HE SO SILLY!!! :D

how to draw arms ? ? 

Soo, what do I eat-?

I heard this puppet had heart paws and couldn't resist

Just in case

So since I've seen an uptick in people using A.I. models to copy a bunch of my friends' voices, I feel compelled to remind people that I DO NOT approve of using my voice in any A.I. related thing.

I'm not some big-name celebrity. You can always try to ask me to voice something. Heck, even if I WAS a bigger name than I am, I'd still love to chat about whatever you'd be interested in having me voice.

Worst case scenario? I say no.

That could very well happen, since I've been trying to branch out to more paid gigs. And any time used on free work could take away from paid opportunities. That said, depending on if I like your idea, I might be interested in doing it regardless of any promised payment.

But when you use A.I. to get voice lines from well-known VA talent, you're taking that choice away. You're forcing a voice actor to fit into a role that they DID NOT approve of. Forcing them to say and do things against their will. Taking away a chance for that voice actor to get a paying opportunity.

I've known this one pro in the VA sphere that's been in TONS of movies, games and shows. And yet, I saw them venting about possibly needing to apply for unemployment due to them not getting voice opportunities. And that's WITH an agent.

Imagine being a fresh face in the scene and not being able to get work because:

1. Someone steals your voice with A.I. instead of hiring you.

2. A bunch of startup projects decide to use A.I. voices instead of getting paid actors.

REALLY put yourself into their shoes. How would you feel if someone stole YOUR voice and used it in something you didn't approve of? Imagine how it feels to lose a chance at doing something you love because "A computer can get the job done."

And the saddest part of all of this; if you use A.I. to get voicework done, you end up with lackluster results. Voice lines devoid of any emotional significance or situational context. And you miss out on collaborating with a potentially fun person to work with.

There are people all over Twitter, CastingCallClub, and other places that are BEGGING to get cast for projects. Even for FREE.

Don't use A.I. Care for VAs.

They’re so silly

The sillies!!! :D
