You really must be healthy since it's been 4 years since your last cold. I mean I'm only 23 and 3 weeks ago I made a very uncomfortable move and hurt my back due to the spinal disc falling out of it's place. Very hard to work now as I'm not allowed to do a whole lot of things if I want to get better and not end up having an operation. Very insightful video and please keep em coming since all you make is great for the soul!
James, I've watched your videos for the past six months or so and wanted to say thank you for posting this. As a VO person myself I can absolutely feel your pain but appreciate your optimism. I look forward to more of your posts when you're back to 100%. Stay awesome! Domingo
I just want to say thank you so much for all the advice you give the first time I listened to your podcast I got quite emotional because it felt like a one on one conversation with you and you said something along the lines of "Whatever it is you want to do I believe in you and I'm praying for you" and to some I know it seems like such a small thing like 'oh surely he's just saying that' but it was exactly what I needed to hear to help me through as Obi-Wan would say the dark times God bless you James I pray for you and your family every day.
@@JATactor Oh absolutely wouldn't miss it. Been such a huge fan of your work between just Johnny Test and Obi-Wan you were my childhood. I'm sure you get this a lot and I hope it doesnt bother you to ask this but what advice would you give to an aspiring VO specifically about finding an agent. Being such a small town person I am the worry of being scammed is constantly in my head anytime I think of starting my own hero's journey hope you have a great rest of your day/week God bless
Great video. I could not agree more. A few years ago a cold had taken most of my voice away, and I had only two days to recover before teaching a class at an event that happens once a year where I live. Fortunately a lot of your videos came to my mind, specifically those where you explain how taking lots of 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 helps you take care of your voice, so I decided to drink as much as I could those two days. Long story short, 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗱!, my voice was far from perfect, but I could carry on the class without much problems. Thank you!
Yes been waiting for this one!! With the deep breathing, another thing to try to strengthen your diaphragm is hold for another few seconds after blowing out, it's harder than it seems
Very insightful! Thank you! We actually did that deep breathing thing in my Intro to Theatre class during our voice unit as a way to increase our lung capacity :)
Yeah, it does happens unfortunately, (If only people who are sick would Stay Home!) but we are still Humans at the end of the day, Bro.JAT. Oh, by the way, did you get my InkTober Fanart sketch "Day 24"? It's yourself. Hope that you enjoy it when you get a chance. Always inspired and blessed by your wisdom and faith.
I hope you and your family are safe from the current fires that are going on out there. Praying that you all will remain safe in His keeping (and that your house will, too).
Praying that you feel better JAT! Glad we got a vlog! Also, I think you should take communion. It symbolizes the healing we have in Jesus through his sacrifice. It’s helped me through strep and other colds. God bless! 🙏🏾✌🏾
Sitting here with an allergy attack and putting off studio time until the sneezing and the tickling stops. I have a small window before the sleepy side effects kick in where my nose is clear and I can record. Lol. Best advice I ever got was pain is a signal to STOP USING YOUR VOICE The only reason to ever dull the pain is to get through a performance only.
That's alot of stuff😱 idk if it's just my norwegian blood speaking, but whenever I get a cold(which happens like every winter), I just go about my life as usual😂 I don't use my voice to make a living, but still. Unless I get fewerish or get to the point of not being able to breathe at all, I just go to work as usuall🤣 But we're all different🙂
Hm... I've read that colloidal silver is pretty much... *not* doing what it says on the tin. Well, I mean, if it's not broken, don't fix it, but I doubt it's the silver that does the magic. If you feel like changing up your kit (or if you find yourself in a part of the world where colloidal silver stuff is nowhere to be found), that gel is likely the safest thing to start with.
Uh oh... you can break blood vessels when you blow your nose to hard...?? I've done a bunch damage before.. I'll be sure to re-work myself and try to resist the angry temptation to blow my nose hard.
I just scored my first voice over gig ever a couple of weeks back. And now, on my 3rd recording for the show.. I feel a cold is lurking in on me. Itchy throat and caughs. Voice still intact though..barely. For a beginner It is for sure..a nightmare 😖
Do you recommend keeping the voice warmed up when you're sick, even when you don't have a session? I've found that it helps me recover quicker from a session with yelling or a sore throat, but do you recommend it for a cold?
You can back track 2 days to how you caught the cold, got it. Side note: With your hair grown out more and the facial hair, you look a lot like Mark Hamill when he has facial hair!
Do what I do if I am an artist at a con, being hand sanitizer, since you are touching a ton of stuff and shaking hands and whatnot, keep your hands clean!!
I cannot deal with this wretched man. Doing my absolute head in. Shit skills, get an actual job. Indoctrinating the sheep with your talentless lifestyle. Give it a rest. All you are is earths flatulence. Don’t even sound like obi wan. Time to stop. Wouldn’t you agree?
What do you look like? The mistakenly revered artist bores our ears again with more pointless waffle. Shit voice actor with about as much talent as I have patience for this tit. Quit voicing obi wan because it’s completely wrong. Obi wan has an English accent so stop getting it wrong. And by the way, it’s TRANDOSHAN, not tranSdoshan. Think you’re about ready to retire.

