I can strongly recommend Shotcut for video editing.

It's not web-based, but it is 100% free. It crashes sometimes, but I've been able to do some REALLY nice work with it, and there are lots of online tutorials to do various things. Smoothest learning curve of all the free editors I've tried.

For me, it's a full-body exercise.

Changing voices is more than just tongue position and vocal cords. Try tensing different parts of your body and seeing how that affects your voice. How does your voice change when you move your mouth to the left side of your face and restrict your lips from opening as much? What about if you squint your eyes, tense your neck and tuck your chin down? If you stretch your eyebrows like you're surprised and try to open your mouth as much as possible with each word? What if you shake your body, talk with your hands, and use an exaggerated underbite?

You're going to look goofy, but you'll get some interesting results. Record yourself in a mirror to determine what actions you took produced which results. If you hear something you like, focus on repeating and tweaking those actions to hone your voice into what you want it to be.

I've been using your site for years, and I absolutely love it. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to get my company to abandon their photoshop subscription for your site.

Do you have a patreon? I'm sure plenty of people would love to support your work passively.

What percentage of your work comes from ACX vs private publishers? Can you describe your transition from ACX to publishers? Are there other platforms you would recommend besides ACX?

The consensus is that getting out of the ACX slog and working direct with publishers is the way to make money and waste less time in the industry. I'm still in the ACX portion of my journey, and man if they don't make life unpleasant sometimes.

How overblown are the reactions by Americans about Ebola?

It's my understanding that unless you have the equivalent of fluid-swapping contact with an ebola patient, you're perfectly fine and have absolutely nothing to fear. Is that correct?
