I'M MOVING TO TOKYO!! After 3 years at Deluxe, I've accepted an offer at a major video game company as a Localization Director! I can't wait to dive back into game loc and start the next chapter of my life in Japan. (1/3)

If you've felt like voice actors don't have enough of a voice (pun intended) in SAG-AFTRA, this is a great way to change that. I'm casting my vote for people I know care about the future of our industry!

We see this "passion tax" in the dubbing market. Wages for production have depressed significantly, meanwhile it's voice acting rates are some of the lowest on the market--even after significant raises.

The simple truth is that Warner Bros owns the copyright to the characters. Without their approval ... we can't make the show. 😞 That's why we need the Internet to voice their hopes for a sequel series! If Tom can go to WB and point to the fervor online, #GKND might actually stand a chance!
Ben Diskin (@bendiskin.bsky.social)
We all want to come back and make this! But we need your help to do it. Help us make this go viral so we can convince WB to let us make you a new show! #GKND

Any attempt to make American society actually better is going to involve actually teaching better. We’re in Hell because people don’t know HOW to think and schools are still mostly concerned with WHAT to think. Why’s critical thinking not a core K-12 subject? Logic&identifying fallacy/manipulation?

Not really, but I tend to pack like a Tetris master. So basically, I don't have a lot of room in my luggage to take home gifts. If it's a print that can fit inside of an 11x17" box, I can probably accept it. If it's like a statue or something thick... 😬

That IS pretty weird. I wonder why that's the case, actually. I'm sure there's SOME kind of reason for it, but if stuntpeople can join, surely wrestlers should be able to as well...
Ben Diskin (@bendiskin.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh. Oh I understand now. Sorry, I think there was a misunderstanding before. I thought you were suggesting he couldn't join because he was a wrestler.
Ben Diskin (@bendiskin.bsky.social) reply parent
It's actually not AI (looks like it though) and, yes, wrestlers can join SAG-AFTRA. But, promoting this guy in particular...... 😬

Casting Whispers features many moments where Victoria doubts her senses and reality isn't what it seems. With these, I gave myself an important rule: "If possible, do not take control away from the player." Most of the time it is happening while in full control of Victoria, not in a cutscene.

Some people don’t understand that those who strike aren’t doing it with the genuine expectation that their lives will magically be better or they’ll gain overnight success They’re doing it because it’s right. To stand with fellow actors That is the guaranteed gain. Showing each other your support.

The script is the most important ingredient, and it's not close. I've been watching this industry try to cut costs there for years and it is showing. If you're not noticing the difference, it's because someone cares enough about quality to push for us to fix it in the booth, when it costs much more.
