Do NOT license your voice to ElevenLabs.
Their highest-paid actor made $30k last year. Sounds a lot, but that’s from 1.2 bn paid uses - $0.000025 per job. ElevenLabs charge 20 cents per 1,000 words. So they’re making at least 8,000 times what their artists are.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

It baffles me that plays- words intended for performance- are taught as solely literary texts.
As soon as you get them up on their feet, you feel what it is-you understand the sounds, the meter, the shape of it all.
To quote Hamlet, on acting “suit the action to the word, the
word to the action”

This is a terrific idea - may it flourish like a Shakespearean fanfare.

I can only admire Quinn's taste in literary criticism. But admiration that takes third place, after (2) his abs and (1) his superbly laid-back on-the-stairs dog.
Hi guys, Quinn here. I’m about to go hit the gym and work off all those donuts 😅 but I just wanted to let you guys know that tomorrow a new video drops! It’s all about the philosophical reasoning behind why science fiction fears artificial intelligence.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

I recorded a small role for this splendid #DoctorWho fan series because, well, it's Doctor Who, innit? Handily, I feature right at the start, before the opening sequence (and that opening sequence is really rather brilliant).

Hey! I'm looking for people to help me with game/puzzle design to make a demo for my game. This is a paid position but I’ve got a small budget right now so I can’t pay industry rates, but the goal is to use the demo to find a publisher. Drop me a DM if you’re interested!

Was recently given a bike and the only place to put it is the thoroughfare between living room and kitchen and it's just a tiny bit too narrow and I keep walking into it. So, if my house was thinking about taking on any #HouseofLeaves traits, now would be a good time.

I remember laughing out loud reading this, not because it's a comedy (it isn't), but because the writing was so damned good it made me giggle with delight.
So it’s the tenth birthday of Midnight, a book that was nearly but not quite a lot of things. Happy birthday, little book. Still looking good.
