About Me
Welcome to my main personal website!
Hi, my name is Dane Spurrell. 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.
Hopefully if all goes well... we can collaborate under the right conditions.

From within the 90s - 2005
To start... for the first 15 years or so of my life, I was just focusing on doing my own stuff offline as I never had a computer of my very own to work with. The only computers I've ever had access to, were both my mom's computer, and my sister's computer. And my time with them were... let's say... very extremely limited.
Then somewhere in 2006 - 2010...
I finally received a computer of my very own to work with. But strongly lacking in support for my own creations as I was a nobody... I later thought to myself... might as well branch out and just offer my services to others instead as maybe then I would hopefully finally make at least a few other like minded creative friends..., and maybe with any luck, they'd help me with my own content in return.
Then between 2011 - 2013...
Upon finally making some new connections and friends..., I was introduced to a Facebook group called (YouTube Voice Actors) which was made for voice talents and content creators to all come together and work together and I personally instantly fell in love with the concept and I was invited to help run it which I did from somewhere in 2011..., all the way up to Summer of 2013.
Over time, the two who had originally invited me went missing, as well as the original 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 then later changed in the Summer of 2013.
Eventually the two who had originally invited me finally resurfaced... as well as the main owner... and the main owner, chose to flip and rage at me claiming that I wasn't doing my job correctly, only then to turn around and try 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..., "What should I do next?"... I made many new friends and contacts... It was to the point where most actually thought that, that group, was mine... especially after all the work and 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 to myself..., maybe perhaps... I should just... make my own group.
To which 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 had agreed to be mods for it. We all had our fun goofy fun times and kept things nice, light and bright... But as the group grew over time... that slowly faded..., the other mods chose to leave as their interests changed... and I was left to ultimately run it alone for a while.
Eventually over time a few of them did return to help here and there..., but they ultimately left again largely due to being attacked by the members whenever they tried to say or share anything within the group... So... can't really blame them for losing interest in the group and also as time went on... things just continued to escalate and progressively get worse 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 VERY MASSIVELY out of control. But later revived it in the form of a remake and 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 who really knows...?
But moving on... Tara St Michele eventually chose to leave as she wanted to focus on her own stuff. Which then meant that 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 groups were hijacked from me by the other mods that I had allowed to be mods as they all went and pulled a mutiny on me and changed the groups into something they were never suppose to be... and due to these new directions that they all wanted to take, the groups became a huge controversial mess... and as a result, I really no longer wanted to be a part of them so I simply left to give them all peace of mind.
On 03/28/2021... I left my own revived main All in One OVAA group... shut down all of thee other spinoff groups..., the website, YouTube Channels, as well as every other related thing, as it was going under new management. All thee other mods claimed they could do better. I thought about how poorly I was treated over the years by the community, 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.
I only stuck around for as long as I did as I had lost to Omar Martinez, (one of the original mods), 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 current mods at the time got their way. I just didn't deem it worth fighting for, and sticking around any longer.

Which brings us up to the "Here and now..."
To finally rap things up and conclude..., life basically just returned to how it was before I knew of the groups. I'm just back to doing my own thing again. Just drifting from one thing to the next in a simple nutshell and to be absolutely clear... my services are still open and available for all those who seek and require them, provided we can of course come to a workable agreement.
So If after reading all of this and you are still interested in collaborating together and you are hopefully... (Not an Abusive Individual), who'll also respect boundaries and time difference..., please feel free to [Contact Me] and hopefully, we can be compatible together... and try to work out a workable deal that works for the both of us. ^-^
