no. everything you do every second of the day has a effect on the development of your brain, no matter how arbitrary.

The real question is: plastic; which parts are useful to you, where as others are useless.

those things that cause the greatest plastic in the areas of desire, is largely gray and unknown at this point.

Correlation does exist, but it's all more so about which tasks will cause the greatest disposition of neurons.


I should make a graph on this or something..... hm..

I dunno. Just looked it up, and it seems like the results of testing were more forged than anything.

Also, there are much better ways to increase intelligence other than arbitrary games. things such as practicing logic, mathematics, critical thinking, studying grammar and etymology, etc.

It all depends really. The landscape of music that falls under the category "techno" is enormous!.. no joke. You have to listen to a lot of stuff before you get a feel for what you particularly enjoy the best.

Here's a nightcore remix of Tiesto

...Family, huh? Someday I'd like that too, though probably not in the same way as you. I'm not the kind of guy who could ever handle being married or having kids of his own. Not in my nature, I guess one could say. But if I could have people around who really understand me and shared my interests and desires; that's my idea of family.

Hey, have you ever gone out to the countryside and seen the night sky without any of the city lights around?

I get what you mean. And yeah whenever I hear Johnny its ALWAYS the same. Unlike Vic Mignona or whatever his name is.

Well a goal is to probably become a vet, but I'd really just want to have a family. I'll be happy just as long as I have a steady job and a family as well

Oh so that's how you get to learn about how to be the voice of the character. But still it sounds like a hard thing to do.

Yeah I just didn't like that I had to hear him in bleach and then that was over and then had to hear him in code geass.

Ok ok I get it. Makes sense but how do you think he does it so that he IS the character. Cause you voice actors just get a script and nothing else. So how can you tell how a character is supposed to be based on just that?

Yeah kind of like some of the best voice actors I have ever heard.

What do you think about Johnny Young Boch. lol.

Lol. Yeah, something like that. Though my favorite way of putting it comes from Crispin Freeman. You see, when he finds himself behind the mic, he believes the best way to give the very best performance that he can is to cease to be himself and become the character that he is portraying. He never says he's playing anything, but rather is the character for that time he's behind the microphone. It's near impossible to describe with words, but it's a very high level of acting that's simply breathtaking to watch and hear.

I want to be able to reach that level myself one day. To be able to identify and know one's character so strongly that you can connect with it on a level to impact those around you in a profound and moving way.

Hopefully you fell into the category of quick to adapt. If not I hope the classes at least helped immensely. You know what they say, hard work pays off immensely. Or something along those liens. OO;;

Ok ok. So like, you get the script and you sort of "feel" how the character will be and you make your voice sound accordingly. Something like that?

Wow that's really good exercise. Maybe Siggy should try to do the same thing as well cause my voice is horrible. Siggy don't like. People say it okay but...I think its yucky yuck. Bleagh.
