About Me
Welcome to my main personal website!
My name is Dane Spurrell and I was born 11/09/1990..., 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..., feel free to do so.

From within the 90s - 2005
I was pretty much just doing my own thing..., but offline, as I never had a computer of my very own to work with and was only very limited to using either my mom's or sister's computer.
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 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 the concept of a Facebook group (made for voice talents and content creators) and instantly fell in love with it. From there, I was also invited to help run the group called "YouTube Voice Actors" and so I did... from somewhere in 2011 to 2013.
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 main owner only ever popping in every now and then... just to say in short... "Good job. Keep it up."
Which later changed in Summer of 2013, when the other two who had invited me 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 I did for the growth and productivity of their group, for their very own.
As a result, I 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 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 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 I had made from running the previous group agreed to be mods for it. We had our fun goofy times and kept things nice, light and bright. But as the group grew... that slowly faded... and the other mods left, as their interests and focus began to change... and I was left to ultimately run it alone for a while.
I mean... over time... a few of them returned to help here and there... but they ultimately left due to being attacked by the members whenever they tried to say or share something...
So... can't really blame them for losing interest in the group.
Things continued to escalate yearly... and as a result... to try and fix the problems, I actually had to go and produce several spinoff topic groups like...
- OVAA: Pro
- OVAA: FAQ
- OVAA: Projects Only
- OVAA: Entertainment
- OVAA: Paid Content Only
- OVAA: Non-Paid Content Only
just to make people happy...
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 later revived it in the form of a remake and then made it usable to the public again on 06/01/2018.

2018 - 2021
After I had shut down my main original All in one OVAA group for a while, my focus turned to the OVAA Spinoff groups, as well as the what we are going to call sister group, (Originally owned by Tara St Michele.)
A group called "Voice Acting Alliance (Unofficial Group)" as I had been dragged into it some time 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 hijacked from me by the other mods..., and they pulled a mutiny and changed the group into something it wasn't 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 other mods, 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... they're now 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 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 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.
