So incredibly proud of our players and our team for providing so much support to children in hospitals who deserve more fun in their lives. Producing for projects like this is what makes volunteering for non-profits like Toontown Rewritten extra special. ❤️

The hard thing about working in VO is i can't ignore the need for a pop filter in any form of media. @secnetwork.bsky.social please 🙏 We need those plosives fixed

The thing about enjoying audiobooks is the risk of being pulled out of the story because you're wondering if a pronunciation problem or grammar oops is something written in - or if nobody gave the narrator the info they needed to get something right.

advice to young writers: - begin the first sentence of every paragraph with, "So basically the whole deal is, is that [...]" - begin subsequent sentences with, "And plus, [...]" - end every paragraph with, "So that basically wraps it up as far as all that goes." - 4 blank lines between paragraphs

When the decision-making call for casting a game takes over 4 hours, you know the voice actors really popped off. It was a lot of roles, sure, but the deliberation was INTENSE 🤯

Top comment on the recent NYT story on DOGE’s young aides www.nytimes.com/shared/comme...

Goran
World - yesterday

As someone who grew up under an authoritarian regime, I can offer one crucial piece of advice: time is everything. If you don’t stand up now—if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt, and refuse to comply—you may lose your country forever. Authoritarianism thrives on silence, hesitation, and fear. The longer people wait, the more entrenched the regime becomes, making resistance exponentially harder. Every moment of inaction is a moment the regime uses to tighten its grip. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now.
