  • I’m an actor- mostly theatre. I’ve VO’d a handful of TV commercials. I am not a successful voice actor. It requires as much dedication, training, equipment etc as any career.

    I would recommend two things.

    1. voice classes and books in the tradition of Cecily Berry. You’ll also want to look into some phonetics/IPA work as well. People will expect you to know - for e.g. how and why a southern accent diphthongizes the vowels and which vowels it shares with GenAm vs RP.

    2. music / sound production. You may be expected to do your own noise removal, normalization, amplificiation and limiting.


  • Actor here. Doing intimacy scenes is surprisingly difficult, arguably more so than combat, because usually people train and get certified in sword and dagger, rapier, firearms etc to get cast

    When working a job, putting your mouth on another person’s mouth is a very unusual act, and you want your actors - regardless of gender - to feel safe, comfortable, professional and not exploited - not to mention you might spend 2x 14 hours days on this sequence from multiple angles getting it the same every time




  • different guy here. It seemed to be fairly useful for software engineers to solve quick issues where the answer isn’t immediately obvious - but it’s terrible at most other jobs.

    And part of why it’s bad is because you have to type into a text box what you want and read it back (unless you build you own custom API integration- which goes without saying is also a terrible way to access a product for 99% of people)

    Another part of why it’s bad is because you’re sharing proprietary information with a stranger that is definitely cataloging and profiling it

    Very few people interact with language in a way that is bidirectionally friendly with AI, and AI just isnt very good at writing. It’s very good at creating strings of words that make sense and fit a theme, but most of what makes “very good” writing isn’t just basic competency of the language.


  • I’m just being a silly billy it’s not directed at you.

    It’s more like “ah if only there was a simple solution that could’ve been used.”

    All images are hosted somewhere, I would consider an intern fresh out of college know how to correctly add an image to an email, or at least only be told once if somehow they had never seen this before.

    yeah it uses this really neat semantic rendering programming language for serving structured documents across servers

    It’s a bit tricky, but anyone with at least a Masters in CompSci should be able to parse some of it enough to get the gist. Bear in mind that the “source” is abbreviated to src, and “image” similarly. The rest is coding that gives the computer instructions, you’ll also need to replace FILENAME in the code with the actual filename. It goes like this

    <img src="FILENAME" /> 
    

    Let me know if I can explain it more clearly.
