It will be very anger inducing because it mirrors current events.

Lately I spend a lot of time thinking about how frighteningly real Season 2 of Picard has become in the last 2ish years.

For years 2 things that come up from time to time are that I should do a podcast or I should teach. Every time they come up, I tell people precisely why I don't want to do any of those things (especially the teaching part since way better teachers exist) & why I mainly want to focus on VO.

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost

Did you know that union membership is a pathway to healthcare? Our Freelancing Committee has been taking steps to make it a reality and it's one of their major goals. Until the US gets universal healthcare, you deserve coverage. Studios shouldn't be able to wiggle out of a system THEY helped create.

Pray to Discotek or AnimEigo at this point.

It's why you have the best storefront of anyone & a testament to the loyalty you've curated.

This is how we get Detective Jerome to write about it again, isn't it.

But China outlawed AI, didn’t it?

Isn’t that what everyone was saying during certain industry strikes?

Nothing to worry about, right?

Indie game devs may be interested in the Student and Game Jam Interactive Waiver Agreements, or the Tiered Budget Agreement. With these, you can use SAG-AFTRA members (such as me) in your indie games at little or no cost! www.sagaftra.org/production-c...

Takeshi Hongo in his form as Kamen Rider Ichigo stands firmly over a scientist who has done horrible things, but says that "Human life is more important than even peace and justice." This reaffirms the message of the show that the only way to make a better world is to focus on keeping people safe and protecting the innocent, not simply lashing out and hurting those who hurt you. Violence can sometimes be necessary, but it should never be arbitrary, and always to protect, never to aggress. The image is a still from episode 91 of Kamen Rider, which ran from 1971-1973, and formed the emotional and moral core of the series that still runs today.

Words to live by from the character Takeshi Hongo, written by Shotaro Ishinomori. Using "peace and justice" as an excuse to attack the innocent is just senseless violence, and creates neither peace nor justice.

AAA studios have decided AI VO will voice "less important NPCs." How do y'all think new actors get experience in order to get better in order to land leading roles? Hmm?

This is how you end up in The Hare Club for Men, just as South Park foretold

Remember, on this day, one who died to save us all and rose again to great rejoicing.

Once in a while, I'll get the suggestion that I should go to grad school & get a masters just to have a fallback & given the way things have turned out (along with a masters contributing shit to VO), I don't know if I really have any desire to go back to school for anything.

Looking forward to seeing what you pull out this year.

a) Some video games are genuinely better without voice acting (see: Undertale)

b) Voice acting is so much cheaper than people realize. I'm directing an indie game and even at SAG rates, with as much voiced dialogue as Hades, we're probably not going to break even $30k. One session is like $500.

Voice Actors -
Recently, several casting directors have expressed to me their frustration of actors who violate NDAs by sending auditions to friends or telling actors that a certain CD is casting a certain project.

Please consider all auditions under NDA!

I'm not Jewish myself. But that is my assessment here as well. We don't have a ton of far-right cadres on this site, thankfully, but I am seeing a lot of leftists using language literally coined by David Duke and arguing for their right to do so.

No bueno.

Really feel for Braly and the larger entertainment industry right now. It's all being run by people who don't care and have no trouble making it clear how much they don't care

Studiopolis logo, with the company name in spotlights against a city background

Is Studiopolis (a.k.a. Screenmusic/Studio E) the company that’s been dubbing anime into English the longest that’s still around (and dubbing anime)?

Their first dub appears to have been Zillion for Streamline in 1990, and they’ve been pretty consistently dubbing ever since.

3 Day field trip to Sacramento in 4th grade, week long trip to Astro Camp in Idyllwild in 5th grade & another week long trip to Catalina in 6th grade (where we all begged our 5th grade teacher to chaparone because we hated the 6th grade teachers that much).
