So, new home, I like it here!

For those who don't know me, I'm a voice actor and director and I also advise studios on how to get great performances in their games.

Recently you'll have heard me in; Star Trucker, Frostpunk 2 and the Starfield DLC!

You can create a pipeline where you have a roster of actors "on-call" who can turn round audio within 4 hours, this is not a difficult thing to achieve.

AI is a choice and a different one could easily have been made that would keep it collaborative, ethical and in the spirit of creating art.
If you, as a studio decide you're going to use human voices, you can easily create a fast, responsive pipeline.

There are 1000s of voice actors, ready and available with broadcast quality home studios that can get you audio, fast.

This is a leadership problem, not a logistical one.
Like others I played the Arc Raiders playtest, enjoyed it and was looking forward to the game only to discover they are using AI voices.

Their reasoning was that they can "go from ideation to implemented voice work in hours not months"

Thing is, that's not an AI issue, that's a pipeline problem...

Oooof, you dirty bitch! I'm at a hotel and now hoping the buffet breakfast has plain toast and butter
Talk toppings to me... butter, marmalade, jams, peanut butter, Nutella? What you putting on this bad boy?

I always think there's a purists argument for simple white bread with lashings of good butter.
"Jay, can you give us a read that's the 'Stanley Parable meets Bennett Foddy'?"

I'll do my best...

A busy day yesterday directing at SIDE on day one of a new project!

Highlights were:

Working at SIDE with great actors
Weird "shower show" setup at hotel
AMAZING dinner with a 1KG steak
Hotel Cuck Chair of the year

Happy Friday...
Ah, the internet..

I've clearly woken up to there being some kind of discourse overnight but it's posts that hint at the thing without talking about the thing and then you have to go and fing the thing and see whether or not it's a thing you're actually interested in.

Or... I could stroke my dog

Congrats, very well deserved! Been watching Soulframe with interest and I can't wait to dive in :)
I saw some things today.... THINGS!
Just had to go get a blood test done with the NHS and I was out 2 minutes before my appointment was even due to start...

Needless to say, I bought a lottery ticket on the way home.

Oh nooooo, we were in the same place at the same time and didn't meet!

It my first as well, I'll definitely be back next year, had a blast.
Sat in the airport awaiting my flight home from Gamescom.

Tired, but man is my heart full. For all the trials and tribulations of this industry it has the kindest, most giving people I've ever met.

16yrs I've been here and that wouldn't be the case without the help of the amazing people in it.
And destroy the pun? INCONCEIVABLE!
A long time back I wanted to build a website that had rankings of various coffees that people could score and it would give you their overall public ranking.

LON 🇬🇧 🛫 GER 🇩🇪 for Gamescom...

I also haven't slept since Monday, see me, gib coffee, thanks.

Clearly you've been kidnapped Tom, why are you talking like a youth?
Absolutely, they are still as good as the day I bought them and whenever the come out the wash they are my immediate go-to pair of socks.
Last year, in London, I had to buy an emergency pair of socks. The only place available was a posh shop and one pair of socks was £15, ouch, but needs must.

Let me tell, I'm furious, because a year on they are still the BEST DAMN PAIR OF SOCKS I'VE EVER OWNED. This is how the rich live every day.

Yup, happened to me! It booked me a meeting with someone I'd already got a meeting booked with, making it look like I was moving our existing one, super confusing.
Today the Gamescom AI matched me with someone I already had a meeting booked with and booked us both another meeting 3hrs before our existing (and set us both as confirmed).

Definitely doesn't cause any confusion... *le sigh*
