Killing the free tier while drastically reducing the quality of subtitles and closed captions for dubs is such an arrogant way of doing business.

This is a decision that can only happen when the people who founded the company lost sight of the reason they established this tier / how they themselves started. The whole reason that simulcasting+free ad-supported tiers were innovated in the first place was to deter people from pirating the shows!

So people who do actual work find AI to be useless and executives find it can do their job FOR them. πŸ€”

I, hmm, I wonder what that means we should do with executives.

You’ve already made this industry ridiculously prohibitively difficult to break into. Dub actors are already paid a fraction of what they’re worth. Remote talent gets the finger again and again.

Now, this is our reward for doing things the β€œright way”?

Fuck all the way off

After hearing the disgusting, downright offensive AI generated dub Amazon is pushing for shows like Banana Fish and No Game No Life…

If this crap becomes normalized, I’m gonna become a fucking *prolific* fandub VA.

But here’s the thing. The dubbing industry is run by a couple of massive companies, using a relatively small talent pool. They’ve largely abandoned remote talent, post-pandemic.

I’m likely never moving to Texas or California. So I’m probably never going to get that chance anyway.

I was taught early on and my voice acting career that we should avoid fandubs, because it’s a good way to get blacklisted from ever working in anime. That it’s disrespectful to the actors who worked on existing dubs, and it’s a copyright nightmare.

It feels like literally everyone I know within my social circle is lamenting that the amount of time they need to commit to β€œincome-producing activities” in order to keep on top of rent/debt/loans has completely robbed them of chances for self-fulfillment *unless* they sacrifice said time elsewhere.

You were incredible, Gwen, seriously. I already had some future plans for your character, but your performance brought her to life in such a way that I desperately want to do more with her. It was a treat to experience as a creative, truly. :)

Well, let’s just all sing the fuck me song together, I suppose! :p

In all seriousness, you can’t win β€˜em all, obviously. But man!

So one of the largest voice acting platforms out there requires that if you have a project that is 18+, it has to go in the NSFW section.

And apparently, if it has ANY sexual content, even if it’s implied/non-explicit, it has to be paid.

On paper, it sounds nice, but in practice, what a headache.

Disrespecting real artists, voice actors, and replacing it with AI is unacceptable!

Do better for god sake! This is why SAG-AFTRA members are on strike, fighting for AI protections!

Since I'm out of work right now, I'm trying to really lock the hell in on my voice acting.

Thirteen-day audition streak, and going strong. I haven't managed this level of consistent auditioning since my grandfather died last year.

Go me, I guess!

Had the pleasure of reading the first issue of Exquisite Corpses from @jamesthefourth.bsky.social & Michael Walsh. A hell of a debut and will entertain as much as it's going to terrify with this secret history of America in Late Stage Capitalism. Pre-order it and thank me later.

The fights in Hardcase & Vixen were originally going to be way more grounded, but the more I film shots for the casting call trailer, the more I want to go full superhuman wirework martial arts. I think it would really add to the surrealist anime-esque vibes. #simsmachinima
