(okay NOW I can announce it hehe)
I am so so so honored to be the voice of Wuk Lamat in FINAL FANTASY XIV!
I cannot thank

enough for the the dream role of my life.
I'll see you in Tural! 🦁
Last night, 39-year-old composer Ludwig Göransson won his second Academy Award for his score to ‘Oppenheimer’. In a heartfelt speech, he thanked his parents for giving him his foundation in music.
If you’re between 25-29, you’ve reached an age where you’re starting to feel like giving up on yourself, thinking it’s too late to start anew as you see people around you settling down. Don’t let that energy influence you. This phase is crucial; persevere through it.
Thank you all so much for all the love yesterday ❤️ I'm so glad the reception to Wuk Lamat has been overwhelmingly positive, and I sincerely hope that can be used to show producers and casting directors that trans women can be more than just a "niche cast for weird stuff".
FOLKS.
Before everyone clicks " COVID-22 " on their trending tab and starts freaking out, make note that the only news organizations reporting on it right now are tabloids.
I know I've said it a lot but god I am so happy I get to play this character. Trans girls get so royally screwed over in this industry because of our voices that I didn't think I'd ever in my life get to play a cisgender girl in a JRPG 🥹
To my fellow game devs: this might blow your mind, but you can make a non-binary character that isn't "feminine but quirky" you know.
You can make a non-binary character who presents more traditionally masculine, has facial hair, and/or a low voice, and they're still non-binary.
If anyone uses AI to make a character I voice say or sing shit, I'm gonna contact the company who owns the rights to the character and let em know what's up.
Let's see how these AI bro content creators are feeling when a AAA video game company is shoring up their lawyers at em.
It's
#TransDayOfVisibility
, time to make some trans folks visible.
Trans voice actors, musicians, and artists of any kind, post your stuff! As long as it's not NSFW or offensive or something I'll boost it 👍

@jusdaydreamin
If that was my sbux you can bet every one of us would be squeezing their heads out the window to get a look at that cute duck
Anyone else get really irritated when other people are surprised you've never done something before (because you've been poor all your life so why would you have?)
Like, no, of course I've never had a spa day before, they cost like 20 hours minimum wage for a single massage
Y'all may have heard there was a trans character in the news
@NeedforSpeed
. Well...
IT'S ME! I'm the voice of Justicia in NFS: Unbound! To not only see a Latina trans woman in a AAA video game written so well, but to be chosen to be her voice... It's such an honor, man😍😍😍
Since I'm getting a lot of followers, I suppose I should say:
-I post really weird nerd stuff
-Every Thursday I turn into an obnoxious Critical Role fan
-And I have a browser extension that blocks blue checks so if someone is wondering why they're blocked that's probably why

And also many thanks to everyone who reached out with love for the character, for my performance, and especially those who were worried I went silent because of backlash from trolls (it was just a little miscommunication about when I could announce, that's all) ❤️❤️❤️
@ChrisVoiceman
Not to mention like, as an actor if I have a baseline to start with it is SO MUCH EASIER to play around with the character and make it my own, than it is if I start with nothing.
@ChrisVoiceman
4chan is responsible for so many words it's crazy. The etymology behind "weeb" is my favorite. A 4chan moderator decided to make a wordfilter a joke word from a random Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip, and now we rarely even use the original word but a shortened version.
I’m a voice actor!

I'd put this off all 2023 in case someone recognized my voice from the Dawntrail teasers, but now that's not a problem so…

What kind of challenge run you ask? A really silly one, that's what! Please look forward to it!

This episode was the spark I needed to give voice acting another try after giving up for 12 years.
I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for those nerdy ass voice actors sitting around and playing Dungeons & Dragons ❤️
Six years ago today, seven misfits met in the Nestled Nook Inn in Trostenwald and joined together battling a zombie attack at a circus performance. They became the

Adding on to everyone dunking on this incredibly obvious diversion, I, a trans woman voice actor, saw nearly all the Hogwarts Legacy auditions (and promptly ignored them)...
...but I never saw this one 🙃
(No fooling this time, this one's the real deal 😋)
I've put together a visual reel of some of my recent VO work! From lion ladies🦁to dark knights⚔️to silly lil guys👻, video games to anime films to audiobooks, I've voiced 'em all!

Not to be a total doomer on main but man being a trans woman voice actor has pretty much ruined anime for me
I love mermaids to death and this is 100% my jam, but all I can think about is how my chances of voicing anyone in this are dead on arrival because of my gender identity.

I've been needing to get this off my chest for a very, very long time, and have only kept quiet for so long because of the fear that it might hurt my career. But honestly, enough is enough.

We're pleased to announce FINAL FANTASY XIV:

arrives on Tuesday, July 2, 2024!
Early access is scheduled to begin on Friday, June 28 – save the dates! 📅
A reminder that "trans" does not mean "woman lite". These stereotypes greatly hurt AMAB people and trans men. If you:
- present masculine
- have a voice affected by T
- are balding
- are over 6ft tall
- have facial hair
You are still valid. They can't take that away from you ❤️
*repeatedly seeing other VAs talking about cosplaying their characters*
If I were to cosplay Wuk Lamat I would
a) need to hit the gym HARD because I am a twig 💀
b) need a makeup artist who could craft the hrothgar snout because if I were to do it I'd go all the way 😤
I've already made more from VO in just 3 months this year than I did all of 2023.
I don't mean that to brag, just thinking back on how godawful a year 2023 was 😅
I know it's not
#transdayofvisibility
yet, but I need to say this.
When I say "trans women suffer tokenization like nobody else in VO" I mean: I've been LA repped for 5 years, and Gloucester is the first time I've ever booked a male character who's just "a man". With THIS voice.
You ever just forget to make something official for months and months and months? Nah, me neither.
Anyway, I'm no longer freelancing and am now officially signed with

In all seriousness though, I'm so honored to be in one of the last production Akira Toriyama was on before his tragic passing. You should go watch it, it's great 😊
I'm just going to preemptively lock replies to this one because I'm still too under the weather to argue this YET AGAIN right now.
AFAB trans voice actors: Quit. Playing. Trans women.
I don't care if you're also trans. That doesn't make it okay. It never WILL be okay.
This one's for all the trolls in my thread who've been giving me shit for daring to say non-binary people can present in a traditionally masculine way. (Also spoiler: I AM non-binary, and the "feminine but quirky" type I was criticizing being the only representation we get)
Last things I'm gonna say on this:
- the way people buried the point I was making bc we disagreed on "feminine" and "masculine" literally proves my point.
- the many thankful DMs I've received from AMAB NBs too scared to say anything publicly means more than all your hatred ❤️

My problem with video game romances isn't that they gross me out (i'm ace not aro)
but that the romance options are presented like items at a shop, all lined up for you to decide which to purchase.
There's gotta be a better way to design them 🤔 (looking at you farming sims)
I've been getting more and more VO casting work lately, so rather than go on Twitter, etc every time and ask people to do the whole convoluted submission thing over and over again I'm creating a roster/mailing list!

I hate that the ONE electric car that takes traction is the worst one, made by the worst guy. It's doing so much damage to EVs in general
As the VO Director, Casting Director, and Dialogue Editor on Cryptmaster, I could not be more proud of each and every one of my actors (and the look of joy on each of their faces when I said "throw 'grounded and natural' out the window" was so wonderful)

Every time I see yet another casting announcement full of nothing but the same cis actors over and over again it only reinforces how badly this industry needs to change. And I don't see many others stepping up to do anything about it so I step up myself.
