Mostly YouTube voiceovers, game characters, and audio stories. Most of my regular work is narrating gaming guides for this YouTube channel, though my full VO portfolio is viewable here.

What sort of stuff do you voice act on?

Man, it's frustrating cause I get it, it's hard to find voice actors and AI does a passably good job. But I'm a voice actor, I put in the work to learn how to do it properly, how to enunciate and regulate cadence and inject emotion and avoid vocal fry, and I just cannot listen to AI readings because they don't do it right. They enunciate lines wrong, they miss emotions, they're overall too flat for anything beyond a business powerpoint.

This extends to most industries being riddled with AI chuff. Speaking as a writer/artist/voice-actor/video editor, I think I'm honestly more liberal than most of my colleagues towards AI art and AI v.o. and ChatGPT and whatnot, I see the value in them and I understand why beginners want to use them, and I think they're a wonderful tool for professionals to augment their workflow. But they aren't replacements for learning the right way to do it, and they truly never will be. Not when you know the craft and can see the many tiny ways they detach from the viewer/reader/consumer's experience with the content.

What do you think about AI taking over voice acting?

Been discussing this on Discord, but there's a fair chance I'll try and buy both scripts for the sake of preservation. Reached out to the seller to see if they can make some sort of combined deal.

The seller got back to me. He says that it would be prohibitively expensive for him to ship items of such high value to Canada, that it could be as much as a couple hundred dollars. But he did ask me to give him my postal code so he could check just how much. I'll keep an eye on my messages and let you know what he says next.
