We’ve been busy in D.C. making sure voice actors are part of the conversation. From Capitol Hill meetings to law school presentations and international roundtables, this is what it looks like to give your voice a seat at the table. Want to be part of the work? Join NAVA. 📌 navavoices.org

The fight for proper compensation, protections, and unionization has been ongoing in the gaming industry for decades. The many studio closings and layoffs recently have been very heavy. Our hearts go out to all those affected. 🎮🫶 (1/2)

In addition to providing news/resources about our industry, we also love to celebrate games + share in the excitement of what's to come. Sony's State of Play announcements included trailers for new games and IPs, actors returning to beloved franchises, upcoming DLC, long awaited sequels, and more.

“For years they said it would never happen and it fucking is. [They’re] facing everything from stalling at the bargaining table to mass firings, and deciding that it's worth it for a shot at real agency in shaping their working conditions” @selmaleh.bsky.social postgame.substack.com/p/18-reasons...

It was a pleasure to offer my thoughts to @gpm-official.bsky.social about the importance of strike solidarity! Thanks for having me on, and to whoever actually edited Matt Mercer into the clip because of my flippant little gag - I fucking love you.

BBC reports that voice actor Gayanne Potter has had her voice cloned by Al without her consent, and the model is being used as the new announcer voice of ScotRail. She is currently battling for it to be taken down. Story in images and link to the article in thread. (1/5)

A BBC News story page titled “‘Stop using my voice’ - New train announcer is my AI clone” It is accompanied by a photo of Gayanne Potter, the voice actor in question, behind a microphone. She stands in front of a wall of black sound foam, looking at the camera. She is wearing a blue-grey t-shirt, has brown hair pulled back away from her face, and blue eyes. The subtitle says “Gayanne Potter claims recordings of her voice were used unknowingly to train an artificial Scottish speaker called Iona.”The text of the news story, part 1: “A woman who believes her voice has been used to create ScotRail's new Al-generated announcement system is calling for it to be removed from trains. ScotRail recently introduced a synthetic Scottish voice to make onboard announcements in place of pre-recorded human announcers. Voiceover artist Gayanne Potter said the artificial announcer - which is marketed as an imaginary character called lona - was trained by Swedish technology firm ReadSpeaker using her voice. ReadSpeaker told BBC Scotland News it had already addressed Ms Potter's concerns "several times"”The text of the news story, part 2: “ScotRail said it had no plans to remove “Iona” and the dispute was between the company and the voiceover artist.”The text of the news story, part 3: “Ms Potter said she did some work for ReadSpeaker in 2021 which she was told would be used for accessibility and e-learning software. But two years later, when the job was largely forgotten, a friend sent her a link to ReadSpeaker's website. Ms Potter opened the page to find lona - a text-to-speech programme marketed as a red haired woman standing in a Scottish glen. "It is my voice - I'm absolutely certain it's my voice," she said. "I was horrified - the quality of it was dreadful."”

Tomorrow (tonight?) at 1am EST, the House of Representatives Rules committee will vote to approve the text of a federal budget bill, part of which would ban states from regulating AI at all for 10 YEARS. Here’s how the SAG-AFTRA video game strike ties in and what you can do to help:
