Going back to that place called Home.

Whole-heartedly BEGGING writers to unlearn everything schools taught you about how long a paragraph is. If theres a new subject, INCLUDING ACTIONS, theres a new paragraph. A paragraph can be a single word too btw stop making things unreadable

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.

It's "See how well you can follow instructions" time ya lil fuckers!!

Here's a poll, you can't press any of the options, that's the only rule, no voting. Reblogs, likes, and comments are totally allowed, you just can't vote

You all have one week, let's see how this goes

@maryland-no-rabies Tagging cause I need people to see this

Have fun !!

it's a lot of stuff...

The sillies!!! :D

you may coordinate as needed

IF YOU CANNOT STRIKE 18-24 FEB

many people find themselves unable to call into work or school to strike! they might not have enough sick days saved up, it may not be financially viable, they need to be in to study or their parents may not allow them to strike.

this is entirely understandable! many of us are young or otherwise at risk due to our government and precarious life circumstances. however.do NOT post about not making others feel bad for not being able to strike. any posts you see about others not striking will be about those WILLFULLY ignoring the strike [posting about unrelated things, going into work, etc when they are fully capable of doing so

posting about the ethics of seeing these posts and how it makes people feel bad draws away from the main subject of the strike, palestine. as people unable to strike, the best and only thing you can do right now is post ONLY about palestine! [only, of course, with the exception of filler tweets to avoid getting sh4dowbanned. these tweets should be marked as filler and should be as boring as possible as to not get a lot of engagement] PLEASE REPOST AND SHARE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE IT BEFORE AND DURING THE STRIKE !! THIS MINIMISES CHANCES OF STUPID DISCOURSE DURING THE STRIKE LIKE WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME !!
