People believe that when you're LGBTIQ+ you come out once, but the reality is that every time you meet a new person, you have to study them to decide if it's a safe space to say it or not

Saw someone, in reply to the idea of having “the only guy in a girl show who realizes she’s also a girl”, say: “the only ethical way to that do it is in books because you’d have to cast someone who just started hrt” This is exactly the kinda thinking that causes us trans women VAs to not get cast.

Hey Voice Actors!! Once upon a time the community was fairly easy to find on twitter, but it's getting harder to keep track of all the VAs I know across social media, so I'm finally making my own (long overdue) private roster for clients that like to cast through demo reels! You can sign up below!

I moved to bluesky because I saw the state of twitter around the election and understood I didn't feel safe there or comfortable actively engaging on a platform where my engagement would benefit large groups of people who use hatred as a weapon. Those same people would call that "hiding." (cont'd)

TENTATIVE DEADLINE TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT EST! I have actually not yet received any auditions, so hopefully a few of you were were holding your cards 'til the last minute!

and they were roommates (YT thumbnail art) #ThisNThatCartoon

Ziff Davis just reported their "strongest quarterly revenue growth since 2021," up 9.8% to $352.2M, with gaming and entertainment up 7.5% YOY. So why were 8 of our members and 23 members of @zdcreatorsguild.bsky.social just laid off? bit.ly/3H0Osvb

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

if you think every voice actor is a millionaire, you are not immune to propaganda and would not survive the winter, sorry.

Beyond excited to join this stellar cast of talent! Mr. Frazzle is going to be a very fun dude to play~ Can't wait to be neurotic as HECK

Love him 🏳️‍⚧️ metro.co.uk/2025/05/27/s...

…that’s AI. So I’m done playing nice. Any actor that does this panel is gunna get a mega-side eye from me cause how the fuck are you gunna justify this? Pull out or make the convention go forehead to floor in an apology cause this is bullshit.

Capitalism is a great big stupid dumb blob of barely conscious sludge that keeps consuming and shitting and then consuming some more without any sentient thought whatsoever, huh

Cast more trans women in your games, shows, etc. Cast them as trans women. Cast them as cis women. Cast them as the helpful cute creature. Cast them as the groaning zombie sfx. Cast them as the narrator. Cast them as anything they feel comfortable auditioning for.

Discouraging to see how much internet freelance marketplaces have plummeted. There used to be tons of freelance voiceover work up for grabs, but now, it's all but slowed to a trickle. GenAI exists to harm the workflow of hard-working freelancers, nothing more.

Hi, hire me! I am always available and promise to be well behaved in the studio c: I even take direction well, isn’t that neat!

I've heard a few folks complaining about the new verification system being rolled out into bsky, but frankly, I think it's great! It'll encourage more industry folks to come here, and thus, means this place could become even better for networking! Bsky could have the reach of X without the bullshit!

Where are folks finding quality auditions nowadays? With a lot of voiceover folks still on The Bad Place, and a lot of auditions being posted over there, I'm curious if any such outlet exists here in The Better Place, or elsewhere that I may not know about!

Rebuilding the indie animation community here on Bluesky. Please share and also comment for anyone that is an indie creator or team that’d like to be added here and we’re happy to follow and support as well ☺️ go.bsky.app/Hf6oVAY

Meant to have this done weeks ago but been busy with moving. Better late than never I guess.

I made another #Deltarune #VoiceActing dub! This one again featuring our pal Burgerpants! C: You can also check it out on the youtubes: youtu.be/PSalLxKwQIU

🐀 Rat Day? 🐀

Again, really gotta get more voiceover folks onto bluesky! Twitter/X just ain't worth all the nonsense anymore!

🚨ADDITIONALLY!🚨 We are STRONGLY ENCOURAGING Native Hawaiian talent audition for certain roles in this call, particularly Kehlani and Loam (LatAm talent also for Loam)! We're also STRONGLY ENCOURAGING East Asian and Southeast Asian talent audition for Habiniri! SHARING/TAGGING IS APPRECIATED!

Lotta voice acting and industry folks are still on X, and boy oh BOY do I wish they'd come over here already

It's Out!!! The official Queer Vox Trans Resource Guide is now live! Thank you to everyone who helped add to it! You can check it out here! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Salutations #VoiceActing Blusky! I'm Zach Holzman, a voice actor & casting director hailing from Boston, MA! Check out my character demo! I'm very verstatile and can play any number of characters in your animation, video game, audioplay, etc! Check zachholzman.com for my resume and more demos!

Using my deckblue to see which of you are following the furry artists I know is -very- funny just for the record

Important reminder to review bomb Marvel Rivals for firing their development team after the game made the company millions of dollars.

Continue to push back hard against GenAI showing up in video gaming spaces as much as possible. Any new whack nonsense that major companies introduce to 'revolutionize the gaming space', stamp it into the dirt It feels INSANE to say 'celebrate human creators and developers', but that's where we are

Really really tired of seeing 'opportunities' for AI training. Completely and utterly disinterested in using my voice to train technology that aims to replace me. Nobody should be taking these jobs. Often it's a small flat fee up front, and the price you pay is dancing with the devil.

Yeah not sorry I will continue committing THE FUCK out of the sin of empathy

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

🎙️ VOICE ACTOR PSA 🎙️ Alex Hanback has set up a program providing equipment to VAs whose setups were destroyed by the LA Fires. He asked me to share his effort on Bluesky, so if you need new equipment or want to donate equipment, use the link below 🔁 RT to Spread Awareness 🔁 #VoiceActing #MutualAid

Getting -really- sick of seeing auditions in freelancing spaces for either: 1) AI voice training. 2) Commercials advertising for Gen AI. Money is tight yes but I still ain't gonna sell my soul to the devil

to survival

After having spent nearly the entire week hand-crafting my own website with WP site builder, optimizing it for mobile, etc...I can now see why this is something that people are paid to do. The amount of knowledge and patience this takes? Yeah, apparently I lack it entirely!

can there be a browser plugin that detects ai images and replaces them with this

Take a minute or less from your day to show solidarity with your trans brothers, sisters and partners and sign this petition campaign to get BlueSky to ban a known and documented creep from its site and enforce its ToS. His active presence here makes this app unsafe for everyone.

When I'm sitting in the director's chair, I don't like to line read actors. I think it should be a collaborative process; though I'm steering them in a certain direction, I still ultimately want them to have creative freedom to show their uniqueness. If I just line read them, that's out the window.

Re-watched Let The Right One In with some friends! I earnestly think it's just so great. What a thoughtful film about coming of age. Eli and Oskar's friendship resonates so powerfully and both characters are not only given so much room to breathe but the movie allows them to just be kids. I love it.

2025 Goal: Record one short monologue every week. Both for practice and for funsies!
