Today's the 9-year anniversary of having an absurd amount of metal installed into my spine/becoming discount-bin Wolverine! (Spoilered in case folks don't like x-rays.) AMA about my shiny bone-snake (and how it's helped friends draw a certain "BG3" vampire), acting, cats, or…almost anything else. 😆

Reminder that twitter data is meaningless

I'm at 1,938 followers now, and there's four days left in the year. 2k by 2026's the goal, I could sure use a hand if I'm going to get there!

Getting Big Number on twitter felt nice but you quickly realise its kinda algorithm bullshit and engagement by Real People on here feels much better

Welcome back artists! 🖌️🎨✨ Quote Post with an old piece that you still like! I got Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment for Christmas and have been playing it the past few days, so I thought of this TOTK fanart from August 2023!

I'm excited to announce that I am also the English voice of Wolvermon AND Maki Kutsuwada in Digimon Beatbreak! You can catch the first five episodes streaming now on Crunchyroll! www.crunchyroll.com/series/GT003...

Sharing on their behalf, but @haikuhello.bsky.social did this adorable sketch of Bun from Bun's Dream! I cry. It's so cute. 😭 (They are also responsible for the game's main menu art!) (Shameless plug, but you can find Bun's Dream here! taylorsconfused.itch.io/buns-dream)

I've made an updated and even more compact TL;DR on tricks for voicing children and why high-pitched != young. The ingredient that's missing here is fully clicking into character-brain, but given that I was already in Presentation Mode (i.e. "Don't 'speak in cursive,' man")…I reckon that's alright.

Sometimes, her smiles resemble some kind of silly dinosaur-creature—and I just think that's neat. 😌

hahahaahahhahahaha #killerchat #art #artistsonbluesky

One of the most liberating lessons I learned in therapy is that it's always better to be a good person than a nice person. It's a difficult lesson, obviously, but one well worth investing in learning. I'm still working on fully deprogramming myself, too, so I speak from a solidarity place.

I do my best to be genuinely good to people—in large part because it makes me happy. So, something I learned this year's that I get…"squishy"…when attempts at meaningful benevolence get cast aside or crushed for the sake of maintaining normalcy, esp. if said norms are destructive or exclusionary.

Random detail: this nerd's vision isn't monocular, but making his less impaired eye (right) match the one I use for >70% of my seeing was *very* deliberate…purely so that I wouldn't get left-right confused in the script 😅😆 (I only use one eye at a time, but my brain swaps between 'em contextually.)

It’s due to her I’m made of sponge her spell made this occur So for once I’m glad I’m SquarePants, I’ll be SquarePants KILLING HER

And, on the other side of the same coin—please be cognizant of how you hold the love of a character vs. the perception of their actor. We aren't our characters. We might cherish them just as you do—but we're not them, they aren't us, and your love for them doesn't mean you know us as real people.

Yeah less threats of harm against actors in 2026 please. We are not our characters.

I was lucky to be able to illustrate some old men for this project 🥹🥺 I very rarely do jams but Jett sold it to me as “complicated old man yaoi “ and naturally I was onboard !

Hi! If you're new to Bluesky and enjoy steampunk, visual novels, or are otherwise in the mood for what's basically a 90min theatre piece in videogame form… Some absurdly skilled humans were kind enough to hop aboard this project with me earlier in the year. It's got a very special spot in my heart.

THIS !!!!! It’s the very typical reaction of an abusive relationship once they have devalued you Now that I believe no one else will actively try and stop your harm I am going to reduce our entire interaction to making you support me

An in-tree-guing query for the crew... It might be Boxing Day, but that doesn't mean we're out of the date-range for when this takes place! ❤️ rosesrot.itch.io/killer-chat-... 💚 store.steampowered.com/app/3495110/...

My advice for having a nice bluesky experience: - follow *and boost* anybody who posts weird/interesting stuff. If your paths diverge you can mute them - interact with people in good faith and you'll often be met with the same (and gain followers) - post the kinds of things you want to see more of!

I didn't make a 2024 videogame visual reel because of the strike, so...here, have both 2024 *and* 2025! For any new folks: hi there! I'm Jett, a British-American voice actor based in California. ✨ Masc, femme, and nonbinary characters ✨ Phonetic analysis goblin ✨ Studio specs et al: jettbarker.com

Art Train to reintroduce yourself! I'm Nate! A 3D generalist I suppose, though I'm working more towards VFX and Character/creature art these days. I like hanging with my doggo and grinding on warframe too much.

🎁 Ronin's back with snark, sporadic sensitivity, and…Secret Santa? 🖤 Super psyched to announce that "A Killer Chat! Christmas" (previously unvoiced) has received FULL VO and fantastic new music on Steam and itch! 🥳 In addition to reprising the lad, I also did a ton of dialogue editing on the game!

