Voice actors, producers, directors: I welcome people to cold-contact me on social media, and on places like Discord. Totally fine. But with all the hackers around, please make sure your initial message states who you are and what you want. If you just say “hey”? Insta block.

Killing the free tier while drastically reducing the quality of subtitles and closed captions for dubs is such an arrogant way of doing business.

This is a decision that can only happen when the people who founded the company lost sight of the reason they established this tier / how they themselves started. The whole reason that simulcasting+free ad-supported tiers were innovated in the first place was to deter people from pirating the shows!

So people who do actual work find AI to be useless and executives find it can do their job FOR them. 🤔 I, hmm, I wonder what that means we should do with executives.

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

This seems like a cool idea! 1 like = 1 YouTube video I like!

I was taught early on and my voice acting career that we should avoid fandubs, because it’s a good way to get blacklisted from ever working in anime. That it’s disrespectful to the actors who worked on existing dubs, and it’s a copyright nightmare.

HELL YEAH, HENRY, YOU KEEP GOIN' BROTHER

Hi everyone, I'm struggling a bit financially so as awkward as it feels posting this I'm reminding y'all you can donate to me through my bandcamp (jazdog.bandcamp.com). It's 100% optional but I would super appreciate it. And if you do donate tell me in the replies so I can thank you.

Oh yeah. This account exists. I forgot. youtu.be/t8Hd4SKy99g?... I lead this fan project for @audioanomaly.bsky.social last month, as the start of a new interconnected audio drama universe. Starring, written and directed by yours truly. If you ever wanted to hear me as Batman, here you go!

@audioanomaly.bsky.social is about to hit 4k subs! Do you like Marvel comics? Do you like audio dramas? Check out our reimagining of these characters in an audio format! And if DC's your thing? The DC Audio Drama Universe starts this year, too! Come check us out! www.youtube.com/@audioanomal...

It feels like literally everyone I know within my social circle is lamenting that the amount of time they need to commit to “income-producing activities” in order to keep on top of rent/debt/loans has completely robbed them of chances for self-fulfillment *unless* they sacrifice said time elsewhere.

Holeeeeeee shit. Give it up for @graphicpolicy.com reporting on a new bombshell. Why did Alliance bail on their Diamond purchase? Now we know. graphicpolicy.com/2025/04/29/a...

I hope they never fix the Warhammer 40k sign, for it is perfect

youtu.be/T2su3brzclI?... Apex Shadow episode 8 is now live, starring @starlinglee.bsky.social and myself, and a breakout villain performance from @gwenleitner.bsky.social! Plus great performances from so many wonderful people! Check it out! #audiodrama #podcast #superhero #voiceover #voiceactor

Me: ”Hey, wow, I think I did a pretty damn good job on that audition! Awesome! I feel really good about this one!“ *gets dismissed in less than 20 minutes Well, let’s just all sing the fuck me song together, I suppose! :p In all seriousness, you can’t win ‘em all, obviously. But man!

So one of the largest voice acting platforms out there requires that if you have a project that is 18+, it has to go in the NSFW section. And apparently, if it has ANY sexual content, even if it’s implied/non-explicit, it has to be paid. On paper, it sounds nice, but in practice, what a headache.

Oh come on, not again!!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Disrespecting real artists, voice actors, and replacing it with AI is unacceptable! Do better for god sake! This is why SAG-AFTRA members are on strike, fighting for AI protections! (Everyone, please do not cross the picket line during the strike)

Since I'm out of work right now, I'm trying to really lock the hell in on my voice acting. Thirteen-day audition streak, and going strong. I haven't managed this level of consistent auditioning since my grandfather died last year. Go me, I guess!

www.castingcall.club/projects/har... [Unpaid] Casting Call for Hardcase & Vixen is up and running, and you can go audition right now. Which you should. Are you sleeping? Why are you sleeping, when you could be auditioning? Go, go, go!

New episode of Lost Thing is out now!!! #simsmachinima ▶️ youtu.be/0_vJPzjEfKY?...

If I see one more fucking machinima series called a “VO series” but all the voices are AI, I’m gonna crash the fuck out.

