You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant. 631811531

Mark Sanderlin @marksanderlin.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Audible currently lists those titles as “narrated by virtual voice”. But you could see a scenario where Celeb A gets paid handsomely to clone their voice in exchange for slapping their name on the product. Some companies already offer dead celebs as a voice option. Ghoulish. 040
Mark Sanderlin @marksanderlin.bsky.social · 12/12/2024And you won’t find any sources because of ironclad NDAs that prevent them from even admitting they were involved. But if you’re acquainted with some of the top names in the industry and you compare them with Apple’s AI voice offerings, it’s…pretty clear. 🥴 1130

I've read a lot of very clearly defensive work these past few years - like, "I can pick out exactly what Twitter thread this paragraph is responding to" kind of clear - and it's ruined so many books for me.

Mark Sanderlin @marksanderlin.bsky.social · 02/12/2024A MAJOR shoutout to the indie authors I’ve worked with who, almost to a person, take my contract seriously when I say “payment due on delivery”. Bless you 🙏🏻 They know the bill is coming so the money is ready to go. Why can’t businesses & non profits do the same? 030
Mark Sanderlin @marksanderlin.bsky.social · 02/12/2024The number of times I’ve sent a “hey, you’re now outside of your own effing net 30 terms, where’s my money?” and the response is something like “oh we forgot about you, we’ll submit that now” with NO apology? Appalling. 240
Mark Sanderlin @marksanderlin.bsky.social · 02/12/2024The most respectful bosses/producers/casting people/music directors are the ones who have been freelancers themselves. They GET IT. They understand net 30 is BS with and are way more likely to have a check waiting for you at the end of the gig, and are sincerely apologetic if payment is delayed. 150
Mark Sanderlin @marksanderlin.bsky.social · 02/12/2024The insouciance of people in charge of hiring or paying contractors is really galling sometimes. I’m convinced that it comes down to them being employees who continue to collect their paychecks every two weeks whether they do their jobs or not. 240
