Just gonna throw this out there, too--Taylor can not only act, he can *direct,* too, and quite well!

Parastatic is nearing its final stretch of development! We have a couple more assets coming in, and then we'll be polishing, polishing, polishing! Hooray! Until then, enjoy this CG created by @haikuhello.bsky.social featuring Marcy! ...She's probably fine.

🎨 RECRUITMENT POST 🔮 (Seeking 2 backgrounds for a pro bono, Union game jam project) Hi, all! An indie team I'm helping spearhead is currently looking for coverage on 2 game BGs (one town square, one natural space). If you've got avail or know folks who might, please let me know via Reply or email!

I'll be among a group of panelists talking about Audio Description as part of the Audio Description Awards Gala! To listen in, head to the link below beginning at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET. Thank you again, American Council of the Blind, for having me on! acbmedia.org/home/streams...

Two of the Disney productions that I had the honor of performing the Audio Description for, "The Roses," and "Shifting Gears" have both been nominated for the People's Choice Award for Best Audio Description in their respective categories (film and TV)! adawardsgala.org/2026-audio-d...

*Very* late to this, but a great drama film that I had the honor of performing the Audio Description for, "Miss You, Love You," is on HBO. A very moving little film about grieving loss, and the healing process from it! #AudioDescription #MissYouLoveYou #HBO play.hbomax.com/movie/66933f...

Ever since I started writing dub scripts, I've had a newfound appreciation for the movie, "Kung Pow." This bit in particular always gets a laugh out of me, because now I know the nightmare of having to write a lip-synced script for a close-up shot of someone's mouth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CQP...

I can never *not* be proud of this guy. I met him in a dubbing class around the time I moved out to LA, and he was talking about maybe moving out to the states--which he did. Moving to *another country* to pursue your dreams is *no* small feat, and I will always respect that level of dedication!

It's time for another character! This time it's... Lacey! Lacey has been in my head for a bit, so it's wonderful that she finally gets to see the light of day. She's also a rare character I had a hand in designing, alongside @haikuhello.bsky.social. I hope you look forward to seeing her in-game!

Of note: this informational meeting (followed by a Q&A) is open to *all* actors, regardless of union status. Zeke is also highly knowledgeable on all union matters, so if you've got any union questions, I'd *highly* recommend going to this meeting!

As development on Parastatic moves forward, I'd wanted to create some little character cards to introduce the cast, starting with our lead, Wen! Wen's character has changed a lot over the course of development, but I'm very happy with where we have her now. I'm excited for y'all to meet her! :)

SAG-AFTRA - NO FAKES ACT - A.I. Open Letter

So, I hold off on buying game consoles until a game comes out on it that I feel is worth the several hundred dollars it would cost to buy the console. Welp. Between the Star Fox remake, the Ocarina of Time remake, and the new Xeno game...fine, Nintendo, haha, I'll get a Switch 2. 'Ya got me!

Development on Parastatic has begun! I hope to share the development process here on Bluesky as we work on this game over the next two months. Our beginnings are humble and full of placeholders. LOL The character art is done by @haikuhello.bsky.social! #vndev #indiedev #indiegame #visualnovel

This is actually kinda complicated. Sure, I for one would *love* to see more working-class voice actors in big-name animated films. That said, animation voice acting -- largely *because* of big-name celebrities -- is still overwhelmingly unionized, and that's worthy of <continued in next post>

Hi, all! We've got coverage on most of these assets, but there are still a trio of BGs, one related CG, and a top-down map we're looking to find folks for! As before: if you're interested, feel free to drop a link to your portfolio here (or DM me) + specify what you'd be interested in working on!

Season 2 of "Deli Boys" is out now on Hulu and Disney+. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back to perform the Audio Description, as Disney has opted to replace me with an AI voice. My full thoughts can be found here: www.facebook.com/share/p/18X4... #DeliBoys #AudioDescription #DisneyPlus #Hulu

We’ve received multiple reports from NAVA members regarding the misuse of their voice and personal data on the platform Fish Audio. If you think your voice has been misused visit navavoices.org/reporting

Just a quick heads up; today is the FINAL DAY to audition for Wen! You have until 11:59 PM EDT to audition!

On #MemorialDay, SAG-AFTRA honors and remembers the brave service members who gave their lives in service to our country. We reflect with gratitude on their sacrifice and extend our appreciation to the families and loved ones who carry their memory forward.

