So, As Some Of You Probably Know, I Recently Premiered The Teaser/trailer Thing For My Webseries Welcome

EVERYONE

My orchestra teacher is rickrolling us

Never thought it would happen

I love this thought :0

the summer art for hattytime (which i'm also talking about the sandy memories art, the art of mu and hat kid chilling on pool chairs and that one acrylic standee of hat kid and conductor playing volleyball, ect.) implies that hat kid visits the planet again during the summer time and that's so cute to me that she probably comes back every year just to see everyone again

So since I've seen an uptick in people using A.I. models to copy a bunch of my friends' voices, I feel compelled to remind people that I DO NOT approve of using my voice in any A.I. related thing.

I'm not some big-name celebrity. You can always try to ask me to voice something. Heck, even if I WAS a bigger name than I am, I'd still love to chat about whatever you'd be interested in having me voice.

Worst case scenario? I say no.

That could very well happen, since I've been trying to branch out to more paid gigs. And any time used on free work could take away from paid opportunities. That said, depending on if I like your idea, I might be interested in doing it regardless of any promised payment.

But when you use A.I. to get voice lines from well-known VA talent, you're taking that choice away. You're forcing a voice actor to fit into a role that they DID NOT approve of. Forcing them to say and do things against their will. Taking away a chance for that voice actor to get a paying opportunity.

I've known this one pro in the VA sphere that's been in TONS of movies, games and shows. And yet, I saw them venting about possibly needing to apply for unemployment due to them not getting voice opportunities. And that's WITH an agent.

Imagine being a fresh face in the scene and not being able to get work because:

1. Someone steals your voice with A.I. instead of hiring you.

2. A bunch of startup projects decide to use A.I. voices instead of getting paid actors.

REALLY put yourself into their shoes. How would you feel if someone stole YOUR voice and used it in something you didn't approve of? Imagine how it feels to lose a chance at doing something you love because "A computer can get the job done."

And the saddest part of all of this; if you use A.I. to get voicework done, you end up with lackluster results. Voice lines devoid of any emotional significance or situational context. And you miss out on collaborating with a potentially fun person to work with.

There are people all over Twitter, CastingCallClub, and other places that are BEGGING to get cast for projects. Even for FREE.

Don't use A.I. Care for VAs.

I've never heard truer words spoken.

Gonna be building a new comp soon, but since that got delayed a bit, I figured I’d put this out there real quick before it’s ACTUALLY April 1st and all the unfunny “jokes” come rollin’ on in XP

Also ye, I’ve actually made some major changes to my Snatcher voice!! Big thanks to @habijob for her pointers, this is defo gonna be less of a throat wrecking voice going forward!

decided to redraw all my characters in my new art style, didn't think it changed that much but damn lol (left is new)

I would like to say, this is SO COOL!!! And though it's not a canon design, at first glance it absolutely could definitely pass as one. And I super appreciate this!!!

Astra has multiple canon forms, and though this wasn't the first thing that came to mind, it's gonna be difficult to imagine much else when I think of this character. And I cannot express enough how much I absolutely love this! Thank you!!! :D

Hey you guys should watch this bcus I voice in it!!! This is my interpretation of one of the characters but not the official design cus there isn't really one I don't think lol https://youtu.be/u9wEiORrBwY?feature=shared
