“Indistinguishable from real humans,” proclaims HeyGen, an AI tool that creates avatars from photos and video. In this video Alistair Hepburn, Executive Director of ACTRA Toronto demonstrates this technology, which is frighteningly easy to access and use and proliferating more every day.

i just think if you’re hot, you shouldn’t have to learn how to parry

I joined in the midst of two strikes, so I’m still trying to make up the income I lost from foregoing NU work. Some clients flipped so I could work, others chose to use the IMA. I hope every day that we can collectively convince larger clients to flip so voice actors can make health insurance.

MYTH: Union-Only actors have enough work to justify switching without a hit to their finances. FACT: Union-Only actors have decided to protect their minimums by working to flip their existing clients to union contracts, and often take a hit when initially making the switch.

If you think you’re safe because they aren’t targeting you, you’re next. The assault on free speech is just another thing they are piling on to overwhelm us. It’s all related. Call companies, call or snail mail your reps (or if you can, show up in person). Chip away until they can’t ignore you.

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

Not to be confused with biweekly, which is every two weeks.

Inspired by @datlow.bsky.social & @thehighsign.bsky.social, I just submitted a comment on ABC's decision re: Kimmel. Join me? support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...

Trans people are cool, like this shirt

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

Watch The Bear if you want to see great acting. Especially cool to study how the actors react without speaking. Some scenes in Season 4 went on way too long though.

This is every piece of dialogue from The Bear season 4 #bb27

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

Mr. Roger's mom told him when a bad thing is happening on TV etc & one is feeling scared, “Always look for the helpers. There will always be helpers.” Always strive to be a helper in life.

What an expertly called shot

This venus fly trap is like my career (and my social life) Every time I think it’s dead, I give it a little food and attention, and it fights to live on.

LA friends! Our fantasy short is coming to Burbank AMC this month! Sept. 26th at 5pm as part of the Burbank Film Fest! 🍿 www.mintrixfilm.com/upcoming-scr...

Incredibly grateful to @pcgamer.com for sharing about our Games for Palestine charity bundle. Thank you so much for the coverage!! ❤️ www.pcgamer.com/games/you-ca...

🚨Voice Actor in Crisis🚨 My dear friend and father of 2, @terranceaddisonactor.com ended up in emergency surgery last night. His prognosis looks good but he's uninsured and he and his girls need all the support we can muster. Please give / boost! gofund.me/85a3b0de

Happy Labor Day 🙂

"Dragon Ball" and "Attack on Titan" voice actor Mike McFarland is fighting brain cancer. Here’s how fans are supporting him with a GoFundMe.

Absolutely voted for @marinmmiller.com as a strong representative for all voice actors in the union.

If you've felt like voice actors don't have enough of a voice (pun intended) in SAG-AFTRA, this is a great way to change that. I'm casting my vote for people I know care about the future of our industry!

CODA believes the best way to improve the standing of voice actors in our industry is to push for positive change from within. These six voice actors are running for office in SAG-AFTRA and we encourage you to include them in your voting selections.

Last but not least! Part 6 of 6. Movement performers make us voice actors look damn good; more often than not, without recognition. This leaves them vulnerable to exploit. Vote by September 12th, and let’s take a small step toward giving them the fair treatment in the workplace they deserve.

BREAKING: Donald Trump wants to fuck your children, RFK Jr. wants to kill them, and the rest of the GOP just want to shoot them.

Fans and Talent alike need to know that the (anime) convention atmosphere is going through another major shift - this time, one that pushes the cost onto *you*, the attendee. More and more larger events are beginning to adopt a model where they offer table space to industry vets at THEIR expenses.

Part 5 of 6. Love to see someone who has done a ton of on-camera, including serving on committees, coming to bat for voice actors 🧡 Vote by September 12th!

Check out an article I wrote about @kestinthevoice.bsky.social and this very special milestone he reached. P.S. the anniversary is tomorrow. I released this the day before. But the video will be released tomorrow! medium.com/@graves.bria...

Part 4 of 6 Not that he needs an introduction… but ICYMI, Tim has done so damn much to protect voice actors at the federal level. Check out NAVA while you’re at it navavoices.org Vote by September 12th!

My birthday wish is for you to donate to my friend Mike’s Go Fund Me if you’re able to, and to share it! There was an update posted yesterday, please give it a read. Thank you guys ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...

It’s my partner @marinmmiller.com’s birthday today! It would mean a lot if you could either wish them a happy birthday or share the link below! <3
