I was trusted with the role of Renata from the art project Post Mortem by @painterintheattic_ over on Instagram and I'm extremely excited to speak another badass to life!

Currently struggling with a mad cold, but please watch this beautifully animated short film by Olivia Hartanto about Calon Arang (Indonesian folk) in which I got to voice the dark creature Leak. Thank you for having me! youtu.be/oobtr3CPLvk?...

I'm also part of SYNTXE's audio drama anthology. Time flies! I started with MIRIAM, the friendly assistant module of the Perseus-7 in EP 14: "Alone, Together" in May/April (shortly after debuting in voice acting in March—yes, this is me still on my phone mic).

As a corollary to this: there are a lot of artists who will black-list you from BUYING art if you have AI slop in your profile. Seeing AI is an instant, immediate red flag for most artists because it's a signal that you do not respect artists (yes, that includes using it "until I can get real art").
Just so you know...
Art directors, Art enjoyers, Art buyers and Artists talk with each other. Nobody wants AI slop, specially when there is real art out there as an alternative. You can totally get blacklisted, not only on the industry, but inside fandoms for defending AI precarization and theft.

Your task, as an actor, is as follows:

- When life happens, process and archive
- When consuming media, put on that character's boots and see their POV
- ACTIVELY engage with non-acting aspects of life and SEEK elements that add to the self-awareness
- Have fun and play

I agree with OP. AI-generated placeholders in any department (art, design, music, voice, writing, etc.) are assets that already went through the generation process and the training on other artists' data. That is where the damage happens. You can't reverse it or 'scratch' it. It's done.
Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!

Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.

You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

Hi, Bluesky. I'm Lavinia and I'm a creative and #voiceactor from Germany. Right now I'm working on an original series with its own #audiodrama called SOULTRIAL @soultrial.bsky.social which I'm very passionate about. Looking forward to sharing more with you.
