Hey US-based artists, our government is preparing an executive order on AI & asking for public comment. Let's get some letters in (AI corps sure are)! You must submit by 11:59 EST tonight!! I made a sample letter with submission instructions. Copy mine & augment, or write your own! bit.ly/429UIIw

VERY FUN NEWS! ✨ SAG-AFTRA's Game Jam Waiver is now publicly available!! There's no way I can fit absolutely everything I want to say about it in 300 characters—both about how to use the waiver/why it's so neat + how absurdly grateful I am to the folks who helped make it a thing—but it's SO cool.

Wall of text reading "What's the Game Jam Waiver?" Followed by "It's really cool!! The game jam waiver is a bespoke "child" of the TBA geared toward the development of games created in a pro bono game jam space (i.e. the game is created within the parameters of a game jam, the final product's not monetized, the dev makes no money, the cast makes no money)." It then explains the mechanics of inputting game data into the jam waiver portal (currently not public/in final QA) and getting approval. The TL;DR on the right reads "TL;DR: Is it being made for a jam? Is no one making any money? If yes to both: congrats!! You can use the waiver." At the bottom of the TL;DR is "If ever you want to monetize the game, it would need to transition from the game jam waiver to the full Tiered Budget Agreement."SAG-AFTRA’s Game Jam Waiver is Now Available!! 6 months of wrangling bureaucracy later… If you are a game director, team lead, or authorized representative who has spoken with your team/game director/etc. about using SAG-AFTRA's game jam waiver and would like to formally apply to it (which allows for the hiring of both nonunion and union talent onto your project, makes any voice acting for your game compliant with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, and means your cast can promo even mid-strike once the game's out), the form is NOW AVAILABLE! https://www.docusign.net/Member/PowerFormSigning.aspx?PowerFormId=4968bfd6-aee4-40e9-a15c-91aaf16293bb&env=na1&acct=1a51019c-9a2d-4e97-b327-9df3349eaa2a&v=2 Please note that certain fields on this form are formatted for US-specific addresses; if you are filling out the paperwork for yourself/someone you're authorized to help and you live outside of the United States, fill in the fields to the best of your ability and then write "N/A" in non-applicable fields. When filling out this form as a producer, please include your given name and surname (not a username; non-legal given names are OK). This form's data is not public-facing, but the union does need it for their records. In terms of "What do I need to do after I submit this?" Send out a copy of the Game Jam Acknowledgment Form to all performers in your cast (names included can be professional names/doesn't need to be folks' legal - please no usernames) As a warning: DocuSign's method of downloading gives you the option to download all the docs as a combined PDF or separately. You will want to download them separately, or else the whole of the Tiered Budget Agreement (all 80 pages!) will be included as well. You do not need to fill out the Final Cast List document; it has been included in the form purely for your reference and records. File away the copy of the waiver returned to you with SAG-AFTRA staff signoff once you/your contact-person receives it Have fun making games!

Hey VAs, reminder that the below email is a scam. Don’t engage with any message detailing a $45/page rate for a 100 page book. This was previously pedaled by someone claiming to rep transperfect. Always interrogate vague job offers, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is 👏

A screenshot of an email sent by someone called ‘Alexander Reed’. It says: Greetings Rhiannon, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Alexander Reed, and I am overseeing an audiobook production that requires the expertise of a skilled and professional voice-over artist. The project entails narrating 100 pages of content, with a competitive compensation of $45per page, amounting to a total of $4,500. To meet project expectations, we require access to professional-grade recording equipment to ensure a high-quality and engaging final product. The timeline for completion is 4-6 days from the agreed start date, so availability to meet this deadline is essential. If this opportunity aligns with your skills and schedule, I would be happy to share further details and provide a sample script for your review. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to express your interest in this collaboration. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.

😂 a friend of mine told me today “hey when you get famous I’m calling it now: you won’t be remembered as your breakout role, people will always recognize you as Elster Signalis like how Steve Blum is the cowboy bebop guy”

It's 2025 and SAG-AFTRA is still on strike for a fair Interactive contract that provides adequate consent and compensation when generative AI uses our voices and likenesses in video games #sagaftrastrong #levelupthecontract
