Super excited for you all to meet the whole crew, but especially Barbatos, because he's me! >:D

✨ CAST & CREW:
Just going to come out and say this:
Anime fans. STOP HARASSING FEMALE ACTORS IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEIR VOICES. In the past few months, we have seen the internet go crazy in support of male actors, and gang up with hate on female actors. This is NOT OKAY.
Friendly reminder for all fans:
Anime dubs are not affected by the SAG-AFTRA strike at this time! Please do not accuse anime dub actors of crossing picket lines or ignoring the strike. The collection of agreements in the entertainment industry is complex! :)
Growing up, it was hard to find any Black characters in anime. You had to make someone "honorary." That's changing now as more and more POC characters are starting to show up. Great to see more POC VAs getting work, too! :D
#animewhileblack
Listen, at this point, everyone needs to just not buy attendee badges.
We ALL want cons to come back. But until they're safe, we absolutely should NOT be having them, "safety measures" or no. COVID-19 is not a hoax, it's not a ploy. It's life & death.
No one can accuse me of not trying. This "historic moment" is going to be another in a long list of times the union failed to recognize the actual threat. The technology is absolutely there, and we have given them all they need to replace us.
This is a failure. Full stop.
🧵Dear
#SagAftraMembers
:
Today we close out one of the most important chapters in recent entertainment industry history. The 2023 TV/Theatrical Contracts have officially been ratified by SAG-AFTRA members by a vote of 78.33% to 21.67% with a turnout of 38.15%. (1/8)
I'm so tired. So many people looking at the Jenny Slate recasting going "race shouldn't matter in the VO industry! This is the one acting profession where anyone can play anyone!" You're right, it shouldn't. But it does. And everyone IN the industry knows it.
Shout out to all the voice actors who aren't popular, internet famous, don't have the "Big Roles," but keep on doing their thing for the love of the art. Especially all you internal training video folks! People may not always see your work but that doesn't make it any less valid!
It is my absolute joy to announce that you can find me through the latest
#GenshinImpact
update (2.0)! Catch me as Sakujirou, Tokuda, Madarame Hyakubei, and more!
Big thanks to
@ChrisFaiella
& the folks at MiHoYo for bringing me along! Sakujirou was especially fulfilling. <3
Hey everyone,
So, I've set up a GoFundMe to help cover Bunny's upcoming medical procedure. It's a very pricey thing, and I could really use the help. Even if you can't donate, please share the word. Every like and retweet goes a long way. <3
In the newest dub episode of
#DrStone
today on
@FUNimation
, you might have noticed a bright, new addition!
I'm so excited to be joining the Stone Wars as Ukyo Saionji! Big thanks to
@CliffordChapin
for bringing me along! Time to put these ears to work! :D
I'm not being nice anymore.
If you come at me with "haha Texas" bullshit, you're blocked. Stop being an asshole to people who are suffering. It's not cute, it's not funny, and it serves no purpose. Fuck outta here.
Block button getting a lot of use today.
Anyways, thanks for paying attention to those who are. Let's do our best to support all VAs in the industry, because we're one family working towards a common goal. Drink your Respect Women Juice.
I'm just so tired of "good cop" arguments at this point.
A man was shot and killed. Over a traffic violation. The precinct claims it was an "accidental discharge" & that the officer meant to grab his taser.
These are not carried on the same hip. That's bullshit.
#DaunteWright
Shout out to all those teachers out there who had a sleeping student in their class and DIDN'T wake them up by startling them or shouting.
If a student is asleep in your class, it's not because they're bored or lazy; it's because they're exhausted.
Some of y'all don't deserve the internet. For real. The way you interact with people from across the world is acrid. You forget these are people you're talking to. I don't care if they're an entertainer, a creator, or a stranger, show some more respect for crying out loud.
This is unequivocally, unapologetically un-American. YOU DO NOT FIRE ON PEOPLE IN THEIR OWN HOMES. A curfew does not mean people cannot be on their own porches. THIS IS THE US MILITARY FIRING ON US CITIZENS.
THIS. IS. NOT. OKAY.
For absolutely no reason at all, I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone of a couple things:
1) "Antifa" is short for Anti-Fascist. If you're anti-Nazi, you're Antifa.
2) Antifa is not an organization. It's not a group. It's not even a book club.
BEYOND STOKED to announce that I voice Yasha in the
#ChildofKamiariMonth
English dub, now available on
#Netflix
! This movie is so heartfelt & speaks to me on so many levels! Big thanks to
@thereubeh
for trusting me & all the folks at
@iyunosdi
for bringing this dub to life!
I don't want to hear any false narrative "It's not about gender" arguments, either. WE SUPPORT EVERYONE IN THIS INDUSTRY. ALL actors, including dub actors, are putting their hearts and souls into these roles on shows they're passionate about.
I wish more folks in the VO world would see other VAs as their colleagues/coworkers instead of competition. So many talented folks become vitriolic & unpleasant because they see everyone as a rival. People notice that behavior. Trust me, it doesn't lead to more opportunities.
I used to say the most important thing in a young VA's career was perseverance. I still think it's important, but I think what's far more important for new & upcoming VA's is PATIENCE.
There's no timeline but your's. You don't need to have a lead role by 2 years in, or 5, or 10.
So when it's clear that a fandom throws support behind a male actor but hate behind a female one, what else could it be? Just because your waifu doesn't sound like what you imagined doesn't make the performance bad or the actor bad at their job.
This episode of
#DrStone
was so intense, & it was an absolute pleasure to even have been a small part of it. Look at this amazing cast! Everyone working on this show is incredible! Big thanks to
@CliffordChapin
&
@FUNimation
for the joy of being involved. <3
DO NOT TELL ME THESE PROTESTERS ARE THE CAUSE OF THESE RIOTS. When police officers come out and destroy water for those IN PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY, they are committing acts of aggression, violence, and provocation. THIS is why people are angry!
Guys, I'm more than ecstatic to announce that I play Karin in
#FireForceSeason2

