OOOOOOOHHHH SNAP LOOK WHATS FINALLY OUT!
Proud to announce my work as the recording engineer and editor for
#RiverCityGirls2
. We had a lot of fun on this project so go check it out! Thanks to
@WayForward
and
@CristinaVee
for bringing me along for the ride!
I love you wally but after you had a fit in the studio about us trying to appropriately cast a Latino for a role, it's really hard to see what the fuck you are talking about. Btw you made our production And client really uncomfortable by being an "activist" and not an "actor".
Dear Travelers,
After communications with the voice recording agency, we hereby confirm that Elliot Gindi, the English voice actor for Tighnari will no longer be voicing the character in subsequent versions due to a breach of contract.
It's very telling how many castmates have come out to say that they were sus of this guy before all of this went down. And considering the number of people / literal children that have come forward with stories, some pre-genshin fame, it's not surprising. Just fucking awful.
Here is some better advice for aspiring VAs. Don't waste studio time going off on racial tangents. Engineers talk. And I guarantee you that most of us are not afraid to record the bullshit you spout off while the playback is off. Also Most of us are POC.
Also you wasting the first 20 min of our session to talk about how the woke generation would rather take work from you and give it to lazy minorites was halarious. We also wanted an actor and not an activist. Glad that your words resonate true with yourself.
People don't seem to understand how incredibly nice 99% of the VO community is. God forbid that they are firm when boundaries are crossed. The audacity to think Erica was being anything other than that is baffling and people are lucky actors are as nice as they are.
I'm happy for people to get work but also disappointed that all the character models look like they should have been 4 shades darker. It's such a nuanced conversation to have, and it's pretty lame that this damn site really doesn't allow much room for that.
I dont know where this, calling random people "bestie" on the internet thing came from, but it really shouldn't be a thing. It clearly makes people uncomfortable and pushes against set boundaries.
I've been in the room when a client forced a recast because the actor was a "youtube fandubber".
I've also been in the room when the client took an actor off the consideration list for being an "abridger".
Like it or not "fandubbing" can be harmful to a carrer in the long run.
If anyone bugs the genshin cast about getting auditions for a conveniently now available character then I hope you expect to be slapped with a fish in the near future.

I'm saying that the best fit for the role has a high possibility of being someone who matches the character. And until the industry reflects fairness to POCs like it has favored white folk, it should be that way.
Oh man this would be so fucked up if I wasn't laughing so hard at the sheer stupidity of dropping this with zero details. This Only generates concern and distrust within your members. Dead ass only looks like some sneaky shit you gotta pull behind your people's backs.
In all seriousness. It's okay to take a break from social media and recharge your social battery. This is a lot. You are all valid to your feelings. Try to not get caught up in the doom scrolling. Please take care of yourselves.
Actors. Scratch the grill of your mic to test if you are getting signal. DO NOT tap or hit your mic. Not only does this kill the ears of the person on the other end, but it also can harm the internals of the mic. Be nice to your equipment or enginners are gonna do this to you....
Maybe it's just me, but it shouldn't be an issue for anyone to have to fight for a paycheck over a studio's negligence. Just because you're known for being a shady studio doesn't give you a right to ignore contracts. Looks to me like yall can't behave unless a union is present.
Muted the thread. Wanted to address a couple things.
1. People talk in this industry. Especially the ones who Aren't known for their voices. I remember many more sessions with actors who rubbed me the wrong way than those who were cool. (Typically most are super chill anyways).
Anyone who defends this POS in any way needs to take a deep look at themselves. This is clearly not a new thing and there is MORE than enough proof of that. Manipulating and taking advantage of the kindness or fans and castmates is beyond despicable.
Yall. Please. For the love of God AND anime. STOP fucking vaguetweeting about auditions on Twitter. It's bad enough when some people make "the next big sudition" their entire personality. But yall can Not fucking tweet about auditions when they come out its a BAD LOOK.
Did yall get into acting without being traumatized or did yall have to work with *that* director that made you second guess whether you really wanted to act?
Not to mention all of the convenient amount of brand new accounts harassing people? This dude deserves to be locked up. End of story. Fuck him and anyone who is defending him despite everything that has come out.
During DnD session......
DM: We need something. OK Google, play Battle Music
Google: Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh, heaven is a place on earth
Everyone: LEAVE IT
@WallyWingert
Being colorblind is actively harmful to POCs in this industry and discredits the problems that they have faced. Again, until the industry reflects fairness to those who are marginalized in this industry, we need yo do better.
FINALLY. 2 years I've been holding this in. So happy to announce I got to lend some engineering work for DMC5. I've been a fan of this series since the 1st game and it's a dream to be a part of this team. Thanks to the Rouge productions team and everyone involved!!