❄️ FESTIVE ROLE (re)ANNOUNCEMENT! ❄️ I’m back as my fave fire-loving femme Felicie in the new voice patch for A Killer Chat Christmas! I was also lucky enough to be production manager for this one, so it feels particularly special seeing it up on steam now too! 🥰 #voiceactor #visualnovel #datingsim

Killer Chat Fanart Sketch 😈🩸

"Holiday visit in which Jett gathers more evidence to argue that this tiny child [who coincidentally shares a legal name with Sweeney Todd] bears an inexplicable resemblance to Adam Driver"

welcome new bluesky users, remember: Your home page only shows what and who you choose to follow

In "A Simple Re:Quest," you find yourself taking part in a month-long augmented reality game (ARG) designed for teams of 2 players. Your teammate? A not-so-mysterious, sometimes-technologically-clumsy linguistics nerd doing their best.

Hey uhhh...if you're still on Twitter, you miiiiight wanna reconsider that. I mean...you probably should've reconsidered that awhile ago, but still.

The holidays are upon us!✨ For anyone who's been playing/is familiar with Bun's Dream, here is a jolly little render featuring Bun and Nova to celebrate! So jolly. So joyous. I hope you enjoy, and have a wonderful holiday season, you all!

Happy #MeetTheWebcomic Day! Rifts Of Chronos is a fantasy-adventure webcomic about a group of elves (and an owl) who struggle to get along, only to become trapped together in a strange realm. 🔗: riftsofchronos.thecomicseries.com (Also on Webtoon and Tapas) #webcomic #comicsky #ComixCleric

My final background for A Simple Re:Quest! The second of the two natural environments!

🗡 ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT 🗡 So proud to say that I am the voice of Gimra in My Gift Lvl 9999 Unlimited Gatcha!!! This lil rascal with a smart mouth and no manners was such a delight to bring to life. He and his friends have such a bright future together! Right? Right?! 🥹

I have no boughs and I must deck

A couple pals and I lovingly(?) refer to "KC!"-Ronin's 80%-vocal-fry waveforms as "crinkle-cut" because that's genuinely what they look like in spectral view... But that prompted one of them to call him "Kris Crinkle" yesterday and send me into an absolutely horrific burst of wheeze-laughter 😂🎅🏻

🍬Role announcement!🍭 You can hear me as Alice DoGoode in A Very Crooked Christmas, a festive addition to the Folklore VN series! Always a pleasure working with @seraten04.bsky.social 🙏 (clip ft. the hilarious @breefrankelvo.bsky.social) #voiceactor #voiceacting #indiegame #visualnovel

Hey so if someone else (or even your own brain) tells you you’re the only person masking and taking clean air precautions at the holidays, no you’re not. I am, too. There are lots of people who still care about protecting themselves and others so don’t give up.

Random detail: this nerd's vision isn't monocular, but making his less impaired eye (right) match the one I use for >70% of my seeing was *very* deliberate…purely so that I wouldn't get left-right confused in the script 😅😆 (I only use one eye at a time, but my brain swaps between 'em contextually.)

Absolutely lovely team on a lovely project, with fantastic original art, music and writing. ❄️ I did the UI design for the VN portion. 💻 The team worked incredibly hard, please give this one a whirl

One of my favorite things about working on games is seeing how different people illustrate the same characters. To have multiple artists willing to spend time with characters who've never existed before is always such a privilege—and Lex and Ves' styles are delightfully compatible, to boot! 🥳

Remember - the following activities are always free and positive: 1) Share your appreciation for voice actors and their work. 2) Contact cons directly to request your favorites. 3) Signal boost others doing one and two. 4) Take breaks from the World Wide Web!

Here's how the joining process works behind the scenes at the union. In case you're wondering, "Ben.... Where did you get this information? I've heard other things before...," my source is the Executive Director of Customer Experience at SAG-AFTRA.

I'm excited to announce that I was a part of this visual novel as a background artist! It has been wonderful to work with the team and gain experience doing art for a game! Please check it out if you are interested! ❄️🎉

I had an absolute blast working on this. I am very proud of all the work that has went into this, and this team was a pleasure to work with! Please check out A Simple Re:Quest and all the wonderful people I had the pleasure of working beside.

I made music for this wonderful project. I love it, and everyone who worked on it. Please check it out!!

I have again been asked if AI was used to make my game. For transparency, my minions used generative AI to make all the parts of the game that didn't benefit from a human touch, were too boring to make or not important enough to craft by hand. In other words, we didn't use any generative AI.

"A Simple Re:Quest" is out now as part of #WinterVNJam! Its narrative peaks on Dec 21st, so today's a great day to play! I'm so proud of this team and incredibly psyched to have gotten to collaborate with both new + familiar folks! ☺️ jettbarker.itch.io/a-simple-req... #visualnovel #vndev #indiedev