Check out the cast and crew:
I've been very quiet about this but today is my last day at my job of 5+ years. I didn't get fired. It's not layoffs. But it's treated me well-enough that I'm in a place where I can try & switch to doing VO & Streaming full time. A longer statement later, but yeah. Feelings. 🥲
Beyond that, they were hired by consummate professionals who also know what they're doing. Don't come on twitter and attack people for doing their damnedest to bring joy and entertainment to folks around the world. You don't like it? Don't watch. That's it.
Dear Everyone:
Please remove "aspiring" from your Twitter bio. You can put "studying" if you really feel it's necessary, but that's it. Are you in art school for animation? Congrats! You're an animator! Doing amateur VO? Welcome to being a Voice Actor! :D
Gonna put this out guys:
See something racist or wildly inappropriate going around twitter? Don't retweet it. Don't quote retweet it. You're just giving that person attention. If you really need to personally call someone out, use screenshots.
I am just so. Very. Tired. Of fighting.
I'm sure folks will sling "naive" or "ignorant" at me, but I'm old enough to remember a time where not every conversation became a fight. When I started on the internet in the late 90s, people actually talked to each other. (1/4)
If you feel like telling a Black creative that they're not a Black creative because they don't meet a certain expectation that YOU think is a requirement:
Don't.
I don't care if you're also Black. Don't do it. You don't get to decide who counts.
So excited to have been a part of
#AttackOnTitan
tonight! I play this bespectacled fella, as well as a few background screamers. A very cool thing to check off the bucket list. :D
I'm stoked to be joining the
#Fate
universe in the dub of Fate/Grand Carnival as G-san (but actually its Geronimo)! The Fate series has always been one of my favorite series, so I can't thank
@mummynyan

@TonyOliverVA

@BangZoom
crew for letting me come play!
Voice actors have a tendency to only look at the mediums we want to be in but aren't yet. We mistakenly feel we've done nothing compared to our peers who are working in those areas. Don't lose sight of the amazing things you've already done! Reply with some of your achievements!
Hey, if you're not watching Deca-dence on
@FUNimation
Now, you should be! So excited to be joining the crew as Gomez, as well as some background folks! The show is gorgeous & the talent working on it are AMAZING! Thanks to
@InmanJeremy
for having me along! :D
They chose not to be forthcoming with information & tell us to do our research without releasing the actual contract to members for reading. An informational graphic & name-calling doesn't inspire confidence. These concerns need to be addressed now, BEFORE they're a problem.
Want to know one of the reasons I've been so busy lately? Here's why! Proud to announce I'm making my Assistant Director debut with this incredible show! This is something special; I KNOW you're all going to love what we've been working on!
Whenever unlucky Izumi gets in trouble, he can always count on his high school sweetheart, Shikimori, to protect him. 🥰

#MegatonGirl
is a show that a dedicated crew has put a lot of time into & I personally have put a lot of money into. It's being reviewbombed by homophobes & bigots. This mathematically doesn't make sense, & every worded review is at minimum 9/10. DO SOMETHING.
Y'all, I'm not really seeing anyone talk about it, but COVID is making a major resurgence right now. Please consider masking up through the holidays, and take care of yourselves! Wash your hands thoroughly, and get your boosters updated. Be safe out there everyone!
Remember when we all made this a meme without even listening to the words being spoken?
Yeah, don't laugh. Listen to these words. Understand what all Black people are dealing with, now, and all their lives. It's not a joke.
For anyone arguing against vaccines because they don't 100% stop the virus:
If it's raining outside, wouldn't you want an umbrella? It can't guarantee that you'll stay 100% dry, but if you take nothing, you will 100% get soaked.
Take an umbrella. Get vaccinated.
I am SO STOKED!!
Jazzed to say I'm the English voice of Jo Jojima in

