At least it isn't any more expensive than my MLS season pass for a year.
And I can 'Watch' Silo.

(I say watch in quotes because THEY DID NOT HIRE ANYONE TO LIGHT THAT SHOW. I CANNOT SEE THAT SHOW)

yeah, I wound up enjoying some of the world and their "shrines" were well done.
Very much "we have Breath of the Wild at home" but entertaining. And with Ubi's cloud stuff, pre Steam deck, you could play it wherever you owned it.

AAA games marketing is (has always been?) WILD

On the flip side though - good game? Decent? I didn't finish but played a bunch. What if we made Breath of the Wild and UbiSoft map-filler kiss?
Also - fantastic acting from the cast. Top to bottom.

Yup! DD is from out of town! And he's great in any dialect, I've learned.

They lose on purpose. Started under Clinton when the party decided to court corporate donors. They play-act what they support, but really just support Republican lite, corpo friendly policies. Nothing their anyway actually wants. They don't want to "win". Just to stay in power and get corporate $$$

Had to move a little something for it but don’t worry - still there in a place of honor.

It’s criminal.

Also criminal - the ticket pricing and PARKING pricing for the World Cup in the states.

I’m begging you everyone around the world - Do NOT come here for the World Cup.

This is why I teach commercial first. It's actually a challenging acting exercise! And there's more money there.

Money wise, I'd say commercial, animation (tv/cable, not streaming), games, then localization. (dubbing)

ANY non-residual but repeat is best: Walla (HARD to get into), promo, audiobooks

And thus it stuck. The union works to get more from the AAA space, but sadly - there are fewer of those contracts and a lot of them keep going to the same 20 or so actors. Or celebs now.

There's been great work to get more indies and indie friendly union contracts!

Still no residuals. 🤷‍♀️

But something happened in video games. They were already non-union and chugging along just fine. SAG-AFTRA wanted to get involved. (separately for a time! There were competing SAG and AFTRA game contracts!)

One of the concessions to get a contract - no residuals in games.

Best I can do right now is focus on what *always* stands the test of time:

Good work.

Good acting.

How the work is and was always done; how it begins - do I believe you?

Then we create characters, learn to take direction, and how to craft auditions.

The business part?
Details. You'll get there
