Everyone’s favorite company that absolutely would never use AI in any way because that would be bad is doing a big old collab with Duolingo this coming week and you’ll likely hear no protesting about that from the usual anti-AI crew who love this game

When the AI bubble finally bursts, I'm going to raise my editing and writing rates to triple digits per hour out of pure spite. Coulda hired me before, but you wanted to be a water-poisoning plagiarist instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had no idea Silent Night Deadly Night was getting a remake, crazy that we live in a timeline where that movie gets 2 remakes. The new one looks like it’s going to be more similar to the original 1984 film than the 2012 remake.
I didn’t hate the 2012 remake but it’s different from the 1984 film.

Advice for other Voice Actors:
If the video game company won't at least sign the NAVA Rider? Then you shouldn't send them an audition. I'm seeing some concerning stuff on the VAC Discord that makes me want to pull my hair out. I get it, times are tough. But do not let companies steal from you.

Here’s hoping that Genshin doesn’t win player’s voice at The Game Awards this year, it robbed Sonic Frontiers back in 2022, and it really shouldn’t be in the player’s voice category because it came out in 2020.

I did initially feel awful about clipping footage from the Banana Fish AI dub but since they removed it *and* it’s now apparent they didn’t have permission to do it in the first place, I do now feel it’s important to have some video evidence remaining of what they fuckin did.

AI's adoption by megacorps is built entirely around force and deception because they know how unpopular it is otherwise.
An individual suing Amazon is one thing: a whole company doing it has sturdier legs to stand on.

Kadokawa stated that it did not approve of an AI dub, and Sentai stated that it wasn't aware of the dub beforehand.

an update to this: it seems they’ve (silently) removed the AI ENG version of their dubbed beta for some anime (Banana Fish included)
HOWEVER, the Spanish AI dub betas are still up. keep demanding for its removal please — all languages deserve equal respect with dubs and subs. thank you.

The recent video game Ai strike has been an unfortunate wake-up call about the culture of the VO industry. Some scabbed, some encouraged scabbing, some tried to end the strike because their SL6 was running out, and some were blatantly selling their voice to Ai companies. It was harrowing.

I never imagined that undergrad me in 2016 would have conversations almost a decade later during the recent video game strike about how truly awful scabbing is. Or come to realize how selfish some professional voice actors truly are.

Thankfully, they didn't do it. But after that infuriating conversation I thought "gee at least Pro LA VAs aren't selfish like this."
Fast forward to now and I was very, very, VERY wrong.

Back in 2016 I talked to a friend about the video game strike at the time. They wanted to go to LA and take struck roles from VAs. Even after telling them that what they wanted to do was blatant scabbing. They got upset with me and said "I'll be credited as anonymous, it'd be fine."
