Welcome to Episode 10 - Press Pause! In this final episode of Season 4 we did a Q'n'A on each other about aspirations, goals, funny moments, awkward moments, what were proud of and what we would like to aim for in the mid to the long term, something that everyone who listens can think about for themselves Its good to sometimes talk about these things as it sets you mind on what the long term plan may be and also take stock of where you started and where you are now We'll be back in June for Season 5 which were really looking forward to along with a revamped YouTube channel and some other little things thrown in besides A huge thanks to everyone that's been part of this fantastic season, we really appreciate the time you've taken to come and chat with us.

Quick Disclaimer - We had issues with Riverside and had to switch to Zoom and their audio is a little bit processed, Michaels the main casualty! Welcome to Episode 9 - Human Renaissance with NAVA co founder Tim Friedlander! Finally, Michael gets an episode to talk about Ai 😂 But this episode is much more than that. Its the one that matters when it comes to the fight back against illegal cloning Most voice actors have been helpless against the rapid rise of AI cloning, until now. In this incredibly insightful episode, NAVA co founder Tim Friedlander discusses his groundbreaking legislative effort called the No Fakes Act that aims to give voice talent real control over their likenesses and protect their livelihoods. If you've ever worried about how AI could threaten your career, this conversation is your must listen blueprint for advocacy and change. Tim shares candid insights from over 30 years in the industry to the seismic shifts driven by AI technology. You’ll discover the shocking ways AI is being used to clone voices without consent, the current legal loopholes that leave artists vulnerable, and the critical steps creators can take to safeguard their careers today. For our UK and EU listeners, we discuss what current protections are in place that you can utilise if necessary and we chat about what the future of UK/EU legislation may look like We had a great time chatting with Tim and we learned loads, and even if the US legislation won't benefit you, the steps being put in place by NAVA will undoubtedly create a ripple effect that eventually benefits us all Cheers Tim and Carin for setting up this amazing organisation Tim and NAVA can be found at www.navavoices.org Michael can be found at www.manchestervo.co.uk Jen can be found at www.jenlawtonhunt.com