) in the dub of Full Metal Alchemist: The Revenge of Scar, out now on Netflix! Go check it out! :D
Yeah this? This is abuse of power. Plane and simple. You don't get to just be a tough bully because you have a badge. There is no crime here. This man should not have been detained. Period. This is what we mean when we say police are escalating.
Clarence Thomas should be removed from his seat. He should've been when his wife was implicated in the 1/6 insurrection.
Brett Kavanaugh should be removed from his seat for lying under oath.
Amy Coney Barrett should be removed from her seat for lying under oath.
WHAT. THE ACTUAL. FUCK.
I don't even feel like checking my language here. NO BACKGROUND CHECKS. NO TRAINING. NO LICENSE.
Greg Abbott just wants us all out on the streets killing each other. That's it. There's no other explanation.
Texas lawmakers have approved a measure allowing people to carry handguns without a license, background checks or training. The bill now goes to GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, who has said he will sign it.
They should teach classes on how NOT to tweet.
Like seriously. Not just for actors or public officials. Everyone, EVERYONE should spend more time sending to drafts or just deleting outright. If I had a dollar for every tweet I've NOT tweeted, I could pay my rent for the month.
Yesterday we buried my grandmother. A resilient & powerful woman who lived through polio, WWII, Breast Cancer & more. All throughout she loved her family. An accomplished medical pathologist for 30 years, but her proudest achievement was sewing her grandkids' Halloween costumes.
Labor Day this year means something different. I hope everyone who has the day off realizes it is because of things like the half of the country that are on strike right now that paved the way for their holidays, sick days, included insurance, and all the benefits they enjoy.
Excited to say that you can hear me in 86 EIGHTY-SIX as Kujo Nico, as well as several other faces around the world! Big thanks to

If you destroy physical art, especially historical art from an artist who is no longer living, I already hate you. If you do it to "transition it into the Metaverse," I not only hate you, but you are an idiot who has no business existing in the gene pool of humanity.
How good is your tongue?
Super excited to be joining the cast of

At this point, absolutely no one should be defending AI generated voicework. No one. People do not have the right to use my voice without my consent on ANYTHING. Period. Now, or post-mortem. Absolutely not okay.
Still 30 minutes left in the day so I can say this:
Today marks 15 years of my professional Voice Over career. 15 whole years! I've almost been a professional Voice Actor for half of my life! Crazy to think about how many worlds I've been apart of. Here's to many more! :D
If 82% of Americans made over $400,000 a year, that would mean 278.97 million people made that much money. But the median net worth of the average US home is $97,300.
Somebody needs to check their math...
Well, it took 2 years, but I guess my luck ran out.
Remember y'all, this pandemic is not over. No matter how much you want it to be. I'm triple-vaxxed, mask up everywhere but at home, and Omicron still got me.
So please don't stop being safe. Get vaccinated. Don't be stupid.
CW: Self Harm
In general I have been quiet on this person & all the goings-on, but let me make this abundantly clear: THIS. IS NOT. OKAY.
An audience filled with young people, even children, many of whom may be dealing w/ any number of mental health concerns, and you say this?
Video of Vic's Saturday panel is online now. And boy does he have a REALLY SHITTY idea of a joke that involves self harm. Just feels totally out of left field. Even his own audience full of his most devoted fans shriek in horror at first.
VERY EXCITED TO FINALLY ANNOUNCE THIS!
You can hear me as one half of the amazing THUNDERBOLT in the
#PrinceofTennis
English dub! I voice Shou Ota, and had so much fun with this little spark of energy! I also provided additional voices throughout the series! :D
Not that I can even attend the informational meeting, because it was a tight registration window, and not everyone was able to log in, but "breakdowns" like this are exactly why I'm dubious about this SAG-AFTRA agreement. A thread. (1/7)

Actors: Not every role is going to be your magnum opus. Not every role needs that. You're going to work jobs that don't excite you as much & have roles that don't mean as much to you. But if you treat every role with RESPECT, then you'll give every project exactly what it needs.

This is 100% the fight. It's not about GIVING people roles. It's about giving people the CHANCE to EARN the roles. We're not looking for handouts, just consideration for the same roles everyone else gets to read for. I should be able to read for the same things as my peers.
If you keep your ears peeled, you MIGHT hear a certain someone as additional voices in

Dear fans,
We love you, but you don't own us. You don't get to regulate our grief & we don't owe you an explanation for everything we do or feel. If you can't separate the work we do from our personal lives & feelings, that's a you problem. You're not entitled to everything.
Going off of this... if you're sitting there saying "VA Twitter shouldn't have treated his death like an ARG!"
1) Get some professional help
2) You obviously don't know how vital he was to our community
Those who needed to know, knew. End of story. Get over yourself!
Right now would be a great time for people to examine their parasocial relationships. Are you actually friends with the people you follow? It's 100% okay to not be. You can find interest in the person & their words without being friends. (1/2)

This man was threatened w/ weapons, assaulted, & had his property damaged. If police really want to do their jobs, the people in these videos should be arrested and charged. Peaceful protesters get tear gas, actual armed vigilantes get pats on the back.