Had the pleasure of reading the first issue of Exquisite Corpses from @jamesthefourth.bsky.social & Michael Walsh. A hell of a debut and will entertain as much as it's going to terrify with this secret history of America in Late Stage Capitalism. Pre-order it and thank me later.

The fights in Hardcase & Vixen were originally going to be way more grounded, but the more I film shots for the casting call trailer, the more I want to go full superhuman wirework martial arts. I think it would really add to the surrealist anime-esque vibes. #simsmachinima

"DOGE got rid of people who were looking after nukes & then tried to hire them back. They got rid of people who were trying to fight Ebola & tried to hire them back...people who were trying to fight bird flu & tried to hire them back. The whole thing is a disaster." - me vs GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Embw... Just some of my fav moments as a voice actor in the #simsmachinima community! Links to the creators who made the shows featured here are in the description. =) All my Sims stuff is gonna be on this channel now, so if you're into that, you should subscribe!

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security. More of this please.

Redesigned Fallon from my new #SimsMachinima series, Hardcase & Vixen. Trenchcoat instead of the turtleneck, and facepaint rather than shades. (The “Arrow” school of murderous vigilantism!” :p) I love her so much.

This panel from The Department of Truth #28 hit real hard, and I have to thank @jamesthefourth.bsky.social for the words.

I love finding out that a show I’m in was canceled via secondhand information, instead of, you know, the cast server. Great stuff. Wonderful, really!

youtu.be/w5amqbJiXy8?... The latest episode of Spider-Man: The Audio Drama is here, written and directed by yours truly! Thanks again to the crew at @audioanomaly.bsky.social for helping to make this project happen! More coming soon!

[Unpaid] Hey, voice actors! I run an original superhero audio drama, called Apex Shadow. Currently looking for a deep black masc voice to take over for one of our regular supporting characters, a tough but lovable police captain. Drop your demos if you’re interested!

Apparently this is my first ever post on here? 😶 Anyways, I miss the community so I’m going to try to be more active here! I also just posted a new episode of my series the other day if anyone missed it! Attachment Theory | Episode 11: "The Third Degree" | Sims 2 Series youtu.be/ynbWaoEzYBs

For so many reasons. (Reposting with alt text.)

There's an unpaid project making the rounds, and for my money, the micro-managing and quality expectations on display are ridiculous for volunteers. I still do volunteer work. I love it. If I have the time and like the vibe, cool! BUT-- you have to be mindful of how you interact with your crew.

Finished the pilot script for my new #simsmachinima series, Hardcase &Vixen. I have to go back to work in a couple more weeks, but I’m hoping to finish the casting call trailer by then! Once it’s done, it’s off to the races!

I love being a dad.

My heart sank reading this. Wes is a dear friend and a beacon of hope. You may know him as the Oblivion guard voices, Fawkes from Fallout 3, and the Silver Shroud from Fallout 4. He gives so much of himself for charities and to help others. Now he needs our help. Please, please share. Thank you. ❤️

✨WHEEZING✨

Sims peeps! I miss reviewing #SimsMachinima with my friends, desperately. I have a Sims channel that I’ve only put one video on so far. I have lots of ideas for content, but I was hoping to livestream some reactions to machinima. Anyone willing to volunteer their show for reaction? Just curious!

So if you're not in my VA server, you probably don't know: We just took in three foster kids-- twin one year-olds and a four month-old. If you need lines from me, please try to be patient. My world just got flipped upside down. Currently relaxing for the first time in 48 hours. ;)

Voice acting update-- mostly healed up. Certainly not the worst Covid run-in I've ever had. Should be good to record again either tomorrow or Wednesday. Thanks again to everyone who sent me their well-wishes, it was very sweet of you!

Update on the plague. It was, indeed, the plague. Covid positive. At least they took me out of work until Monday night, so that’s something I guess!

Rest in peace, David Lynch.

Dear God, so much shit I’ve observed across my VA spaces today. Something in the water. There needs to be a conversation about how to talk to and manage volunteer VAs. People can be so rude, and their expectations way too high. I’ll make a video eventually, but in short… have some goddamn grace.
