  • The Digital Skin Trade

    Imagine your digital self being stripped down and sold for parts. Far from science fiction, this is now an everyday fact for many performers.

    For Voice Artists, it means being asked to "sell" their voices as digital skins to be laid over another's performance.

    What's the appeal for brands and advertisers? What are the implications for artists' pay? What about recognition of your work? What protections do we need and what, if any, do we already have?

    We peel back the skin to examine the nature of performance, face and body. And we start, with one of Mathilde's hands...

  • An AI Dubbing Mess

    Did people with ears hear it before it went out?

    That's the Question of the Week, as we consider Amazon's release of some much-loved animé titles, badly dubbed with AI-generated voices.

    Amazon withdrew them, but that doesn't mean the end of AI dubbing.

    So,is it possible to make AI dubbing work for performers? What do the unions, like Equity and SAG have to say on the subject?

    Mathilde's shares her own experience of being in the room with film makers and programme producers on this subject and its wider ramifications.

  • STRIKE THREE
    Dec 25 2025

    We like to open a season with a bit of industrial action and this season is no exception. At the time of recording, Equity UK was awaiting the results of an indicative ballot on strike action. Would performers be prepared to refuse to be scanned on set?

    The outcome on 18th December 2025 was a landslide. Turnout was high (over 75%) with a staggering 99% agreeing to strike if negotiations failed with PACT, the UK trade body which represents the majority of Film & TV companies.

    So, what might that mean going forward?

    But first, we have a little personal catch up since the end of Season 2.
