Shulk started out as such a sweet boy. Then fame came along & ruined him. Now he's just swinging his sword all over the place. This is the Monads's power!
Good news! You randomly find $44 billion laying around and decide to fund the best film adaptation of a videogame of all time, ever.
What game do you choose, and who stars/directs?

As well as voicing Nintendo characters, I recently filmed an advert for Mario Golf Super Rush, which is apparently doing the rounds on the tv now. I haven’t seen it. If you can find it please send me a link 😉
Lol that this account is verified. Adam Howden's been dead since 2012. Wanked himself to death apparently. Poor bloke. My name is Barry Salmon & I've been mugging you off for years. Video games are shit hahahahaha
Where to start on all this VA pay stuff...? Without proof (emails etc) it seems to be a bit "he said, she said" doesn't it.
I don't know what you all think VAs should get paid. Here in the UK we certainly get less (generally speaking) than our American friends.
Dunno whether to feel flattered or insulted that I’ve been asked to audition for a role in a video game where the character voice reference is ME 😂🤷🏻♂️
We don't expect the same pay as blockbuster films. Shulk would be voiced by Timothée Chalamet & he'd probably be great, but it would be a bit shit for me. I'm glad this conversation is happening. We just want a fair deal & more transparency 😘
Explaining for those who don't seem to grasp this:
I could give a fuck = I care.
I COULDN'T give a fuck = I don't care.
I see a lot of people writing could, when I'm pretty sure they mean couldn't.
When my son, Henry, woke up this morning he found that Elf had popped his Xmas balloon, which made him quite sad.
So tomorrow morning Henry will discover that his other toys have got his back 🦖🧸🦸♂️
I have some big news. I have adopted a kitten. He was stray & found hiding in a wall. A lovely veterinary nurse fostered him for 2 weeks & now he lives with me.
Welcome to the family little ‘Mullido’ ❤️
We're not asking you to pity us. We know the hourly rate is arguably good, but in real terms our wages have decreased. The buyouts haven't increased either & are poor compared to TV/Film. I generally get paid about the same as I was in 2008. Often less.
It’s been an incredibly sad day today. My little buddy, Mulli, was hit by a car & killed. He was just over a year old. Someone found him & took to a vet, who scanned his chip & then called me. We knew something wasn’t right. He doesn’t miss meals.
Strangely, there are positives to that occasionally. I'm an
@EquityUK
member, but not SAG-AFTRA.
Anyway, regardless of what "he said, she said" I don't know any UK based VAs who have been paid $3-4k for a 4 hour session, other than celebs.
I can only imagine how nice it must be to have
@NintendoUK
send you a console as a gift. It’d be really great wouldn’t it.
*quietly sobs into a handkerchief*
I’m that level of Xmas drunk where I sneak away from all the people to snuggle with the cat & tell him how much I love him. It’s probably the most romantic I ever am.
Thought I was off to a winner in 2023. Game voiceovers 2 days in a row, at different studios too, but on the 3rd day...I fell down the stairs whilst carrying my son & a glass of water.
The son & the glass are fine 🤪
Little trick if you need to fart on the London Underground without being caught is wait until the train is coming into the station. As the train slows, your body is forced to lean to the side, making it look like you're farting anyway. So now is the perfect moment to let rip.
