite not being very emotional
157* DeadpanSnarker: [[WorldOfSnark Just like everyone else]]
158** StepfordSnarker
159** TheSnarkKnight
160* DidYouThinkICantFeel
161* DoIReallySoundLikeThat: My natural voice sounds awfully nasal when I listen to a recording of it. Sometimes I sound like I have a cold even when I'm fine.
162* DoesNotLikeSpam: Alcoholic drinks, avocados, bean sprouts, egg rolls[[labelnote:*]]specifically, the steamed vegetables they put inside them[[/labelnote]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jajangmyeon jajangmyun]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japchae japchae]], wasabi and basically anything with too much cream or condiments[[labelnote:e.g.]]cakes with too much frosting, salads with too much dressing, sandwiches with too much mayo, etc.[[/labelnote]]
163** While I can eat most vegetables just fine (as long as they're not overcooked), I still haven't gotten over my childhood hatred of [[StockYuck green beans and brussels sprouts]]
164*** I enjoy raw or pickled radish or cabbage (especially ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi kimchi]]'') but I die a little inside when someone boils/fries cabbage.
165** And I actually like spam, though I only eat it occasionally due to its high calorie and fat content.
166* DullSurprise / [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Guy]] / TheStoic: Not very expressive
167* EmptyShell: I sometimes feel like this after a bad day.
168* EveryoneHasStandards
169* ExtremeDoormat
170* FaceOfAThug: Moreso when I [[BaldOfEvil shave my head]] and wear [[TheGlassesGottaGo contact lenses]].
171* FascinatingEyebrow: I can manually twitch my eyebrow.
172* {{Four Eyes Zero Soul}} / StoicSpectacles: How I usually appear.
173* TheFriendNobodyLikes
174* FunnyCharacterBoringActor
175* TheGenericGuy / RidiculouslyAverageGuy
176* GuiltyPleasure: Enjoys BishoujoSeries, SillyLoveSongs and SoBadItsGood cartoons & movies (including {{Creator/Troma}} and [[SummerBlockbuster summer blockbusters]])
177* HedgeTrimmer: Occasionally on [[Wiki/TVTropes this very wiki]], but often when proofreading scripts.
178* IJustWantToBeBadass: Studied martial arts and enjoys action films.
179* IJustWantToBeSpecial
180* {{Jerk with a Heart of Gold}}: At best
181** {{Jerk with a Heart of Jerk}}: At my worst
182* KnightInSourArmor: Let's just say, I don't have much faith in today's [[ObstructiveBureaucrat bureaucrats]] or [[HeadInTheSandManagement authority figures]].
183* LargeHam: On stage or in front of a microphone
184* MasterOfNone: Pretty good at martial arts, singing, beatboxing, voice acting, poker and video games, though not particularly outstanding.
185* MenDontCry: The last time I cried was when I was watching Film/ForrestGump at age 10.
186* MotorMouth: My conversational talking speed is around 180–200 words-per-minute.[[note]]The average English speaking rate in the USA is [[http://www.ncvs.org/ncvs/tutorials/voiceprod/tutorial/quality.html 150 words per minute]][[/note]] When I focus on talking fast, my speech rate goes up to 250–300 words-per-minute. I try to tone this down for my voice-acting.
187* NeverBeHurtAgain
188* NoSenseOfDirection: Which is why I'm a below-average driver
189* NoSocialSkills
190* NotAMorningPerson: If I had my way, I'd spend all night playing games or watching shows.
191* NotDistractedByTheSexy: To the point others may think I'm gay/asexual. While I like {{Fanservice}}, I honestly don't understand how people lose their minds over it. Maybe I have a reduced/repressed sex drive?
192* OneNoteCook: I can make ramen, eggs, rice and [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs egg fried rice]].
193* ThePerfectionist: My [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/el.php?findfor=PSColdFire edit history]] is mostly minor edits.
