About Me
Welcome to my main personal website!
Hi, my name is Dane Spurrell..., and I was born Nov 9th, 1990... which makes me a Scorpio. But I'm sure that's not what you're here for.
My interests are in voice acting, audio editing, drawing..., fiddling with animating here and there from time to time..., and playing video games in short.
If you wish to continue reading on..., please feel free to do so.
Hopefully... we can collaborate under the right conditions..., and hopefully, I can be of use to you.

From within the 90s - 2005
I was pretty much just doing my own stuff..., but offline, as I never had a computer of my very own to work with.
And whenever I finally did have access to using one..., my time with it was very limited as it was either my mom's or sister's computer.

Then somewhere in 2006 - 2010
I had finally received a computer of my very own to work with.
But strongly lacking in support for my own creations..., as I was pretty much still a nobody..., I later thought to myself... "Might as well branch out, and just offer my services to others instead..." as maybe then..., I'd finally at least make a few other like minded creative friends, and maybe..., just maybe..., in return, they'd help me with my own content.

2011 - 2013
Upon making some new connections..., I was later introduced to a Facebook group (made for voice talents and content creators) to all come together, and I instantly fell in love with it.
From there, I was even invited to help run the Facebook group called (YouTube Voice Actors), and so I did..., from somewhere in 2011, to 2013.
Over time, the two, who had originally invited me went missing..., as well as the main owner, of said group..., thus leaving me TO DO ALL THE WORK, after they made me a mod... with the group's main owner only ever popping in every now and then, just to say in short..., "Good job. Keep it up."
Which than later changed in Summer of 2013, when the other two, who had invited me finally resurfaced, as well as the main owner... and the main owner, choosing to flip and rage at me... making a claim that I wasn't doing my job correctly.
Then turned around, and tried to take all the credit (that I did) for the growth and productivity of their group..., for their very own.
And as a result..., I just quit... and went on my way.

2013 - 2017
After I left (YouTube Voice Actors), I just sat around for a few days... and wondered..., ("Well..., what should I do next?")
I had made many new friends... and contacts..., and it was even to the point, where most of these people actually thought that, that group, was mine. Especially after all the effort I put into it.
And deep down... I didn't want to just... throw it all away... and have it all be a complete waste.
So I thought..., maybe perhaps I should just, make my own group..., so, at 11:50pm, on 08/09/2013, I did.
And it was called (Online Voice Actors Actresses.)
Things were fine at first...
A couple of friends that I had made from running the previous group agreed to be mods for it.
We had our fun goofy fun times, and kept things nice... light... and bright.
But as the group grew... that slowly faded... and over time the other mods left, as their interests changed... and I was left to ultimately run it alone for a while.
Over time..., a few of them did return to help here and there..., but they ultimately left, due to being attacked by the members whenever they tried to say, and or share something... within the group... So... can't really blame them for losing interest in the group.
And as time went on, things just continued to escalate yearly..., and as a result..., to try and fix the many growing problems... I actually had to go and produce several spinoff topic groups like the following... just to make people happy...
- OVAA: Pro
- OVAA: FAQ
- OVAA: Projects Only
- OVAA: Entertainment
- OVAA: Paid Content Only
- OVAA: Non-Paid Content Only
And eventually, on 11/30/2017..., I ended up having to kill off the main original (OVAA: All in One group), as it had gotten so MASSIVELY out of control.
But than later revived it, in the form of a remake, and then made it usable to the public, on 06/01/2018.

2018 - 2021
What I did in the mean time, after I had shut down my main original All in one OVAA group for a while, was turn my focus to the OVAA Spinoff groups, as well as the what we are going to simply call and refer it to as... the sister group. (Originally owned by: Tara St Michele.)
A group called (Voice Acting Alliance Unofficial Group), a group that I had been dragged into at some point in 2014..., and had at some point, become a mod for it... as people kept mistaking it for my group... for some strange reason?
Probably because it shared many similarities, is my guess.
But moving on..., Tara St Michele eventually chose to leave..., as she wanted to focus on her own stuff. Which then meant I then had to adopt it, as part of the OVAA family..., but then on 02/06/2021... I too, also chose to step down as well... as the group was basically hijacked from me by the other mods..., and they pulled a mutiny, and changed the groups into something it was never suppose to be...
And due to the new directions that they wanted to take... the groups... became a huge controversial mess... and as a result... I no longer wanted to be a part of them. So, I simply left... to give the others, peace of mind.
And then, on 03/28/2021, I also left my own revived main All in One OVAA group, and had also shut down all of the other spinoff groups, the website, YouTube Channels as well as every other related thing..., as it was going under new management.
The other mods, claimed that they could do better..., I thought about how poorly I was treated over the years by the community..., and how increasingly ungrateful many seemingly were becoming..., and just... took this, as my way out.
So now, they, are all free to do whatever they wish... and how they wish.
Like honestly..., I only stuck around, for as long as I did, as I had lost to Omar Martinez in a game of Super Smash Bros 4.
True story. (Also RIP in the shadow realm possums. Sorry I couldn't save you.) Yes... I gambled the lives of possums... leave me a lone...
But... "ahem"... back to the main thing... The other mods got their way. And I just didn't deem it worth fighting for and sticking around any longer.

Which brings us up to now...
To finally rap things up..., life basically returned to how it was before I knew of the groups. And I'm just back to doing my own thing again. Just, drifting from one thing..., to the next, in a nutshell.
