Version 2.4 Trailer — "Finest Duel Under the Pristine Blue"
Watch Now:
The Wardance is about to begin. Guests come forth from all across the universe, and in the roots of the prison, the machinations of a long-sealed evil are starting to tremble.
I've been fortunate enough to voice some killer bad guys over the years. Hoolay is easily one of my all time favorites. He's cunning, vicious, terrifying, and has some of the most cold-blooded lines I've read for.
Hope y'all enjoy taking this very big, *very* bad wolf down!
With the reveal trailer up, I'm incredibly honored to be joining the amazing cast of Cookie Run: Kingdom as Wildberry Cookie!
A big thanks to

Not to shame anyone using this AI art thing, but please understand that the more faces and concepts created, the more these AI systems learn and improve generating on the fly. And the more they learn, the harder it will be for artists trying not to be phased out by greedy suits.
The degree of blissful idiocy on display is almost impressive. No one wants to lose agency. If some prick can replicate your voice and make you say things you didn't actually say, they can make you say *anything*. The implications behind that should make your skin crawl.
@sagaftranews
"This contract marks an important step towards the ethical use of AI voices in creative projects by game developers."
The vast majority of us VO actors are saying "don't scrub my voice, let me actually do the work." So how is ignoring that & pushing this garbage at all ethical?
It's now been a full year since the release of Cookie Odyssey, and as thanks for all the love that y'all have shown this walking rulebook since then, I wanted to share a quick thank you from Wildberry to all y'all wonderful dandies.
...Even the juice drinkers...

A small Cookie, as delicate as a white flower, made a deal with the Legendary Red Dragon to obtain the power of Dragon-tongue. 👀

The contracts have been signed & I'm over the moon.
After freelancing with these amazing folks for over five months, I'm now officially repped by Atlas Talent Agency!
I'm endlessly grateful to be working with such wonderful people & excited to see what the future has in store!
Tonight, I learned two things:
1. There's a "Cookie of the Year" Vote in CRK coming up.
2. Wildberry has a Twitter gif.
Do with that information what'cha will, CRK Fandom.
1.4 million people were displaced from their homes, herded into what they were told was a "safe zone," only for that "safe zone" to be bombed in the dead of night. Children have been blown apart. It's not complicated or controversial. Nobody deserves to suffer such carnage.
Hamas agreed to the ceasefire terms & agreed to release all of the hostages. Those talks fell through because the Israel government kept insisting that they were going to invade Rafah no matter what. They've now invaded Rafah.
"Never again" is quite literally happening again.
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge Metal Gear Solid fan. I literally got started as a hobbyist in 2006 doing Solid Snake impressions across the net.
So imagine the big, dumb grin on my face when the immensely talented
@MBJ_01
showed me his 'Solid Wildberry' mesh mod:
If Wildberry gets his oversized gauntlet on the slightly larger gauntlet, he will absolutely snap Berry Juice out of existence.
He must be stopped immediately…

I'm bad at social media-ing, but hey there. My name is Kamran Nikhad. I'm a Middle Eastern
#voiceactor
from San Jose, CA, who's worked professionally for over a decade in video games, educational apps, toys, an audiobook, and recently started working in anime dubs last year.
Just whipped up my Visual Reel for 2022🎙️
This year changed the entire trajectory of my VO career in a way that I didn't think was possible for remote actors. I'm endlessly grateful to every director & studio who gave me a chance and excited to see what 2023 has in store!
Ramadan is a time of peace. Not death.
If you're able, please give what you can to charities for the people of Gaza that you know have a good track record of reliability. Keep an eye out for on what's going on in Rafah & spread the word any way you can.