194* PerpetualFrowner: My friends tell me that they can't read my face (I usually emote solely through voice tone and body language, [[DullSurprise if at all]]). Makes me pretty good at poker.
195* TheQuietOne: Because of an unfortunate tendency towards the following:
196** OpenMouthInsertFoot
197** ThatCameOutWrong
198* SelfDeprecation: [[SarcasmMode ...Naw]]
199* SmugStraightEdge: Can proudly say I've never used any kind of drugs (outside of prescription medication)
200* TheSouthpaw / ASinisterClue
201* SugarAndIcePersonality: I'm normally cold, polite and professional. With friends I'm all jokes and smiles
202* SirSwearsalot: Used to be this until high school. Now I rarely use profanity unless an acting role requires it.
203* TechnicianVersusPerformer: I'd like to be the latter, but I'm a Technician. Nothing seems to come naturally so I have to repeatedly go through step-by-step instructions, think things through much of the time, and ask for copious advice and feedback. [[FleetingPassionateHobbies Unfortunately takes the fun out of a lot of new hobbies I've tried]].
204* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fried rice, sushi, fresh bread, fried noodles, burgers, pizza, potato salad, ([[BigEater well, I like a lot of things, really]]).
205** I also have a soft spot for candy corn, carrot cake, cheesecake, ice cream cake, jerky, mozzarella sticks, onion rings and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jwipo 쥐포]] (Korean fish jerky).
206* TheUnsmile: Don't ever ask me to smile. I know how to fake a genuine smile[[note]]use your whole face (especially the eyes), not just your mouth[[/note]], but I can't smile naturally
207* VerbalTic: "I mean...", "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh boy...]]", "[[SarcasmMode Wonderful]]" and "''[[PrecisionFStrike fucksicles]]''"
208* [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi]] / YuriFan: Fond of HoYay and FoeYay (to say nothing of canon pairings), though only if I believe them to be plausible and healthy relationships
209** For example, I'm supportive of [[HoYay/SherlockHolmes Johnlock]], [[HoYay/AceAttorney WrightWorth, Klapollo]], [[HoYay/AxisPowersHetalia GerIta]], [[HomoeroticSubtext/{{Wicked}} Gelphie]], [[HoYay/MarvelCinematicUniverse Stucky, Captain Falcon]], [[HoYay/{{RWBY}} Bumblebee, White Rose]], [[HoYay/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica HomuMado]], [[HoYay/HarryPotter Sirius/Lupin]], [[HoYay/KingdomHearts SoRiku, Roxel]], [[Manga/AttackOnTitan YumiKuri]], [[HoYay/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilestia, RainbowPie, RariJack, LyraBon]], [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} HamiLaurens,]] [[Literature/LesMiserables Enjolras/Grantaire]], [[HoYay/WarriorCats Ravenpaw/Barley]] etc.
210*** However, I do NOT support [[Franchise/HarryPotter Drarry]] or [[HoYay/{{Naruto}} SasuNaru]] except parodically
211** [[ShippingGoggles Of course]], I'm equally supportive of [[HetIsEw Het pairings]] too: [[Manga/{{Bleach}} IchiHime]], [[Manga/{{Naruto}} NaruHina]], [[Franchise/HarryPotter Harmony]], [[Manga/FairyTail NaLu]], [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Namixas, SoKai]], [[Anime/CodeGeass KaLulu]], [[Manga/AttackOnTitan EreMika]], etc.
212* YoungerThanTheyLook: I've looked over 30 since high school. Facial hair also adds to the effect.
213* WeightWoe: Gains weight VERY easily. Tries hard to lose it (pretty sure I'm an endomorph).
214* WellDoneSonGuy: My parents were top students back in their day so I feel obligated to get a stable, respectable job to make them proud. While they've been supportive of whatever path I take, I still feel I'm wasting my degree on my voice-over aspirations.
215* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: '''[[SlasherSmile ...RUN]]'''
