RiverK's News

Posted by RiverK - February 8th, 2024


It's been a while, and I have been busy. I didn't want to box myself in as a 'jack of all trades' (true as it may be), but there were other facets of creativity I wanted to explore. I am currently a dubbing coordinator at a global localization company, and my VO career has been picking up traction. I am currently composing for a stealth action game, and a small cast audiobook (for which I am also adapting/casting/directing). And to top it all off, I'm still a single dad, in a relationship, and we just bought a house.


But I had some stuff I needed to track for my sanity, and my own creative growth and fulfillment. I started an ambient side-project called 'studioSomnia' which is my first real conceptual music project. I've released three albums on most/all streaming platforms, with NG being the drawing board. It's done entirely to my own tastes, and it's hard enough trying to convince people to cast you as a voice talent, so I'm not marketing this at all. I'm hesitant even to post this and claim it under my own name, lest the two identities water each other down or something.


But on the other hand, this is NewGrounds. We're all about encouraging creativity in all its forms. I believe so fervently in that mission that I am paying for NG subscriptions on both accounts. And if you are here, it is because you are here for that, and will likely only appreciate the opportunity to hear more. I will still post random audio experiments here, but if you are looking for something more than a loop, please consider checking "me" out.



BONUS: Also updated SAVE STATION with tricks I learned from this project.

About a month ago, NG user rugly asked me to record some audio logs for his next game, which is now available on Xbox 360 for 80 points/$1! I also have 5 free game codes! And am really trying to embed some fucking video, but NewGrounds is being a bitch about it!

Fucking old-school LINK to the video God DAMN IT

Now the rest of you can lose to General Gauis, on your fancy, liquid-cooled nerd machines.

"Dust: An Elysian Tail" is now available on Steam, for $15! Featuring a generous handful of NewGrounds regular voices!

Plus, if you buy between now and May 31st, you'll also get a 10% discount!

CHERISH IT.

"Dust: An Elysian Tail" is now available on Steam!

Check it out! I play "Booker" in this flash by new collab channel "The Friend Ship!"

Bioshock: Infinite Hunger

EDIT: I can't figure out this stupid NG dynamic link thing. Looks like a pretty boring post compared to my youtube embeds.

Check this out! I was recently very fortunate to be involved in Alexander Crowley's most recent claymation short! I play the "Executive," and had a lot of fun working with him on it.

And not just because I'm in it! Though it certainly doesn't hurt.

Maybe it's just me, but for a while there, I felt machinima had a bit of a stigma for mostly being poorly-made (and thinly-veiled) Red Vs. Blue knock-offs and "TOP HUNNERD WAYS TO DIE" videos. But then I was approached by a small group of filmmakers who actually care about the craft that is machinima, and they've been gracious enough to throw a couple roles my way! Most recently, we've started working on this series, which I'm having a lot of fun with, recording alongside my roommates Joey Rannalli and Megan Parks.

I recently played the role of "Ether the Moon Prince" in the PC RTS "Heroes of Newerth!" I owe many thanks to Ed "Darkwolf" Bosco for the audition, and you can find quite a few other NG actors among the other characters!

Remember my "River Atkin Downes" demo?

I don't usually do dubs, but seeing as how this has yet be officially dubbed in English, I figured if I was gonna do it for anyone, it'd be CPMStudios. I play "Kaz Miller," alongside Kamran Nikhad and Timothy Weaver. Produced by Erick Mattos.

Hello fellow Engies!

So, I didn't make as big a deal of this (here) as I should have when it was announced, but I was the voice of "General Gaius" in "Dust: An Elysian Tail," the critically-acclaimed Xbox Indie featuring many other NewGrounds voice actors. Most of them posted here about it, but I didn't feel my following here was all that large, so I posted everywhere else it would actually be paid any attention to.

If you own an Xbox, and have yet to play this game, now is the time. It's on sale for 600 points! Being a gamer, I myself have thoroughly enjoyed playing it for it's challenging platforming and beautiful design (and finally being immortalized in a game doesn't hurt my rating either).
