Excellent advice for #voiceover work, avoiding scams, I've seen a few of these tips in different formats, but it's a great reminder to raise awareness.
🎙️ AUDIO ARTISTS BEWARE
Scammers are targeting audio artists more than ever. We’ve received real stories from @EquityUK members who lost work and money to fake clients.
Learn the red flags 🚩 and how to protect yourself...

🚨UK VOICE ACTORS 🚨
A video game AI casting call is doing the rounds in the UK and its vagueness raises red flags.
If you’re considering auditioning for projects like this, casting should be able to answer these questions easily and promptly:

Any use of AI to clone someone’s voice, image, or likeness, should always be OPT-IN only. Identifiable biometric data should be protected and never used for training or cloning without clear informed consent and control.
Federal legislation like the NO FAKES Act will help ensure that ALL Americans have these protections regardless of the state they live in.

Polling stations are NOW OPEN in England, Scotland and Wales to elect 136 English councils, the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Senedd.
Don't forget that in England you'll need to show your photo ID to vote.
Share with everyone you know to tell them to vote too

This week Equity's Kirsten Muat sat before the Women and Equalities Committee @ukcommonscommittees and said what many of our members already know: precarious, low-paid work stops women from speaking out about bad behaviour.
The committee will soon be asking for submissions to their inquiry on Experiences of Women in Live Comedy, watch this space to find out how to take part.

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work.
The opt-out proposal was unfair and unworkable. Many couldn't realistically have opted out at all, and it would have affected small rights holders disproportionately negatively.
We should be grateful to the government for listening to reason on this, rather than just listening to the big tech lobby. They have done the right thing by putting opt-out behind us.
They should now reaffirm what the law says - that AI companies must license people's work if they want to train on it - and commit not to change that law.

Infuriating. And not in the least bit surprising.
This clip makes it abundantly clear the @UKLabour government is planning to introduce a copyright exception for commercial research (read: AI training) - which would be disastrous for British creatives.
When asked the simple question of whether AI companies will be required to license copyrighted work they want to train on in the UK (as they are required to do at the moment!), this government minister says:
"Our priority is to ensure that the UK is ready for AI-related risks while supporting responsible innovation and long-term growth."
If you are planning on maintaining robust copyright laws that protect creators, this is not the answer you give.
This is the answer you give if you're preparing to try to justify upending the law and throwing creatives under the bus.
Creatives in the UK gearing up for a big fight, I think.

Did people with ears hear it before it went out? We consider Amazon's release of some much-loved animé titles, badly dubbed with AI voices.
Is it possible to make AI dubbing work for performers?
