I can't withstand to do such a cringy thing.

First animation = 3 Months

Very minimal parent intervention. I am very proud of that animation, and it also gets daily third and nominated for best animation of the month

Second Animation = 1 Month

Significant parent intervention. Story kinda controversial and joke could only be understood by several people, barely proud of it.

Third Animation = 1 Month

High Parent Intervention. Only motivated on animating head turning, that's why it's smooth. Barely proud of it

Fourth Animation = 1 Month

Longer animation was canceled due to parents starting to RUSH me, then they disliked it and asked to start over. I rushed and created it. This time, i stopped using voice due to change of script and a possible increase of parent intervention (I can't keep asking people to do voice acting unless i can pay them). They ordered me to make animations in 1 WEEK. I am NOT PROUD of the animation. Duration now cannot reach 1 minute, i refrain from posting it from newgrounds due to high blam risk

Fifth Animation : 1 Week

Starts using text, duration is below 1 minute. Already finished, but parents criticize it, so i took the video down and revise it. They asked me to use my voice rather than texts, i asked them back, they refuse to be voice actor which is something they FORCE ME TO DO. Using my own voice will give me CRINGE extreme enough to make start twitching (People often cringe when hearing their own voice) and CRINGE itself destroys my motivation a LOT. Extreme parents intervention. Still NOT PROUD of the animation.

I cannot be like this, i do accept to be given a deadline of 1 month. But... 1 WEEK is just too much! And what's the worst part? THEY TAKE OVER MY ADSENSE INCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I listened to NG response about my previous post, none of them worked out especially my dad is a short-tempered person, telling what i feel or arguing something to him will make him mad and i have to get through 2-3 hours long of intimidation.

I can't move out if i can't secure my income yet.

there is a good book for talking to short tempered persons
called crucial conversations
as for your voice just get used to it
and you could try to change it(voice acting)
soo you dont hear the voice you are used to
and as for ad income i dont know anything
because i have never won any money doing animations
would be interested on how you do it

hope everything goes well

Don't have any advice on the parents situation, can't really help ya there. But as far as the voice acting situation goes, I used to cringe hard at my own voice too. I used to significantly alter my voice with effects and such to get it to not sound like me. Then at some point I sort of realized that a lot of people also feel bad about how their own voice sounds (because when you hear it as you speak it sounds differently as a result of the sound traveling through your jaw into your ears, as opposed to through the air into your ears), when I didn't really think their voices sounded bad at all. What that meant was that it presumably went the other way too. Just because I disliked my own voice didn't mean that other people did too. Now I just kind of go for it, and even if I think it sounds bad, I bear in mind that other people don't think it's as bad as I do.
I hope that maybe that can help a little bit. Good luck with your situation, I hope you're able to get it resolved!

That's really weird. Why do your parents care so much? They should encourage you to do animation but not be overbearing. Do they think that you're making animations specifically for them? It almost feels that way with how you're describing it. I don't know how to help except to ask them if they can back off (politely) because you want to just have fun and be creative with your stuff.

R-U-D-E 2018-07-31 22:01:43

Heh... i can only make them 'back off' by moving out. :/

They aren't asking me to make animations for them. But they keep mentoring me like some sort of veteran animator and youtube analyst by telling me their 'theories'.

Telling them changes nothing.

Your parents are using you like Michael Jackson's parents used him as child. This isn't right. You should talk to a social worker or something.
