We don’t celebrate Pride for the rainbows or parades, we do it because right now someone out there believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love. That’s why we celebrate Pride—because we want to build a world where no one feels that way.

It is important to recognize that a homophobic bigot decided to take this man’s life. This talent is gone because of unjustified and irrational hatred. Rest In Peace, Jonathan, and know your legacy is carried with love. May the world change for the better, with peace for all.

All of us at Queer Vox wish our community, LGBTQIA+ siblings, & allies a happy #PrideMonth! Pride is a time to celebrate the diversity of the queer experience, however #Pride is more than a celebration, it is a reminder how tenuous our freedoms are & how critical the support of our allies is.

Gentle reminder for actors: If you're upset about AI replacing you, so are writers, artists, musicians, sound designers, devs & more. Maybe consider how they feel seeing actors gladly work projects with the AI art, writing, etc that has impacted them. Believe it or not we're all in this together. 🖤✨

I think of posts like these every time an AI dork is like “I don’t know why we get so much hate from creatives”.

If you want the world to be a better place you gotta care even when you are not directly affected. Otherwise before you know it, you're directly affected. This culture of "screw you I got mine" has to change.

Anyone looking to buy a laptop? This is a long shot, but I have this Victus Gaming Laptop I bought long time ago for playing PC games on stream. I haven't really used it since then. 😆 Look at how clean it is. $500, I'll deliver it. Will ship at cost. 😄 Reposts appreciated! 🙏❤️

All I’ll say: Current/future working actors deserve the most foolproof & future-proof protections we can possibly negotiate. Full stop. Except it isn’t a full stop. Legislators are trying right now to take away state AI & labor protections. We cannot assume we’ll always be able to count on these.

The Knife in the Booth Good acting is an utmost requirement. And everyone is expected to be good actors. And they are. Therefore, you need something more... sharp. You need a knife. Give this 13-minute lecture a listen and see if a knife in your booth could help. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqT-...

I will never, ever, ever be okay with it, consent or no, because it incentivizes these companies to collect libraries of voices to use for the rest of time, robbing future performers opportunities. I don't want to hear a digital replic of an iconic actor. I want. Something. Real.

We hear it a lot: "auditioning is the work." While practically true, the goal isn't simply to book this one role. The objective here is to be remembered. To leave an impression. Whether you're on stage at ACEN for the big audition event or submitting to a casting call, aim to leave an impression.

Get your action hats on! Tomorrow, the US House considers the text of a new budget reconciliation bill introduced by Kentucky Congressman Brett Guthrie. The bill contains harmful cuts to Medicaid. It also contains a provision that would prevent states from regulating AI at all… FOR 10 YEARS. 1/5

Casting directors! FOLLOW! YOUR! DEADLINES!!!!! This goes for both rosters and projects! Don't set a deadline for submissions and then cut it off early. It cuts a lot of people off who couldn't submit right away for one reason or another, which is extremely unfair to them.

Actors are not asking for anything unreasonable with AI protections. We have protections in every other area. Employers for television, film, animation, & commercials agree actors deserve AI protections. The few companies we’re striking against are the only ones in the industry who don’t agree.

It feels like a lot of the discussion and arguments online have become incredibly convoluted, so I really don’t want to pretend I have all the answers as to what’s going on. My own stance has always been this: actors deserve to have safeguards in place against their work being used to replace them.

Politely requesting that casting directors who post opportunities to Casting Call Club also have an alternative method for VAs to audition. The website compresses audio so badly for space reasons, which I get, but it doesn't accurately reflect booth quality. Or don't! It's your call, your rules!

What exactly is "acting?" It is building a believable character on top of a foundation of an actor. Which is YOU. Therefore, the foundation must be strong. Solid. Reliable. Consistent. You must play the character of YOU and gain deeper self-awareness. Don't "act" for now. Master the "you" first. ❤️

Sometimes, you'll receive an email that says "we found you on XYZ and would like to hire you." And the inquiry will be ✨specific to you✨ - instead of the generic "game show host" or other phishing emails. LOOK AT THE EMAIL ADDRESS and visit the website. And now, you know exactly what to do. ❤️😄

Hey. If you're reading this, make sure to drink some water and have a snack today. Even if it's a little cup of water and a handful of candy. Sometimes we forget to self-care in the smallest ways that can give us the boost we need to push forward.

I’ve made more off the 2 lines I did for Detective Pikachu (film) than I did for all of Breath of the Wild for the same reason. Feature films still pay royalties; videogames - despite their industry now being worth more than television/radio/film COMBINED - still do not.

Using generative AI is a quick way to tell everyone: - You don't want to pay the right skilled people - You lack appreciation for creativity - You think your consumers are stupid

I've had a lot of actors - people just starting out and people actively striking companies that have helped establish them - tell me that me talking about this has mattered to them. Please know I do not consider any of this a "debate" or "drama." The only thing I'm trying to "win" is understanding.

I've seen a lot of disconcerting comments made in the VA community lately, so it bears repeating: Your value as an artist isn't in which studios you've worked for, which properties are on your résumé, what agents you sign with, cons you book, etc. It's all in your professionalism and work ethic.

We are THRILLED that the NO FAKES Act has been reintroduced in Congress today! This bipartisan bill will provide every American citizen with the rights to their Voice, Image, Name and Likeness. NAVA will be headed back to Capitol Hill soon to keep pushing this important piece of legislation!
