So happy to see so many people enjoying S2 of Hazbin Hotel so far! I had the pleasure of being part of the animation team from Ep5 to 8 so I'll be sharing what shots I worked on as time goes on.
I helped finish up this particular shot for Ep5! I'm super proud with how it ended up. Kudos to the team!

COME WATCH COME WATCH
TONIGHT at 7 PM EASTERN

Sora, Donald, and Goofy find themselves kind of blue, thinking through an age old question: how to exit a whale's digestion? Elsewhere, SO MUCH WAR and a revelation of Maleficent's true intentions arise. The last two are unrelated.

Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.

They will tell you no. They might even laugh.

Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.
Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?

Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.

This affects you - the audience - more than you think.

Because there are no residual payments on videogames, many actors rely on convention appearances as a replacement income.

Because cons = $, cons have begun expecting talent to make it through YOU (no appearance fee).

You’ve been tip-cultured.

As a direct result of voice actors being treated like a sideshow for decades, it became more important to book conventions than it did to book acting roles.

Voice actors are always insisting they are ACTORS first and foremost. Now acting has to share space with “sales person” and “influencer.”

Wanted to share this, because it hits really well on a lot of how I feel whenever the inevitable hype/backlash cycle for a new Final Fantasy starts up, but also because they're absolutely right about the pace of releases effecting the expectations.

Dropping cosmetics prices and refunding players who already bought them is a fun distraction from all the negative talk about not using human voice actors for your NPCs

But it also follows that if you can afford to cut prices and do refunds, you could afford to pay human actors to voice your NPCs.

When Democrats say “Big tent politics” what they mean is they have taken us all hostage in their tent like we’re in “Clockwork Orange” and force us to watch while they continually platform bigots while saying they’re being “open-minded”.

Voice actors never get paid royalties on video games. It's one of the biggest scars on the industry as a whole.

Hey there, I see everyone is talking about the value of getting human beings to voice for videogames

I just so happen to be one of those human beings that does voices for videogames, and if you like anything on this reel or any of my other work, I am available to do that!

Even on projects that don’t feature AI, it’s often difficult to justify how little voice actors get paid for work on projects that sell in the millions

So it’s fascinating to see folks say “they were compensated fairly” repeatedly on this occasion where we don’t even have the voice actors credited.
The argument I'm hearing about it is "the voice actors got paid for it so it's all good"

We don't know how much they got paid, or if they get royalties every time those lines get used.

It's a slippery slope being brushed off because "game good"

if Arc Raiders had plagiarized art, would it matter?

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?
