A still of the character Chihiro in the film “Spirited Away”. A character called No Face is offering her a pile of false gold that has been edited and overlayed with the logos of Claude, OpenAI and Grok. She is saying, “I don’t want any. I don’t need any.”

Across the top and bottom reads in white handwritten all caps type, "I wish you all would love disabled people like you love disabled animals." In the center is an illustration of Jimothy, a raccoon with a spinal syndrome (SSS) that gives him a shortened torso. Surrounding him are different illustrated accents and flowers.

QueerVox @queervox.org · 2mo ago

We have a message from @jpkarliak.bsky.social and a message from @florencewilder.com for you all! Please swipe through as we express gratitude to JP and welcome Florence to their new role!

A Message from JP

Five years ago, I started Queer Vox with the help of my trusted voiceover colleagues and friends Sarah Elmaleh, Linsay Rousseau, and Adi Cabral. Though I have often been the face of the organization, it has never been about me. It was always about creating a lasting resource for the queer community to find voiceover training and networking opportunities, regardless of who was at the helm. In fact, I think the organization can only strengthen and grow with the perspectives and experience of new leadership.

So, in accordance with our bylaws, I have concluded my second term as Queer Vox president, and I enthusiastically welcome our new president, Florence Wilder. I hope you... our members, allies, colleagues, and friends... will support Florence in this endeavor as you have supported me. They are a passionate advocate for the queer community and our industry, and I have every faith in their abilities.

As for me, I will still be at QV as executive director, handling administrative duties behind the scenes, but Florence will be leading the agenda and direction.

Many heartfelt thanks to our outgoing board members Adi, Linsay, and Christine Schermerhorn for their incredible service. And so much gratitude for our continuing (and new!) board members for their assistance during this transition.

A message from Florence

Five years ago, I joined a remote class at Queer Vox to better educate myself in voiceover and, more importantly, in who I was. And—beyond the incredible instruction and guidance from JP Karliak, Sarah Elmaleh, and Brock Powell—I felt a proper found home here. Never have I had such a more-welcoming atmosphere from legit strangers-turned-friends. I knew then that this was a group who I’d gladly devote my life and energy toward.

Queer Vox Academy was built on the strong pillars of its founders, and its current Board of Directors are truly experts in what they do. Thanks to all their efforts, we are poised to continue our mission: training and supporting queer voice actors and advocating for equitable and authentic opportunities.

Queer Vox is a haven for our kind, and a place of ongoing education among the voiceover community. And we will continue this role through our frequent classes, by bolstering a commitment to diverse stories, and proving that we are both queer AND excellent.

My sincerest gratitude goes toward our outgoing Board Members for all they’ve done and continue to do in the industry (seriously, go follow them if you haven’t). Your ambitions and impact are aspirational, and I keep your words close to my heart.

You all, the QVA community, have my sincerest and humblest thanks for this opportunity, and we aim to meet and and positively affect your own hopes for the future. May our tomorrows remain vibrant and our steps unwavering.

I’ve got an updated visual reel! I feel so unbelievably lucky to have voiced characters like Kate Pryde and Black Widow, to be part of franchises like Ghostbusters, to be nominated for awards and to have worked with so many awesome people. Thanks to @vocaltomes.bsky.social for this update!

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

An illustration of the Fellowship, reimagined with Chinese-style period outfits.

An illustration of armors of Gondor, Rohan, and Rivendell Elves, reimagined using different periods of Chinese armors as concepts. On the top right are three side profiles of Rohan man, Gondorian, and Elf with different Chinese hairstyles. On the bottom right is Aragorn's banner redrawn with Chinese influence.

A concept art of Bag End reimagined as Chinese court houses, with tall stone gates, round wooden doors, curved roofs, and open courtyard, nestled in a hill.

A concept art of Rivendell in the style of Chinese painting. Next to it are several props drawn in Chinese style such as Fellowship brooch based on gingko leaves, lembas in the shape of mooncake, Elfstone as round jade, Galadriel's phial in a green jade bottle, and shards of Narsil.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

The image is a four panel black and white comic.

Panel 1- A nondescript person says, "Don't worry about taking too long on my commission! I'm patient and I know you have a life outside work."

Panel 2- A wet pathetic looking artist comes in from off screen, hands held out in front of them, shaking. "Th-Th-"

Panel 3- The artist puts their hand on the persons shoulder, tears still streaming down their face, still shaking. "Thank...Th-"

Panel 4- The person awkwardly pats the artist' back as they sob into the other persons shoulder. "Uh...T-There There..."
