I knew that Singapore RQ was going to be hard. I was terrified coming into this space as a content creator knowing that casting is a profession and career and it hasn't been MY profession or career. I felt like I was taking a space from someone that could do a better job than me - someone that wants to do this full-time and as their main source of income. I was right about Singapore being hard, but I didn't know that the challenge of casting for the first time would be so much fun and give me so much perspective. It changed me as a person and changed my understanding of the Production space. After putting my heart and soul into casting the Singapore RQ, I hope that my passion for this game came across and you were all able to enjoy the show because of that. Now I don't feel like I'm taking a space reserved for someone else, instead I feel that I can work hard to earn my place. If I am asked to cast again, I feel confident that I can do an even better job in the future. I want to thank @RiftboundRamble for reaching out to me with the opportunity, @DimiccoDiana for encouraging me to accept it when I was so uncertain, and @TronGumby , @graemedutoit , @JaydenPerry_ and @BensLodge for helping me prepare so thoroughly for something so foreign to me. I also want to thank the crew, and @ursiiday , @SamMorrisIam , @civicevic and @dvcky_ for being my emotional support team and just amazing humans. But most of all I want to thank @CasanovaCasts . He took me under his wing with the intention of making me the best caster I could be and he truly carried this event. We had a lot of discussions about casting and he opened my eyes to so many things. I don't think I've ever trusted someone so wholly with my work and my reputation and he truly was my saviour and my rock over the RQ weekend. Finally, thank you all so much for being an amazing community and audience and for the words of encouragement and support. I couldn't have done this without the Riftbound community behind me.