Hello all! I am proud to announce that I am the recording engineer for
#rentagirlfriend
! Thank you to
@Crunchyroll
and Studiopolis for including me in this journey! Hope you all enjoy it!
Okay but seriously to all of my actors out there!
GET YOUR OWN PERSONAL HEADPHONES PLEASE.
I've said it many times but it's especially important now. Check out some options but my go to set are the Sony MDR 7506. Its affordable at around 100 and they will have lasting quality!
6. Hi, my name is Eddie. I'm a sound engineer. I like coffee and Tea and I'm a huge nerd. I've worked on everything from audiobooks to AAA games. Most of my time here is shitposting but (clearly) I tend to get spicy sometimes. Please don't make the spice my only legacy lol.
Hey

!
So now that Adobe is starting to jump on the AI train...
Reaper is a great alternative to Audition. It has versions for PC and Mac.
It's a One time purchase of ~70$. (No subscription).
Very user friendly and has tons of how-to videos.
Also no AI shenanigans 😎
Alright I wasn't gonna weigh in on anything but I'm exhausted at the amount of bs I'm seeing so here goes nothing.

@khoidaooo
is a dummy head and I will block anyone who disagrees with me and then delete this entire tweet later.
If you gonna take your boothies, can you at Least not directly break NDA by having a visible script or a protools session open in frame? It blows my mind to even address how easily and quietly actors can blacklist themselves. I've seen this multiple times this week alone. People.
We didn't ask to be made into some political standpoint. I certainly can't speak for everyone but I'll be damned if someone compares me or my peers Identities to fucking politics. These are our lives. We didn't make this political. You did with your fucking laws.

My favorite thing about reddit/ the internet in general is how knowledgeable everyone is about the industry. They teach me so many things about my job field that they clearly have a better understanding of. Where would I be without their guidance?
And while most of us aren't into the idea of calling someone out on main, it's gonna happen from time to time if you on that hypocritical bs.
2. Please listen to minorites when they talk about situations that negatively affect their lives.
A sincere apology can go a really long way. That being said, if you dig yourself a hole and then slap away the hands that offer to pull you out, people are going to be reluctant to offer a hand again.
If yall had to call me (or any tech) to ever fix or setup your Source Connect, then you have zero right or knowledge to jump into anything nft related.
3. It cost the vast amount of FREE to not be a dickhead in this industry. And if that takes away from you being able to be yourself in any way, then get out. Seriously we don't care how talented you are if you can't put that aside and do your job just like we do.
@WallyWingert
There is pleanty of non-white talent out there that aren't even Considered because of their looks and that is unacceptable in this industry. We all got competition and there shouldn't be an issue with more of that.
*Walks into session full of people*

Hi I'm your friendly Engineer who also happens to be an asshole let's have fun today
4. To the people saying I'm ending this guys career, please. I'm not by any stretch. I do hope he gets some time to reflect on this, but this is a drop in the bucket in an industry that is this big. That's fine. I made my point and hopefully it has come across.
Looks like the Wolves have come to play! I’m super excited and humbled to announce that I voice the unofficial leader of the 4th house, The Ashen Wolves 🐺, Yuri in Fire Emblem: Three Houses!! Thank you so much to
@Cupofteaprod
@Seitz_Unseen
and
@NintendoAmerica
for having me!!
Reaper is a one time purchase of less than $100 (and basically free if you have a current college ID), and is open source. Highly recommend the VO community to jump off Audition and other Adobe related programs. There are alternatives out there.
Adobe wants to take YOUR work without your consent! They just snuck this toggle into everyone's account settings and set it "on" be default 🚨 shit should be fucking illegal. RT and share please

5. I'm not gonna blow an NDA and throw a studio under the bus for receipts. I'm already gonna get heat from clients by even talking about this and I'm not gonna drag that studio down with me when they were incredibly cool to me about the situation.
Hey guys I’m super late but I’m happy to announce that I was one of the engineers who got to work on the dub of
#ReZero
. Thank you to studio

These were both situations where the actor was more than qualified, but clients saw as a liability. Be careful about what you put your name on. No matter the intentions, fandubs and the like will always be a bad look to certain clients.
