With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man. I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

We have reached a tentative agreement with the video game bargaining group, which includes some of the largest video game companies in the world, and we are hopeful that our video game strike will be suspended in the coming days. #SagAftraStrong ow.ly/wZzx50W6Lwv

The ACTORS want a SAG-AFTRA contract. THE ACTORS. Not the union. THE ACTORS.
ExCuuuuSeeeee Meeee? $782.88 for a SINGLE TICKET to see Waiting for Godot on Broadway at The Hudson with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter?!?!?! INSANE
Last week, two voice actors for Hoyoverse game Zenless Zone Zero were recast because they were withholding work due to the SAG-AFTRA Interactive strike. In these videos, we discuss what happened, why the actors chose to withhold work, and what all this has to do with the threat of AI. 1/3
Just a friendly reminder to my fellow actors. DO NOT SCAB. DO NOT REPLACE ACTORS WHO ARE HOLDING THE LINE DURING THIS STRIKE. It is not the leg up that you think it is. If you want a long and healthy career do yourself a favor and think things through before you *act*.
There are many contracts out there with AI protections, but only SAG Interim & Tiered Budget Contracts provide actors with a legal team to enforce the contract at no cost. Legal fees are expensive, and many actors would have to go into debt to enforce our own contracts if they were violated.
Hey proxies, I was replaced as Soldier 11 because I am unwilling to perform work not covered by a SAG Interim Agreement during a strike for AI protection, the outcome of which will determine the future of our industry. Any other theories that pop up are incorrect. 🧵1/5
Thank you, #SagAftraMember Harrison Ford for speaking up and bringing light to the #VideoGameStrike, and to IMA Negotiating Committee Chair @selmaleh.bsky.social for your invaluable insight! #LevelUpTheContract
How Harrison Ford brought a strike over video game AI to the world’s attention
Voice actors demanding compensation when AI generates performances from their work have taken industrial action since July

It has been 194 days since @sagaftra.org actors started striking video games. In that time, we have signed over 150 games to Interim agreements, proving that our demands are more than reasonable. But the bargaining partners still refuse to give us anything more than lip service. (cont'd)
Welcome to the official SAG-AFTRA Bluesky account! 👋 We are the world’s largest labor union representing performers, broadcasters and recording artists. #SagAftraMember #SagAftraStrong
Hey all! If you don’t see voice actors commenting on IPs affected by the video game strike or are confused by non-specific responses to questions, all of that is likely because actors are under NDA for a lotttt of things at any given time and probably can’t talk about it.
Actors and this business have a LONG MEMORY. And people will talk and gossip about what YOU DID for a LONG TIME. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT audition for ANYTHING that smells like a recast. Do not go in for side letter 6 games. You think you’re getting away with it but PEOPLE TALK & WE ALL KNOW.
Reminder: If you see auditions for beloved characters that are already cast in games, please reach out to that actor so you can verify it’s not a recast. If it is, please DO NOT audition for it. We are all making hard choices during the strike, and we will only win this thing if we stand together 💕
California Wildfire Relief Fund NAVA has set up Fund for those affected. Donate or Request: navavoices.org All donations are tax-deductible and will go directly to helping voice actors and their families recover. It’s times like this when the VO Community is strongest.

I cannot stress this enough. Support your fellow actor. This is not the time to get a “come up”. We are fighting for a better industry not just for us but for future generations to come.

Happy 2025 besties! While it’s a brand new year, we actors are STILL very much on strike. So a reminder that if you’re seeing voices left silent in any games right now, it’s a good indicator that the game isn’t on one of the few safe contracts to work right now.
I love her so much already 🥺 I cannot wait for you all to meet her. Happy holidays everyone. Sending all my love to you all and especially the Lightspeed LA family. They help create so much magic 🎄
