An important message from @samwitwer, Pt 4.

Be sure to register for tonight’s strike update if you can and make your voices heard!

I just realized something so stupid…it’s because we have a live audience and it’s important for immersion to transform and embody the character. Physical transformation is much more necessary in that live scenario. BUT it lends itself in the booth so much. 🥰

Maybe it’s my theatre background (went to college for it) but everything you just explained sounds to me like…

…being an actor. 😂 And makes sense 🤷‍♂️

Soooo if you’re an actor that embodies a character including physical characteristics such as a change in facial expressions monster how minute they may be…can be defined as “the Thing”?

My head cannon is I’m the reason the VA community is losing its mind about this today 😂

I started in theatre 🎭 (and musical theatre) and believe it set me up for success with work ethic but I also know it gave me some not always healthy idiosyncrasies.

What do you mean by “The Thing”? Genuinely curious.

And that’s not to say that all games are union. This strike isn’t a U vs NU thing. It’s much bigger than that. It’s for everyone. It will ripple past the entertainment industry. Plus, most union changes affect the NU space as well.

You have decency. You’re not acting in a way other twats are. You have consideration for the well being of others.
