A lovely visit to The Archers today to meet more wonderful Equity members, and to discuss the BBC audio negotiations and pay increases and much more.
It’s day two of our first group of studio sessions with @audibleuk here is Equity member Mylene gearing up to record her pieces for her voice reel. @EquityUK @EquityREC @EquityAudio
If you applied for our Performer Sessions with Audible, check your emails! Emails have gone out today to tell you if you were successful or not. Fingers crossed! @EquityAudio @EquityUK

"This isn't just about actors, it's about every working person in the country," @EquityUK's @paulwfleming tells BBC R4. Essential listening as he & @Mathilde_Pavis of @UniofExeter discuss AI & Performers' Rights. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0016xk…
Really excited about the initiative that Equity's Audio Committee and Race Equalities Committee have launched after much hard work - we've teamed up with Audible to help ensure that more ethnically diverse voices are heard within audiobooks. Apply here: equity.org.uk/about/equity-p…

65% of performers think the development of AI technology poses a threat to their employment opportunities. This figure rose to 93% for audio artists.
Please read the whole report. 👇
Stop AI Stealing the Show.
We're calling on a strengthening of performer's rights across the board.
But we can’t do it without your support!

Such a big response to this casting call shows the appetite for working in Games. All voice artists deserve decent pay and terms - which we have delivered here ow.ly/hGpq50H462i and plan to roll out with all voice studios for Games. Know your worth, and accept nothing less!
Don't forget that @EquityUK has recently agreed a deal for voiceover in Games, and are here to advise you on the kind of ££ you should expect to be paid, and on what terms. Make sure you are in the know before agreeing any contracts - contact me at [email protected]
hello my fellow actors/creatives!! have you ever wanted to voice a character in a video game? If so, keep reading!!
I’ll be organising #auditions for fresh new talent for SIDE UK so drop me a message if you would like more information/to be considered. [all accents welcome]👾

After years of hope and negotiation we have signed a landmark #vodeogame agreement with @equityuk regarding pay &conditions for #actors #voiceactors working in games. A huge thanks to the actors agents and fellow producers who made this possible. eurogamer.net/articles/2021-…
Soooo proud of the Equity members that fought and fought for this - such a landmark for the union and the future of Games. Woohoo!!
The UK's first ever agreement for voice artists engaged on video game recordings is here ✊ The agreement - between Equity & voice studio @omuk_london - will help protect voice artists by setting min. fees and conditions.
