My feed has been flooded with AI slop. Everything from more anime "dubs", to reels, to every other ad. And I am so tired.
I just want to look at something and not need to be on guard, hesitating to trust in the intentions of everything I come into contact with.

So stoked for you, Adam! And, of course, so so happy that folks will have access to a more accessible TTRPG experience than when I first started. 💖
Delighted to report that NPC Chronicles has reached its first stretch goal so there'll be a ninth NPC archetype added to the #ttrpg soundboard! Higher-tier backers will get to vote on which one it'll be, but I'd love your ideas -- post suggestions in this thread! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hip...
NPC Chronicles: give your NPCs voices by pro voice actors!
NPC Chronicles sound board (PC, Mac) brings your TTRPG sessions to life with hundreds of dialogues performed by real voice actors!

We've got about two weeks left in the #Kickstarter campaign for the #ttrpg voiced dialogue soundboard NPC Chronicles, which I voice several characters in. If you haven't backed it yet and this sounds like your kind of thing, go check it out now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hip...

There's been some chatter again on here about disability, VO, and therefore, accessibility. Thought I'd mention that VO can be used as an accessibility tool!
Ex: A friend and colleague of mine has been working on a product that makes TTRPG's more accessible. 1/2

I have mixed feelings about using mobility aids (only for myself, of course).
What about you - do you use one, how do you feel about it, etc.?

chat help, my Galaxy Tab A (2022) isn't turning on 😭
I've tried 2 diff chargers, I've let it charge for a few hours, I've held down the power button, and separately held down the power + volume down buttons.
I've cleaned the charging part where the usb-c attachment goes.
Plz help im just a girl

Sometimes when a session is booked, I get super in my head - "will I be good enough? What if I can't step up?"
Then, inevitably, as the session gets going, I relax into my training, and my love for the art form. And I let myself PLAY.
Just wanted to document this in the hopes that it helps others.

I tend to not post much bc I fear I have nothing interesting to say, soooo... A few things about me:
✨ I'm short af (5'0" on a good day)
✨ My VO goal is to give people permission to feel as deeply as they need
✨ My personal goal is to make sure cutie patooties (🫵) hydrate

If YOU 🫵 want to take your VO to the next level, do yourself a favor and take Cassandra's class. It changed me for the better, both as a person and as an actor. If you want someone to hold you accountable and cheer you on (as long as you do the work), Cassandra's your gal!
My best project this year so far? My mentorship program. I'm SO incredibly proud of how my students showed up for themselves week after week and became better voice actors.

I still remember when my sibling awkwardly poked their head in my room and said "Hey, there's this weird show with voice actors that I think you'd like."
Crazy to think that 10 years later, #Criticalrole is what saved me and made me want to do vo.
Thanks for everything. <3

Also! Remember that auditioning is the job. For just that little bit of time, the character is fully yours. Even if you don't book it, you still got to breathe life into them. Multiple takes allows you to show them off! And, who knows, you may get shortlisted / called to do the project later!
Know your whys as laid out by the breakdown, then do a take with your best instincts, then do a take where you absolutely play with everything and make it SO FUN, then maybe put the fun take first, then if you don’t get it, you made strong fun choices and that’s a win!
Hey Voice Actors! ✨
Today’s #QOTD is…
Doing multiple takes can be difficult. What are some tricks you've found to help get good variation? 🤔