Boosting for a friend – – feel free to audition if you fit the specs!

The #TakeItDownAct was a team effort, and we are so proud to see it in effect! Thank you to our partners in the fight for AI protections. We are stronger together! Stay tuned for #NoFakes coming soon: https://ow.ly/pr3M50Z1Okv#TakeItDownAct

Accurate. It's not that *fandubs* are a problem so much as it is fandubs that end up on the internet (or available for public consumption somehow). In the privacy of your own home, never to be shared? That's fine. But if you distribute it, you're playing with fire. comicbook.com/anime/news/a...

Show up and ask your questions!

Kathleen Kennedy recently said that one of the reasons that creatives have a problem trusting AI is because of the common lack of transparency surrounding it. Well....yeah. If people find out about AI usage after the fact, that *can* lead to feelings of being misled. Not a good thing.

Ohhhhhhh....I didn't put this together until now, but Disney dropped the final two episodes of the first season of "Maul -- Shadow Lord" on May 4th. Clever timing! Go watch the epic conclusion on Disney+! www.disneyplus.com/browse/entit... #MayThe4thBeWithYou #MaulShadowLord #AudioDescription

As the announcement notes, formal details will not be released unless the National Board approves it. If that happens, Q&A meetings with membership will be scheduled. *Show up* to those meetings you can make an informed decision with your vote. In the mean time, THANK YOU to our NegCom! #SAGAFTRA

Good. AI is not worthy of awards, because using it doesn't take skill. "Writing prompts"? Being able to *type something* is not a skill. "Trying different prompts over and over until the AI gets it just right" is still just typing, and thus, still not a skill. www.bbc.com/news/article...

*VERY* much looking forward to playing this!

Currently, the price of using AI for consumers is artificially low, thanks to gargantuan VC investment funding. Our word for today is, "Unsustainable." futurism.com/artificial-i...

I had the honor of performing the Audio Description for "Jerry West: The Logo," out now on Amazon Prime. It's named as such because, as it turns out, the NBA logo is not a *drawing* so much as it is an *outline* of Jerry West--learn his legend on Amazon! #AudioDescription #JerryWestTheLogo #Amazon

I know Los Angeles/Hollywood is associated with glitz, glamor, and ultra-rich celebrities...but as somebody who is not drawn to the first two items and is not even *close* to that third item, I can confirm, this really is a blue-collar town.

She is so photogenic! Wait, no, no, Lucy, not that way STOP

Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.

The *sound* is bad enough, never mind the temperatures that it raises and the air that it makes more toxic--and for *what*? To help put more people out of work?

(For reference, Ben's referencing Sam Witwer as Maul.) That's not just Ben being nice, this is an *accurate* statement. How accurate? Witwer is one of the few people on Earth who actually *out-geeked* Dave Freaking Filoni. www.youtube.com/shorts/eUKTT...

Today marks the debut of "Star Wars--Maul: Shadow Lord," which I had the honor of performing the Audio Description for. If you like your Star Wars dark and gritty, with hints of moral ambiguity and moral relativism, this show is for you! #StarWars #MaulShadowLord #DisneyPlus #AudioDescription

I should preface, given today’s date: no, this is *not* an “April Fool’s Day”-thing.

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

Sharing purely for reference: the account associated with this is @attie.ai, and user restriction functions (e.g. the Block button) work as normal. Do with that what you will!

Made a video discussing the anniversary and the house situation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLd4...

On the one hand, it's unfortunate that the game is still using AI. But on the other hand? Legitimate kudos for re-recording most of the AI with actual voice actors and flat-out admitting that they're better! kotaku.com/arc-raiders-...

Congratulations to Blizzard for winning the first-ever "Best Accessible Audio Design" award, at the Game Audio Network Guild Awards last night! All the nominees should be so proud of the audio accessibility they've created, but Diablo IV: Vessel Hatred deserves this win!

Unions band together to launch new game industry conference 'by workers, for workers'

Hah hah. You know the ironic thing? This gif is from Puyo Puyo Tetris, a non-union game for Sega. A non-union game that WENT UNION, along with, as far as I know, ALL of Sega's properties. Puyo Puyo: union Yakuza: union Persona: union Sonic: union Thank you, Sega! 💙

And by the way, Capcom *has* done union video games before, with both SAG-AFTRA and ACTRA (the Canadian union). Add that to the pile of reasons that I really, really, *really* have a tough time believing that they can't go union. #MegaMan #Capcom
