so they admit that they just hate palestinians and want their land. ALL THE EVIDENCE IS RIGHT HERE. THEY DO NOT WANT A CEASEFIRE, AND THEY DO NOT WANT THE HOSTAGES FREED.
BREAKING: ISRAELI MINISTER ELI COHEN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
โWe would prefer not to reach peace agreements if they would lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state.โ
To whoever needs to hear this: just because a project isn't made for profit, does not make using AI voices okay.
Voices are still being chucked into AI programmes without permission, threatening their livelihood. Just because you're not making money from it doesn't make it okay.
The creator of this short, Eag2n, does not appear to have a Twitter account, but this needs to be seen!
The full video just came out on YouTube!
Itโs a Scooby Doo x FNaF in a classic stop motion style! Please check it out!
To the fuckers out there that made Erica Lindbeck delete her twitter account. I hope you are fucking happy. She has done nothing to deserve the hate she has gotten. That is a woman who loves what she does and you guys are trying to take that away from her with the dead souless
Just confirmed one of my most regular clients had switched over to using AI voiceover this year, hence why freelance work has been a lot slower this year. So that's proof that AI voiceover, art, music, etc. is harmful to freelancers and creatives. It's not paranoia, it's FACT.
๐ป YO I VOICE IN SPOOKY MONTH! ๐

VOICE ACTORS! i'll likely be looking for voiceovers for my student films in the future.
please reply if you'll be interested in voicing some of my stuff in the future! (please note that these will be unpaid!)
๐ธ-MY ANIME DEBUT!!-๐ธ
I'm SO FRICKIN' EXCITED to announce my โจANIME DEBUTโจ as the official English voice of Leroi in "Ace Of Hearts"! Thank you
@shirumidoriiro
and
@BurgerboyguyVO
for trusting me to voice this sadistic lil' boy! ๐ชโจ
Hey folks, just gauging interest at the moment.
Would you audition for a cool indie animation project, even if the project is unpaid? The director does not have the means to pay but is planning on hosting a kickstarter. Just want to know who would be interested!
With all the stuff that's going on recently, I just want to say that you are NOT obligated to speak on every drama that happens. Social media is exhausting, take a break when you have to.
To put this into perspective, I've been paid $9,000 for voicing a supporting role in small INDIE projects.
Hellena was paid $4,000.
For THE MAIN ROLE.
In a FULL-SCALE AAA GAME.
People have gotten too comfortable with not paying actors.
No I will not dedicate my Saturday mornings for 4 hour sessions, or write a special cover letter for an UNPAID project.
(They own a 350k+ subscriber YouTube channel, it's not like they can't afford to pay)
#castingcall
if people were able to do impressions and create indie projects before ai voices were a thing, then people STILL CAN NOW!!
you DO NOT need to use ai for your projects. there are MANY up-and-coming talents who are willing to work for free!! you never need to resort to ai voices.
It absolutely infuriates me to see people who have little experience in voice work try teaching classes and sessions, and charging beginners to pay for them.
VOICE ACTORS!
NDA = ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION of anything related to the project.
Many anime auditions start out with a "By opening this email, you agree you will NOT speak of anything related to the project".
I've seen people get blacklisted like this. Please don't be silly ๐
LISTEN UP! You do NOT need to voice in anime to be a successful voice actor.
There are so many other genres you can delve into. Commercial, video game, e-learning, narration, etc.
Don't limit yourself solely to anime voice acting. Explore! โกโก
โจTALENT ROSTER SUBMISSIONSโจ
Hey folks, I'm opening up my talent roster again for submissions! Feel free to send you info in the Google Forms down below if you're interested in receiving casting calls that I'm casting for!
Recently, I called out a director for missing out on payments, low rates, and poor communication.
I don't want anyone to go through the process of dealing with scummy directors, so here's a thread of red flags to look out for in indie projects! ๐ฉ 1/?

Looking for a charismatic antagonist, an awkward introvert, or maybe even a guardian of a mystical forest? I might just be the voice you're looking for! ๐

I find it scary that people will jump on the bandwagon of hate on people who have been in the industry for years so easily.
I support authentic casting wholeheartedly, as a POC myself. But attacking and ostracizing every voice actor who makes a genuine mistake is not a solution
And trust me, it is NOT hard to find actors within your budget. There are plenty of websites to find voice actors willing to help out on your project. You NEVER need to resort to AI.
PLEASE READ.
i have no money for school. (1/?)
i got into film school recently, and the fees for the equipment have been overwhelming ever since.
im on thin ice with my parents (dad, especially) and they might even force me to drop out if i can't afford the equipment myself.
hey everyone. i need to earn $2,500 SGD to pay off my film equipment (MANDATORY for my course) by end-march. so if anyone is willing to commission me for voice work, thank would be amazing. i hate to beg, but please consider commissioning me! โค๏ธ
โจ[FAIRLY URGENT] PAID CASTING CALL 1F/1M โจ
Hey
#VoiceActors
! I'm casting for a long-term ongoing MC series. Director needs the lines quickly so the deadline will be Nov 22nd 00:00 GMT+8.
Compensation is $50USD per 15-20 minute video but negotiable.
I've always looked up to friends who got into anime, longing for the day where I can also be a part of an anime.
That day has FINALLY come and I couldn't be happier.
Thank you everyone. SO much. For the incredible support. Seriously. I will do my best to bring Leroi to life!
Reminder: Just because you're not booking stuff or making role announcements as much as others, does NOT mean that you're not as talented or skilled!
The number of roles you book is not a reflection of your worth.
Everything takes time. Sit back and enjoy the journey! ๐ฅดโจ
seeing voice actors coming out as raging zionists reinforces one thing, and one thing only.
voice actors are not their characters, and any reasonable person would call for a permanent ceasefire as well as a free palestine. ๐
hey folks, can we all agree that letting AI be used in a consensual and paid situation STILL takes jobs from actors? we're all on the same page yea? we DO know that companies could simply turn to look for actors willing to have their likeness used and avoid those who don't right?
Why did voice actors suddenly go quiet when it's the artists getting their work replaced with AI? Y'all were SO LOUD about AI voices but the second AI art comes along, you're dead quiet?
VOICE ACTORS!
I'm feeling nice today, and that means supporting you guys in your journeys as well!
Send me your samples, something you've voiced in, samples, anything that includes your voice and I promise I'll say ONE GOOD THING about your voice! Send it in, ya cowards!!! ๐ค
I think I've cracked the code on how to get likes on VA Twitter:
Voice acting, casting call, paid, role announcement, Hey Voice Actors, demo reel, talent pool, IMDb credit.
Did I miss anything?
Trans actors are some of the most talented people I know, and they deserve SO many more opportunities! Let's show them some appreciation.
TRANS/NB actors! Reply with your stuff and I'll RT it!!
AI voices can replicate human voices, sure.
But can they emote, project their voice, adjust their intonation, and most importantly, deliver an AUTHENTIC performance? The simple answer is no.
Only humans can relate experiences to deliver a powerful, and genuine performance.
TALENT ROSTER!
to anyone who would like to hire voice actors, i have a talent roster curated around a year ago! (and to voice actors, i'm still updating and making changes here and there, but i'll open up submissions soon!)