Praying for you to feel better sorry to hear about that! Thanks as always!!
@@JATactor thank you very much James!
I’ve missed these types of videos. I enjoy hearing you talk about the world of voice acting in more of a vlog format.
12:40, matched the lip flaps perfectly. Voice actor detected.
All you have to do is switch Yuna into your party and use Esuna
Simple!
(Hope you get better James ur awesome ✌
Should have used nulall.
Just need a remedy.
James, I've watched your videos for the past six months or so and wanted to say thank you for posting this. As a VO person myself I can absolutely feel your pain but appreciate your optimism. I look forward to more of your posts when you're back to 100%. Stay awesome! Domingo
It's amazing to hear Tidus talking about his health after 17 years, I love you James.
I just want to say thank you so much for all the advice you give the first time I listened to your podcast I got quite emotional because it felt like a one on one conversation with you and you said something along the lines of "Whatever it is you want to do I believe in you and I'm praying for you" and to some I know it seems like such a small thing like 'oh surely he's just saying that' but it was exactly what I needed to hear to help me through as Obi-Wan would say the dark times
God bless you James I pray for you and your family every day.
So glad it makes an impact in your life. Hope you get to listen to this weeks upcoming podcast cause it's more of the same positivity!

We love you OBI-WAN
Cold: I am inevitable...
JAT: And I... am... Obi-Wan...
Love to see the return of the JAT Vlog :) Also it was amazing getting to meet you at NYCC!
James being my replacement for a CVS clinic for 27 minutes and 19 seconds
Thanks for the precious, based on experience ,advices!!
Very insightful! Thank you! We actually did that deep breathing thing in my Intro to Theatre class during our voice unit as a way to increase our lung capacity :)
I'm drawn to the old school light switches outside the pantry, but also great advice as I am on the tail end of a cold.
HA! Yes, I put those in myself, they are awesome! Good eye!
Hello again Master Taylor this is Jedi Master Luke at your service, you sure look handsome.
Yeah, it does happens unfortunately, (If only people who are sick would Stay Home!) but we are still Humans at the end of the day, Bro.JAT. Oh, by the way, did you get my InkTober Fanart sketch "Day 24"? It's yourself. Hope that you enjoy it when you get a chance. Always inspired and blessed by your wisdom and faith.

I found this video very interesting. It's definitely helpful!
Praying that you feel better JAT! Glad we got a vlog! Also, I think you should take communion. It symbolizes the healing we have in Jesus through his sacrifice. It’s helped me through strep and other colds. God bless! 🙏🏾✌🏾

Legend :)
I would normally buy some Halls super mint cough drops, they always worked never failed me once.

Get well soon james!
This is from back in March, I'm all better now : )
Uh oh... you can break blood vessels when you blow your nose to hard...?? I've done a bunch damage before.. I'll be sure to re-work myself and try to resist the angry temptation to blow my nose hard.
Oh dear I hope you get well soon. 😊
Kurai Cecilia Tsukino this was back in March I’m all better now.
Oh, okay good to know
Your voice sounds completely different sometimes, I hope you get well soon JAT!
I'm all better this was recorded in March
dang that concoction sounds like wake up juice from back to the future part 3
I just scored my first voice over gig ever a couple of weeks back. And now, on my 3rd recording for the show.. I feel a cold is lurking in on me. Itchy throat and caughs. Voice still intact though..barely. For a beginner It is for sure..a nightmare 😖
Try eating a few spoonfuls of honey (get the good organic stuff) every few hours too. It'll help kill the bacteria in your throat
Do you recommend keeping the voice warmed up when you're sick, even when you don't have a session? I've found that it helps me recover quicker from a session with yelling or a sore throat, but do you recommend it for a cold?
You can back track 2 days to how you caught the cold, got it. Side note: With your hair grown out more and the facial hair, you look a lot like Mark Hamill when he has facial hair!
Was wondering when you'd post this
I hate feeling my nose skin after/during a cold. Feels to... ugh to me..
The skin feels so cracked and gross. 🤢
Have you tried sinus flushing? Nothing knocks a cold out faster and it's drug free since it's saline solution. Hot tea and honey for the throat.
I take a hot shower and make a cup of hot water with Emergen-C, it clears my sinuses and then I don’t sound nasally and crummy.
Do what I do if I am an artist at a con, being hand sanitizer, since you are touching a ton of stuff and shaking hands and whatnot, keep your hands clean!!
Where is part 2?!
Hello there
Hello there!
General Kenobi...
I got a horrible cold right now
Seattle classic get every famous actor sick.
Drink lots of OJ.
The blood of Jesus can heal the "common cold"!
😂
I cannot deal with this wretched man. Doing my absolute head in. Shit skills, get an actual job. Indoctrinating the sheep with your talentless lifestyle. Give it a rest. All you are is earths flatulence. Don’t even sound like obi wan. Time to stop. Wouldn’t you agree?

Quit voicing obi wan because it’s completely wrong. Obi wan has an English accent so stop getting it wrong. And by the way, it’s TRANDOSHAN, not tranSdoshan.
Think you’re about ready to retire.
Personally I think Ramen is good for a cold. I also down a lot of Both DayQuil and NyQuil... Get better soon.
