nope, not in my life.

Give me Nat King Cole and the Vince Guaraldi Trio instead and keep this big box store song as far away form me as possible.
This company totally missed the mark!
The aim is alright, but it ignores the fact that plenty of working actors (voice acting or otherwise) would gladly accept the job because...it’s a job.
My issue (as a black and gay man) is the sense of vocal essentialism that this technology seems to be playing at. Sure, there might be slight vernacular differences, but what pray tell is a “black” voice, or a “gay” voice, or an “Asian” voice, that doesn’t intrinsically dive into the various stereotypes (often…
One would think that that possibility would have crossed their minds. Yet somehow it simply slipped right past them. It’s almost as though they didn’t try.
Even if there is only one single actor blessed with talent to play every character expertly mimicking a Bennetton ad’s worth of ethnicities’ vocal tone and speech patterns...why They always gotta be white?!
Murison’s CEO told BuzzFeed that so-called “open casting”... also prevented Murison from putting its nonwhite employees in the position of having to constantly relive microaggressions or uncomfortable situations in simulations.
In absolute abstract, I can see various arguments for reverse casting in all DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) training pieces, to help (mostly white, male) people over the listening, identification, empathy and understanding hurdles that the reachable audiences for these things displayed to launch such…
When white is always the default and the desire is to only pay lip service to diversity & inclusion, the requirement of critical assessment of the task or asking more than ONE casting agency to send an array of actors is simply too much to ask.
Tech douche bros gonna tech douche bro.
Rest in paradise, Jonshel.
I’d watch that in a hearbeat.
Michael B. Jordan and Melissa McCarthy. Don’t @ me.
a lot of players put crap in their bodies that they shouldn’t, but that crap is OK because someone baffled them with bullshit and/or stroked their ego enough to get them to do it. Speaking plainly and factually about vaccines during a pandemic just doesn’t stoke the fires with arrogant stupid contrarians.
on one side of this “debate” we have the overwhelming body of science and scientists and evidence stating that vaccines are safe and save lives, and on the other we have a bunch of self-absorbed “you’re not the boss of me” dumb shits who will bend over backwards to avoid getting the jab based on the advice of Joe…
A cop who commits crimes is the worst kind of criminal. No one is safe from a cop who gleefully breaks the law.
cops only help if you’re rich, white and/or racist, they don’t give a fuck about anything else.
Ahmaud Arbery was hunted down like a deer in the woods. Full stop. If these motherfuckers get away with it, Georgia should burn like it hasn't since Sherman's March to the sea
Fuck outta here with that ‘it’s a citizen’s duty to help the police’ bullshit. The police aren’t even obligated to protect. And then with the assertion that the cops wouldn’t of caught up, this poor kid must’ve been the goddamn Flash
