Not having voice work is 100% fine people, you do not need it, but I have a bone to pick when you use AI for it That tells me you really wanted it, but didn’t care enough to find the talent for it

Thank you to @navavoices.bsky.social for their swift action on this. Tip to fellow voice actors: The reason I spotted my voice on this website to begin with was because I enabled Google Search Console for keywords. Please keep your eyes out for any non-consenting usage of AI!

I'm going to say this because I feel like it's incredibly obvious: If you're an artist who reaches out for commissions (scouting clients) and a client says "I'm not interested", please respect them and their time. I've had not 1 but 2 different artists solicit services from me like so...

Heads up if you've got games on itch. io: You need to go into your dashboard and tag them as non-AI or they'll stop showing up in searches. (This is generally a good thing- it's going to remove the ML- generated cruft from circulation 🤘) #TTRPGs

You can still have a successful career as a remote voice actor. I'm seeing a lot of people stressing out and getting upset about the decrease in remote jobs lately, which is completely valid. BUT, don't lose all hope. Here's a list of indie studios/people that cast remotely: #voiceactor #remote
