Arlene snuggled up with Dixie as Atrua pulled out her phone and disliked food service”  hi Tiki, it’s Atrua again , The girls want 7 large flag meals, with all the sauces. Well, all that is available, I know you’ve been low on Onca sauce, on a green chile and Onca fire blast lately.  Also are you available on Saturday for a study session. I’m studying Panther kingdom history from 1000 to 1800 and I’m stuck on the 1500s and I would appreciate some help with that. Yeah there was the stuff tail period where psntheresses had to keep their tails stiff until adulthood.  It sounds like a nightmare to have lived through 0k ok so you have work until when that afternoon? 4? That’s fine I can work with that. Say 530! For the session to start?     A great!  Bring some snacks too, the usual. Anyway when should the food be ready? 30 minutes? Ok I will have Dixie pay you, she tips very well, that girl is loaded. You should see her house Tiki. I’m totally squatting there.” Atrua laughed loudly. See you in 30 girl, thanks.” Atrua hung up and rejoined Dixie and Arlene.” I told her you’re paying. er a little short on money at the moment. I also a tail cover that I can’t seem to get off. I  think I got it in too small a size. Could you please take a look? It’s the purple one, covering the middle of the tail.” Atrua said.  Ok , turn around and let me get a look. “ Atrua turned away from Dixie and arched her back raising her tail out of the water a medium sized purple cover covered the mid sector of Atruas tail. It’s definitely on there tight, I’m not seeing any space  between tail and cover.” Dixie paused. There’s supposed to be.some, to allow the cover to move up and down without falling off.” Mukua said as she came over” That is at least a size too small i if not 2 or 3 sizes Atrua. Junior pantheress, from the color and size.” Yeah, I’m sentimental about it.” Atrua admitted as Dixie reached forward and touched the cover. “ Teah it’s not moving. Let’s see if I can unhinge it with my claws. There’s a button on the top end here, it’s jammed in . Hold on. Dixie  went over to her outfit hanging on the wall and returned with a tweezer like you use for eyebrows. Let’s see if I can get that button back in position. She said gently putting the tweezer edge into the button hole slowly, Dixie got the button to rise and pressed it . The cover slowly parted in the middle and as Dixie pushed it apart she was sprayed in the face with blood from a cut in the tail. As she finally got the cover off, she could seee the cover had cut into the tail and left a bald spot as well as the fur was coked off by the too small cover. Dixie dipped the tail in the water which soon tinted red as the affected area was washed clean . Atrua winced as the water stung. “ Sorry about this Atrua but you have a cut on your tail from the covering.” Dixie said.” I did get it off though.” Thanks Atrua said , turning and looking at her tail. “ I’ll get a bainaid wrap for it. Should be back to normal in a few days without the cover on it.” Might be longer than that, the thing rubbed your tail raw.” Dixie said

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.