@ericalindbeck
She didn't hold a harassment campaign. She pointed out that she felt violated by someone stealing her voice and using AI to put words in her mouth. Monetized or not, that's rife with dangerous implications of what else can be done with someone's voice against their will.
Just put together a new visual dubbing reel.
I'm always going to be grateful to every CD & studio that still takes on remote VO actors. Getting to work with so many amazing folks on such killer shows & films is beyond anything I ever thought remote actors could do.
I've had some dialogue going with a few reps from SAG regarding the Narrativ deal, some questions about the IMA strike, and labor law adherence. There's a lot that hasn't been said from leadership that *really* should've been.
Regardless, here's the gist of what I got from it:
I started doing VO professionally in 2011.
I booked my first dub in 2020 and only began regularly booking work in mid-2021.
There’s no roadmap or timeline to get where you wanna be.
Just put in the work, because when you get there, it won’t matter how long the ride up was.
I never thought this was doable from San Jose, but as of yesterday, I'm now freelancing with Atlas Talent Agency! Words can't express my gratitude for the opportunity, and especially to the infinitely awesome
@newphilms
for going out of his way to make this happen.
What's your vocal range with two images?
I've actually done tons of nonverbal monsters and beasts in video games over the years. Warhammer 40k just let me go a little extra weird with it.
As anyone who's ever been with me in session can attest, I have two kinds of laughs.
Dick Dastardly's dog, Muttley, doing his suppressed snickering.
And this.
This round was absolute chaos and I adored it.
How to audition for anime dubs in four easy steps:
Step 1. Open audition sides.
Step 2. Desperately search for any characters over 30.
Step 3. Sigh in defeat.
Step 4. Embrace your inner Steve Buscemi and go for it.
Coming up with Wildberry Cookie's voice was fairly straightforward, it's my normal voice but younger & monotone.
It largely came down to posture.
For each session, I'd stand up straight, chest puffed out, with my fist against my heart to maintain a noble but uptight demeanor.
When signing an NDA, if you don’t want to read the full thing, use the search function on your PDF program to look for any keywords related to AI learning garbage. If you find something, don’t sign the contract until it’s removed, or don’t sign it at all.
Voice actors: read your NDAs. There are now examples of actors giving away the rights to their voice for AI purposes hidden in them.
I know I’m guilty of skimming through them sometimes.
@CRKingdomEN
I'm not saying that Hollyberry got fewer votes because she drinks way more Berry Juice than Pure Vanilla and Sad Dad...
I'm just thinking it very loudly...
Got the greenlight to announce my AAA gaming debut as the voice of Scorch, an unlockable operator in

I'll wait until the meeting today but having read the whole thing, the 'consent in contract agreement' part seems to boil down to, "either you ""consent"" to let us replicating your likeliness for AI models or we'll simply hire somebody who will."
That's coercion, not consent.
I went down a sad little rabbit hole in that thread folks keeps QT-ing (screenshots, yo). So, to anyone who thinks this AI nonsense is "good, harmless fun," the people cheering it on would certainly beg to differ.
Bare in mind, this is among the tamest stuff being posted too.
Trans rights are human rights, and it's well past time that we all stop tolerating hate-mongering shit gobblers who think otherwise.
Don't be friends with transphobic vermin & don't give them your business.
It's never been a "difference of opinion," but an utter lack of morals.
Just got signed onto my first ever union project. Since the subject of unionization is the biggest topic of conversation in the world of VO, I thought I would share with all my fellow NONU peers how the Taft-Hartley dealio went down for a remote, NONU actor like myself. (1)
So far, my type seems to be "absolute beefcakes." Two months into 2022 and the beefcakes are still strong, but now, I can add a dash of "guy who dies horribly and frequently" to that list.
I signed with Atlas & joined SAG-AFTRA.
I booked more gigs than I've ever booked in a single year, including my first AAA game.
I got to work with some truly amazing folks (who tolerate my cornball humor).
I'm endlessly grateful for all of it & to those who helped me get here.
Thank you so much for having me! It is an absolute pleasure to be a part of such an awesome game!
I hope that everyone enjoys the story content to come and smashing baddies to bits with Wildberry once the update for
#CookieRunKingdom
drops tomorrow, May 3rd!
I've never been a big birthday guy. I usually just spend it working then have dinner with my partner. But I'm genuinely overwhelmed by all the kind words and REALLY cute artwork y'all have shared.
Thank you sincerely for all the well wishes! Y'all absolutely made my day!
If you haven’t done so, read & share their stories. They need to be heard.
To all of his victims, the bravery that it took to come forward is boundless. No one should endure what you were all subjected to.
I hope, one day, that something resembling peace & closure finds you.

Read the doc here:
Getting to give a main villain in an anime series a Persian accent wasn't on my 2023 Bingo card. Especially for such a layered & complicated bad guy like Abullah.
I cannot understate how much I adored 'Pluto'.
It's an incredible show that y'all should watch if you haven't yet!

It's now been over two years since I started working in dubs remotely. Here's a highlight reel of some of the name characters I've been fortunate enough to play in that time.
I'm forever grateful for every opportunity that's come & to those who make this hybrid access possible.

weren't amazing enough, I drove by my brothers place to pick up some mail & checks and found this box of badassery waiting for me.
Thank you so much! Have a rockin' good summer, y'all!
Stopped by my youngest brothers place to pick up some mail and found this lil rulebook waiting for me. This custom Wildberry keychain is from

Thank you very much for this wildly cool gift, I appreciate it immensely!
1. Rates not being listed.
2. Needlessly wordy & lengthy audition sides.
3. Character sides are zipped so they can't usually be viewed on mobile devices.
4. Bad script formatting.
5. Grammatical errors, poor sentence structure or run-on sentences.
6. Discord server.
Okay, voice actors. Let's talk.
What are your BIGGEST casting call pet peeves? What really grinds your gears to see happen before, during or after a call opens? Even if it's something we've done!
We wanna hear from YOU!
And no, 'when they don't cast me' doesn't count~ ;)

Because zany old gents and I just click for some reason. I'm sure I do not know why.
