first time seeing the northern lights!!

I've been doing video game VO since 2003. In my 20+ years, only ONE game has ever paid "royalties/residuals/bonus payments."

That game?

Date Everything.

And that's ONLY because it's a game produced by professional voice actors who purposefully created a special contract for the game w/ SAG-AFTRA.

a screenshot of the apple fiction podcasts charts with Two Thousand and Late at 90 and The Bright Sessions at 91

We love seeing these two together on the charts!

Listen to TWO THOUSAND AND LATE and The Bright Sessions wherever you get your podcasts, but if you DO listen on Apple Podcasts, consider leaving us a rating and review!!!

You can find a Food Pantry near you at sites like findhelp.org type in your zip code & find the nearest ones accepting non-perishable food. It's approaching the season of giving and gratitude, maybe do something good for someone else & it'll return to you threefold! 🖤

👀 thanks for the tag!!

Hi! I'm one of the millions not getting SNAP benefits this month.

Because of that + the fact that I (not a member of SAG-AFTRA) survived the strike by burning my savings rather than working SL6 or NU…my finances are *rough* but not *immediately dire.*

I'm open to work with clients of all sizes. ✌🏻

The season 1 finale of TWO THOUSAND AND LATE is here!!!

STEP NINE: BURN IT ALL DOWN. SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION (THROUGH ARSON). OVERTHROW MANAGEMENT (LITERALLY). FACE DOWN ANOTHER DEMON FROM HELL...wait, what?

You're gonna see some prolific VA talent get in bed with AI in the coming months/years while their less prolific community members lose opportunities across the board due to it.

Some of them don't care.

Some of them are too focused on the bag and the attention to do so.

By proceeding with the loading of my groceries in the car before seeking approval from alleged "cashiers," I forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.

“But my audience is there”, I hear people say.

I can’t help but wonder how much of that audience is still real.

Ugh. I feel so terrible :( I’ve made maybe $1000 since this June when I got laid off. So if that puts anything into perspective for yall 🥲 I’m on food stamps now so at least that helps a little.

So anyway, maybe voice actors aren't crazy, greedy bastards for wanting protections against their voices being used to train AI after all

Reposting this with different phrasing

Multiple promotional videos for the new Genshin Miliastra Wonderland mode have been posted

A lot of fans believe it to be narrated by AI voice over

You be the judge

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

A promotional image from Mihoyo for "AI Job Openings" that explains "in the world of Honkai we have always believed that AI can create infinite possibilities"

Examples of 2D artwork and 3D models that demonstrate how the AI would allow them to see how models would appear when translated from one to the other

An example of the Honkai Star Rail mascot Pom-Pom chatting to the playing using AI technology

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.

I’ve had maybe four (???) freelance gigs fall through over the last month with nothing lined up. If anyone needs art pls consider me! my portfolio is on naladraws.com

if you have disposable income and want to help me pay my bills this month, I’ll put links in replies.

"We're only using AI as placeholder dialogue, to get a sense for how it'd sound with voices"

Why?? Literally why??? You could grab the shittiest laptop microphone and DO that

Remember this also means don't dunk on bigots with quote replies.
You can turn off quote replies here, if they were hurt and didn't want you to do it you'd know.

btw: the point of the trump admin joining bluesky is to make you afraid, worried, and anxious

all this data was already public. nothing is actually different in that regard. keep having fun. don't be dumb. block & move on.

cis folks, raise your vigilance level for trans people as assholes show up.

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

Whenever indie devs use AI, it hurts their sales potential and retention because it’s a 🚩red flag for generalized unprofessionalism and cut corners.

Getting real art from a pro will make you look like a pro.
