Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

In today’s Reddit news: the mods of the Procreate subreddit took down someone’s artwork of Master Chief in front of the trans pride flag, saying that it was too politically charged for the current climate. Reposts, comments criticizing the mods, or general pro trans art are also getting deleted

Hopefully I don't jinx things, but since I've been posting that 'Voice Over Opportunity - Short-Term Narrative Project' scam emails call out post going out around a week ago, I've noticed I haven't been getting them nearly as much. Maybe they've started to wise up & wind it in?

I'm one of the few non-binary voice actors who has vocally transitioned while recording. Here's an example of a role I worked before and during puberty: Enkidu from the FATE series. I've also authored trans-centric speech therapy curriculum alongside trans Speech Language Pathologists.

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.

Let's see if this reaches Bluesky better if they care about Voice Acting as my original post only got 1 like & NO congratulations. This is my first Non-BInary character I am voicing in my VO career. I am incredibly proud to be voicing them as a Non-Binary/Queer voice actor myself.

I've finally done it. I've watched K-Pop Demon Hunters. And yeah, I understand the hype and say it's well worth the craze it's gotten. It's a great film, many of the song are bops. It was a pretty great time!

🎙️ ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT 🎙️ I am beyond ecstatic to announce I’ll be voicing Kade Burns in Travel Trials: Greek Galivant! ✈️🇬🇷 Thank you so much to the The Travel Trials team for having me. The whole cast & crew are stellar! You don’t want to miss this one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI68...

Back from my fortnightly DnD session. Down half my usual size group due to many irl factors, but those who showed up still had a heck of a time. Our DM did such a fun game and it gave me small courage to try & do bits more RP that I’ve always struggled with.

As a Non-Binary Voice Actor who struggles to get work due to my queer identity, seeing many voice actors in the industry suddenly show support for people like me & other minorities, all at the same time, while a nice gesture, does come across as a bit opportunistic.

I'm not a big name in the VO scene, but as a Enby VA myself trying to get by when I can, it is beyond terrifying to be one of us right now in so many parts of the world right now. Seeing fellow colleagues come out & disregard people like me is truly disheartening.

If you hide your gender identity to fit in, never feel like you've betrayed yourself🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 It's proof that you have a beautiful and kind heart. Chiitan will continue to send out messages until the world becomes a place where you can live with confidence and be yourself.

Sorry I've not been super engaged on Bluesky lately, I've been super engrossed playing Hades 2 & Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds the past few days in between my IRL job/life & health management. I likely will be for the next few weeks, basically until Pokémon Legends: Z-A comes out.

Automatically insisting what someone’s gender identity SHOULD be (read: should NOT could) based on how they look/act is toxic as fuck. ESPECIALLY when you’re attacking the person who fought for actual YEARS for queer rep and had their show cancelled for it.

It's time gamers! Here's to getting fully absorbed into Hades 2 for however long this will take me. Death To Chronos! #Hades2

I made the decision to step away from many voice over projects I was part of recently due to my overall health & personal life taking unfortunate turns this year. I'll still commit some projects I am in + audition for occasional work & classes I have vast interest in. (1/2)

Not me buying one of those 2 for £10 umbrellas from Sports Direct yesterday and then losing one one THE. SAME. DAY. I. BOUGHT. ONE. 🙃

Just in case people here aren’t aware, you can follow me on Instagram at ‘RhysinsVA’ if you feel like giving me a checky follow on there. I forget I have certain socials, but I do have an Insta that I need to use more often.

I remember auditioning for this around the end of last year. It's a shame I never got the chance to be part of this fun looking project, but with a stacked cast like this, I'm sure it'll turn out great!

Going through Date Everything, and if there's ever an opportunity for more characters to be added down the line. If there's ever a need for any Welsh voices down the line & they need some voices, well, I'm a Non-Union Voice Actor looking to showcase my voice over talents.

A common phrase gets thrown around in voice over that "auditioning IS the job" 🤔 I partially disagree. It's part of the job, but it's really only a small part. I'm a full time voice actor, and I really only spend maybe 10% of my work time in the booth. I'll elaborate! 1/12

Thank you so much to everyone who has liked, shared & commented on my original 'The Perfect Prince Loves Me, the Side Character?!' anime dub voice over role announcement. It really does mean the world to me, especially here since it shows there are people here who genuinely care about me.

