Visual Voice Reel 2025 (Pre-Recorded and Streams)
YouTube video by Sam Leonhart

I made my first Visual Voice Reel! It's definitely not the most professional, but I did pull together both pre-recorded VO and voice acting I've done on stream over the last few years. I'll post in-app halves down below, and ways to contact for VO work!

I may be ascared of spiders, but it's time to face my fears with SILKSONG! I may not have beaten the Radiance, but I can still do some damage as Hornet, surely.

We finished Hollow Knight, now let's finish Clair Obscur! We seek to reverse the painted changes to this world, and assert that we, too, may live.

As someone who loves to watch so-bad-its-good content PLEASE understand you can't give shit like this the time of day
The only way to convince these companies to not use AI dubbing is to show it's not profitable, STAY AWAY from hate-watching and instead spend that time watching dubs you love

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

It’s very big “farmhand who opened the henhouse door for the fox extremely upset about all the dead chickens” energy

I find it interesting that they are doing this to a show about a queer csa victim
It feels intentional since they can use the excuse of "well it's too taboo of content to get anyone to dub it normally."

Considering how everything for anime has to be done with the approval of the original Japanese licensor(s) now (this isn't the Wild West of the 90s & earlier), this pretty much means that the Japanese licensor for Banana Fish had to have approved this.
So, who's the licensor for this? Aniplex.

Like, we need to remember that these AI programs do not run on the ether - their ecological impact is because they're power hungry, computer intensive, heat producing systems.
They're EXPENSIVE!
If they don't make money, they GO AWAY.

One of the reasons I've never bought into AI doomerism, is that to believe "it's here to stay, get used to it!" you have to buy into the idea that AI generated elements are so hardcoded or integral as to be permanent, when they really aren't.
You can simply remove it, and it's gone just like that.

I'm not in the habit of publicly naming performances I didn't like (for several reasons...*I* have performances I'm not proud of, maybe it was the director's fault, maybe production was rushed, etc.).
Since I'm hurting any human's feelings, though...this AI dub is just. God. Awful. I mean...WOW.

They pay us so little in dubbing already & clearly think we aren't worth paying at all yet theyre also bringing in celebs for "name factor"
Performance means nothing

Graham Linehan is clearly a deeply unwell man who has given himself psychosis obsessing over trans folks, but the British media and political classes have no choice but to encourage and protect him because of what it says about them, as they fundamentally believe the same things about us as he does.
