We need more video game companies to sign union contracts. Also, we need voice actors to support one another in unionization. Y'know, so we can make the industry better for everyone? Just a thought.

I'm trying my best. @voicetraxwest.bsky.social

God this thread is depressing.

Did you know that union membership is a pathway to healthcare? Our Freelancing Committee has been taking steps to make it a reality and it's one of their major goals. Until the US gets universal healthcare, you deserve coverage. Studios shouldn't be able to wiggle out of a system THEY helped create.

It's glorious to watch these dramatubers eat each other alive. As soon as the opportunity arises they gladly make content burying one another. Hopefully one day YouTube finally cracks down on these yellow journalists like Mujin and deletes their channels. But for now I'm just gonna enjoy.

Word of advice: don't move to LA thinking you'll make it as a voice actor if you haven't taken any singing classes. That's what I did six months ago....God I'm stupid.

How exactly is passing a bill in honor of some goober from Jubilee videos protecting free speech? He was just a guy who kept bothering college students because he had nothing better to do with his life. Saying students can't walkout or protest is literal fascism.

All it takes is the whole internet agreeing that the Trotskying-out of a piece of work is indicative of the creative bankruptcy of an entire industry, and justice can be done.

>want free speech >bans free speech

Hey wouldn't it be nice if online fandoms would stop trying to gatekeep the media they like with toxicity and elitism? It's ok for people to have a casual interest in something!

“Why does it take victims of SA years or decades to speak out?” It’s because society keeps protecting horrible men from consequences.

Meowth, trans rights! 🩷🤍🩵

Hoyoverse kept their options very open unfortunately as seen with their recent job listings. Yet no matter how clear it was that Hoyo wanted to implement Gen AI the online sections on reddit and twitter were more upset at the striking workers for inconveniencing their precious gacha games.

I been buying some Pokémon cards recently to help teach my younger students how to read, write, and draw. Seeing so much degeneracy around Pokémon TCG is sickening and worrying. Pokemon is mainly for kids. Scalpers are disgusting.

No amount of Coachella sponsorship money is enough for us to forget that Starbucks is the biggest violator of US labor law in modern history. Don’t buy Starbucks until the company does better. No contract, no coffee! nocontractnocoffee.org

Indie game devs may be interested in the Student and Game Jam Interactive Waiver Agreements, or the Tiered Budget Agreement. With these, you can use SAG-AFTRA members (such as me) in your indie games at little or no cost! www.sagaftra.org/production-c...

It's pretty fucking crazy how someone wouldn't stop harassing me for over a year yet the very second I clap back they whine about being "attacked." Talk about cry-bullying ffs.

The UTLA strike may or may not be happening depending on how members vote. Either way Teachers deserve better pay and treatment. I hope all my fellow educators receive their demands.

Have to re-record an audition today after listening back. The audio recorded on audacity sounded way too echoey and muffled. And no matter what I tried nothing made it sound better 😕

Drop the r-word, the frankly even worse made-up variations of that word, or any ableist slur and you catch an immediate block, no questions asked. This shit is personal, and even if it weren’t, get fucked.

"Pwetty pwease daddy YouTube can you let me post my grift videos so I can avoid having to get a real job! I'm so sorry for not abiding certain rules in order to harass people cause I have nothing better to do in life!"

I get some voice actors are excited at the idea of a potential Hoyoverse anime from Mappa. But like, why are you so eager to work for a company that fired your striking friends and is so diehard on gen ai? Why this company? Why hoyo for crying out loud?

Alright which one of you losers keeps screenshotting my posts to those ugly gross loli lovers on Twitter. Fess up now. Instead of being a bitch actually say something to my face. I'll even send you the zoom link myself.

Dark magician girl in the 1996 era pokemon style

Next time I order a macbook I'm getting it in person instead of this delivery nonsense. Because Jesus holy fuck trying to get a package I paid for should not be so goddamn complicated.

I'm hopping on tonight 🐰

To my fellow actors that work as substitute teachers: do not be a scab. Support striking workers always.

I like that the message of this video is if you don’t like Sonic Adventure 2 you’re going to go to jail

Batman, I caught a little Pokémon do you wanna know what Pokémon I caught?

Eyewitness video from the scene of today's ICE shooting in California appears to (you guessed it) contradict officials' claims that the man "weaponized" his vehicle. The car is reversing and the agents appear to be well clear of it.

One step closer to strong AI protections and guardrails. 💪 SAG-AFTRA Secretary-Treasurer Michelle Hurd testified in support of CA SB 1050, a bill that would require California advertisers to disclose if they use a synthetic. Thank you, Senator Ashby, for your leadership in introducing SB 1050.

i didn't vote for this (i didnt vote for donald trump)

Finally signed up for VOPlanet as an early bday gift to myself. Already seeing some great auditions with no ai whatsoever. I highly recommend them over voices/voices123.

Anti-localizers are wrong about everything. Yes, literally everything and I urge you not to listen to any of those scumbags on YouTube saying the stupidest shit imaginable.

Same goes with the localized scripts, too, like...you think the original IP holders don't want to look at how the release of THEIR OWN PRODUCT is going to go down in other countries? THE JAPANESE STUDIOS KNOW WHAT THE ENGLISH SCRIPT LOOKS LIKE BEFORE IT GOES PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY OKED IT IN FINAL QA!

A lot of folks don't realize how often the Japanese studios actually have to approve the English VAs beforehand, too. There's multiple layers of international discussion behind how and why someone got cast. "I'm reporting them to the original studio! I bet they'll be pissed!" is a nonsense threat.

Watching anime doesn't make you Japanese. It's doesn't make you an expert on Japanese culture and pushing this parasocial obsession to harass and gatekeep is just pathetic.

Hope you all have a eggcellent Easter if you celebrate! 😄🐇

This was the guy we were supposed to feel sorry for when he got cucked by his fiancé and friends?

Hey so just to be clear since I got a lot of engagement on my last post: I don't want bots to interact with me. DNI Bots or whatever. If I see a bot account I block em.

Absolute Batman is peak holy shit.

Conservatism is wrong. All forms of it, all expressions of it. There is no healthy compromise with it. It is – inherently – a negative. Stop acting as if it is a reasonable, valuable belief system. It inherently devalues / alienates all deviant speech and ideology. It is anti-human.

Fox McCloud from the Super Mario Galaxy Movie is hot and no, I won't be taking any questions.

Unions (and the people who fought on behalf of them) are the reason you enjoy the vast majority of the enshrined rights that prevent your working environment from being even WORSE.

Hey AI companies, I'm not interested in lending my voice to your shitty products so stop sending me stuff in my email. Unlike some voice actors when I say no AI I mean it. Fuck AI and fuck you.

TW: Racism, Sexism, Transphobia. This dude is another stalker of mine and a scumbag and I'm not gonna let him get away with his gamergate bs. I will find his insiders here and block them. I will never stop fighting back against these incels.