Genuinely thinking of deleting my Bluesky. Me sharing my anime dub voice over debut, the biggest honour of my VO career so far, on this platform & it getting such abysmal notice/care from my 900+ followers has been one of the most soul crushing experiences I’ve had being on this website.

The sheer dichotomy between my Bluesky & Twitter announcements in terms of engagements (posted at the same time btw) is staggering. I have less than a third of the followers on Twitter compared to here too. Explain how THAT works Bluesky. Anyone? *speaks to the void that is my 'followers'*

🎙️ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT🎙️ Better late than never on my end! 😅 I'm elated to reveal I'm making my anime dub debut in 'The Perfect Prince Loves Me, the Side Character?!' as 'Hooded Man'. Thank you so much to @ascendentanimation.bsky.social, Ocean Veil & @nsipstudio.bsky.social for giving me this honour.

So when you guys do you daily calls today you should ask mastercard what illegal adult content they found on these content creation platforms. Tell them to make names. When they give you the runaround say "but what have you found that's illegal". They won't because there was never an investigation

Caught up with everything: I am angry, disappointed, but mostly, I'm hurt that a once seemingly good natured VA put their victims through so much behind closed doors. My heart goes out to them all. The predatory things this person did have no place in the VA world or any world.

Hey, everyone who is calling Mastercard and Visa about the age verification BS. I think you should start aiming at YouTube as well.

I know what I can do for one of my first drawing back into digital art work. It may take awhile though as I need get back into the regular drawing swing, let alone the digital side of things. Coming from the first session of my DnD campaign has me pretty inspired for sure.

⚠️ If you are a queer creator that was recently delisted by Itch, reply to the quoted comment, please. ⚠️ I didn't have any content on the site, but I've been seeing LGBTQ creators talk about being delisted since the sweep & I don't have the means to go dig them all up in my Bsky feeds

Every UK petition is like this

A lot of NSFW content has been removed from places like Steam and itchio recently, but you might not know this is actually the result of a campaign that has been going on for decades. Here's how anti-porn groups got the power to censor the internet. youtu.be/SmHHnPLllUk

You're not alone. Please know that by reading this far into my post, some part of you truly believes this. You're not alone.

So fun fact, I have a bachelor of arts in 2D animation. Yet it's been so long since I've drawn anything I need ideas of what I can draw. Give me ideas of what I can draw and I can maybe post some stuff down the line!

Time to look for some good VPNs in the UK now. God this country blows, and it'll only get worse when the new people get in next year too. 🙃 Should I jump on the Proton bandwagon or go for something else? I have multiple devices though so Chances are I'll have to pay...

This whole Steam/itch.io 'adult' content situation is really vial honestly. May as well just throw in LGBTQ+ people in the mix too at this point. But nah, I'm still here trying to make a living no matter what happens.

On itch io, payment processors, and the developers and creatives affected I wrote about the itch deindexing, stripe, a religious group & a call to action + shared amazing words from 25 affected creators who took their time to write me. 🔁 RTs Appreciated 🔁 #itch #indiedev #visualnovel #comic #novel

Alright sure: one like, one opinion that’s not politics

Admittedly my planned voice over few days hasn't been as active as I'd like it to have gone, but it hasn't been AS bad as I thought it would go. Small progress it better than no progress!

As a struggling voice actor who's employment search isn't turning up great as IRL does not look at neurodivergent people fondly & paid voice over gigs aren't turning up much luck lately, any and all support sent my way would be immensely appreciated. ko-fi.com/rhysins

Starting my first proper DnD campaign after a fun one-shot yesterday from a previous one shot after inviting a few new people. Can't wait to get this one going!

I'm not the best with keeping up with my social media platforms, but I'll try to be more active on Bluesky for you all, especially as I have my biggest following here. It'll give you all a reason to keep up with me you know? To those who have stuck with me, thank you all so much!

This is crazy good news for #VoiceActors #VoiceActing #Voiceover What a win. We love to see it.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Life as an actor.

Just done filming 2 out of 3 days of filming live acting as an extra for a Welsh production company I had on my bucket list for many years.
