This affects you - the audience - more than you think. Because there are no residual payments on videogames, many actors rely on convention appearances as a replacement income. Because cons = $, cons have begun expecting talent to make it through YOU (no appearance fee). You’ve been tip-cultured.

Took a much needed rest day yesterday - both from social media and just life in general. Despite many disappointments, just remember that there are always glimmers of joy and hope. What is YOUR glimmer this week?✨ Share something you're looking forward to or gives you joy!

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either. If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

The discourse following this will amount to “so much for eurogamer’s review mattering” But this only reinforces how absurd it is to not use traditional voice actors instead of feeding their voices into a machine. You’re this successful, after your previous game made millions? What is the excuse?

Interviewed an audio director recently who told me how an *iconic* character catchphrase came from the voice actor improvising in the booth. Using AI voices robs you of the chance for spontaneous, funny, ad-libbed performances that could help define your game.

Some of the most well received missions I wrote for Borderlands 4 were largely due to the voice acting. Yes, the script was good, but the voice acting could have taken that script and made it a boring/forgettable mission or one you'll remember for years to come. And that happened in the booth.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

Several actors I know have already received this scam impersonating Dean Panaro Talent. There are many red flags here, but an agency reaching out on official business would send it from their actual domain (@ deanpanarotalent.com) not a burner Gmail account. Stay safe!

🎉🪄ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT🎉🪄 So excited to be in not one, but TWO new @dorklybits.bsky.social videos! It's always so fun working with Mike and team and I can't thank them enough for including so many of my insane/wild reads for both of these animations 😂🫶 youtu.be/T3IOKThJDLA?...

One way to measure progress, in my opinion, is this: Being able to play your own person as a character in a story and sensing your authenticity is fundamental. Being able to feel that same authenticity with a character who is ✨vastly✨ different than you is progress. One character at a time. 💪❤️

I miss you, Billy Kametz. I miss your distinctive voice, and infectious enthusiasm, and the way you brought a sense of ease & optimism everywhere you went. I miss when I could pick your voice out in a cast but only got more excited when I did bc I knew you cared. I miss you so much. Fuck cancer.

Hey y’all, I’ve been seeing reports of tons and tons of email scams going around lately regarding audiobook VO. These emails will often come from a random Gmail address, use generic wording (ex: “we were impressed by your website”), and provide little to no information about the supposed job.

🦇A special monologue for spooky season!🎃 #TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals is a favorite of mine, so in addition to all the banger songs, I wanted to shine a light on how GOOD the script is, too! What do you all think? Any other monologues you'd like me to record? Let me know! 🪄

Here's a little Behind the Scenes video I just made for "Vandre Sul". Just gives the inspiration for the characters and the project in general. I hope this is as fun for you to hear as it was for me to record. ❤️ youtu.be/_GDGGJ58RJ8

If you breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8, it tells your body you’re safe. This slows your heart rate, relaxes your nervous system, and helps shift you out of fight-or-flight mode. Now do it.

Hey Voice Over Bluesky, there is a Voice Over scam going around about a 'Voice Over Opportunity – Short-Term Narrative Project' that uses the exact same copy/paste text but replaces the names/emails and either uses the company name as 'BACKSTAGE' or 'Workana'. Be wary everyone.
