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.

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.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

And you shouldn't be expected to do this.
Veteran voice actors never had to do this to be considered successful, or considered *for a role*.
The more it's treated like an influencer gig, the less chances people who are focusing on *acting* get.

And now, with how much of the Hollywood “celebrity persona” lifestyle has begun to eke into the VO industry outside of the booth…I grow constantly concerned that what started as a performance craft will continue to demand more and more non-VO commitment to permit successes.
Or else it will move on.

I love physical media, but as I've grown to understand physical media's limitations regarding perpetuity (means of access, disc rot, etc.), it's less that I dislike digital media... And more instead I hate how digital media is handled that's anti-consumer.

Gargoyles had a solid fanbase when it was airing. But over thirty years later, its greatest legacy lies in it being proof that if you tell kids stories in a way that respects their ability to comprehend not only plot but sincere emotion, they'll embrace your work forever.
The "Gargoyles" animated series premiered on this day (Oct. 24) in 1994 with "Awakening, Part One!" One of the best and most influential shows of the 1990s, this fan-favorite cartoon offered-up mature and complex characters, incredible casting, and strong story-telling! #Gargoyles

When a liberal is murdered, we shouldn’t speculate about the political motives of the killer. When a conservative is murdered, it’s important that we immediately blame the left.

Legit makes me sad. I remember touring there as part of my college course back in 2006 and being in awe. So many great titles of the 80s and 90s that were part of my childhood, and now they'll just be a memory.
RIP Nelvana, you deserved so much better.

Trans people were this site’s early adopters and continue to be a huge part of it.
J.K. Rowling won’t ever show up here because there aren’t enough nazis to applaud her.
Coddling the miserable little cretin’s fee-fees on this platform is a pathetic thing to do.

20 Aug 25 -- Bluesky has suspended multiple trans users for anti-J.K. Rowling posts even when they didn't mention threats or violence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Bluesky silenced trans voices over J.K. Rowling, here’s why
