Every autumn for the last five years I’ve played a game called: is there a cough on this bus?

So far in 2025 I’m still waiting for it to be a No.
I live in hope of eventually being on a bus without a cough!

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices,
If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text.
You get the idea.

If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Just a reminder: if you’re a chronically ill or disabled voice actor, I see how hard you’re working and you’re awesome.

It is a hard road, but make no mistake that your perspective and experience is valuable and needed.

Take care of yourselves, and keep going.
