Casting voice actors: Fantastic actors get rejected for roles. I honestly wish I could cast 90% of the auditions I get because there is so much talent out there. Rejection is a part of the job, and not an indication you should quit. Keep going- the right role is out there.

Voice actors: A "casting" is going around that looks like a producer is adding VA to an existing successful RPG game, HOWEVER he's nothing to do with the developer, they don't want voice acting and he's highly manipulative, using Pick Up Artist stuff to get VAs to work for free.

An oft-overlooked reason for hiring British voice actors for British roles is that we instinctively understand how dialect relates to class. That’s especially important when making a historical project- or (my favourite) subverting class expectations with a character.

Considering putting a panel together for Rezzed- about how scriptwriting changes when the script is performed by voice actors rather than read. Would that be useful? If so, who wants to join me? Looking for game writers and voice actors (or both like me!), esp marginalised folk

New voice actors: Remember any contracts or release forms can be AMENDED BY YOU if you're unhappy with the terms. Many employers treat them as yes/no docs, but they're business agreements between equals (or should be).

"The voice acting here is spectacular, an amazing cast, with voice direction from one of the safest hands in the industry, Dave Gilbert. Samantha Béart provides the voice of Thomasina, and is pitch-perfect throughout...and not one puts a word wrong."

Beware UK actors- there’s a guy using LinkedIn to try to get performers to do mocap for 4 hours for their AI…for £180. That’s your complete image and data used for whatever forever. Claiming to be from Twine.

Being a voice over in 2023 means losing out in a commercial because the client wants you cheap, then setting a calendar reminder to check if they’ve cloned your voice from a previous job to use instead.

Stuff the acting books don't cover: Sometimes, for a game VA, you have to read dozens and dozens of names on mailboxes because the artist thought the hallway would look better with more. And you just know someone is going to click on all of them. "Nosy Parker" achievement?

@JustTheClippy All those weird things about your voice and you: don’t iron them out, they are going to be your biggest advantage. Rather than impersonating what you think voice actors sound like, to fit in- be you, explore your strengths and work hard to find the employers who value that.

If you ever think TV actors are impressive because they have chemistry with complete strangers: As a voice actor I sometimes have to have chemistry with people who haven’t even been cast yet!

Point-and-click was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. In 2018 I played so many great p&cs! I've also voiced a lot of 'em too- many coming out next year! Thanks to everyone who cast me, and @AdvXConf For being awesome! Bless our inventories, every one!

This probably looks like your average headshot- but for years I didn't smile in headshots. A well-known photographer told me my smile was "weird" and I should hide it. This indust. suffers from a lot of gross views-I'm inspired by other performers who're able to say "this is me"

The fundamental thing that AI voices misses is that voice actors and voice overs aren’t just voices. My voice has changed over the years but I’m still in demand. When you hire a voice you’re really hiring their brain, mind, personality, creativity, sense of humour. A person.
