Voice Terms & Conditions

I voice in children's and family/general audiences projects. When it comes to voicing franchise characters, there are a few things I am not voicing at this time. I must vet people a bit to protect my reputation and to respect IP/franchise intellectual property/copyright. And as I offer my time and talent to voice (usually) pro-bono for fan projects, in return, it's fair for me to list some requirements and terms:

Notices Firstly:

  • No unsolicited server or group invites: If you have a Discord project server, I'm open to joining it if I am established to participate in your project. But I do not join servers otherwise.
  • Joining servers to audition: I also do not join servers just to audition. Please provide sides/audition lines and all necessary information in a casting document, on casting call club, via email, or via DM.
  • I am here for voicing: Voice exploration and discussion of the voice type is fine and expected; so is self- or live-direction by you. But I will not contribute to your project in any other way. Please do not ask me to help you write scripts, add ideas to scripts, work on graphics, visuals, marketing, social media, etc.
  • Socializing: Also, I'm not participating in your project for social conversation. If you "require people to be social," I will leave your project. Necessary project pings relating to scripts, deadlines, and so forth, I always pay attention to.
  • Do not ask me for voice coaching, voice help, audition feedback, impression feedback, etc, pro-bono. I'm happy to do so if monetary payment is involved. I may provide these services for a few pro-bono, but that is at my discretion.
  • If you want to pay me for my voicing, that's cool! I will voice for free, but have the right to turn down free and paid projects. And please never offer to pay me in NFTs. I will never accept NFTs.

Franchise/Affiliate Canon/Official Content:

I will not be taking on voicing roles in any of the following official content for any franchise/IP:

  1. Dubs or Re-Dubs of Official Games (they already have English voicing).
  2. Dubs or Re-Dubs of any Official Cartoons, Movies, Radio Programs, Etc.
  3. Dubs of any Official Comics: Archie, Fleetway, IDW, or others.
  4. Basically, any Affiliated Subsidiary, Spin-Off, etc, content on the official market, I will not participate in.

Note: I rarely may break these rules above for a specific, valid reason, but that is per my discretion.

I also am not voicing in these content types:

For any IP/Franchise:

  1. Plush, Stop Motion, Puppets, Models (like wooden rail models, unless the models are really high-quality - ask me), Crossovers
  2. Any fan-created thing (comic, animation, OC, etc) that you did not get clear permission from the author/creator to dub or make a version of.
  3. OC-based content where your OC(s) overshadow canon characters or are obviously self-inserts. Being honest, OCs are sometimes portrayed as "better" than official characters, and come off poorly. There are some projects with OCs I will consider, so take it case-by-case. Just ask me, but please have actual written material I can review with the OC. I will automatically say no if you have nothing to describe your OC properly with.
  4. "Fan player voice packs" for fan games. I will voice in "official voice packs" (as the "official" voice) of a character/characters for a fan game. I won't voice in, "I just want to make a private pack for myself," or, "I just want to make a fan pack of voices available to the public though the role already has an official voice for the fan game."
  5. VR Chat, Minecraft, FNF, YT livestreams, or any other "virtual" or game experience roleplaying as the character. However, I make an exception for TTTE on Roblox or other game engines.
  6. Text or voice roleplays.

For Sonic specifically:

  1. Projects where Sonic characters are humans (aka - when their species is changed).
  2. Underaged ships with characters doing anything "in a romantic relationship" (Tails/Cosmo, Tails/Cream, etc).
  3. Fetishes (foot, constipation, morbidly obese belly/pregnancy, etc). Just don't.

For Thomas the Tank Engine specifically:

  • I'm only considering content made from Trainz/Train Simulator, Roblox, or other similar software/game.
  • As said above, if you're using models and they're really high-quality, please ask me.

But, I will gladly voice in fan-created content under these specifics! This includes, but is not limited to the following:

  1. Almost any "original" fan story (fan-created comic, audio piece, game, 2D & 3D animation, etc).
  2. Fan projects that don't use or rely heavily on official content - aka, the fan projects need to primarily rely on their own stories, voice actors, visuals, 2D/3D rendered models, and other assets. Official music and some official SFX are fine.

Lastly, I will not participate in any kind of fan content that has any of the following included in the story/content:

  1. I voice in Y/Y7/G/PG content. This is basically kids and family-friendly (general audiences). I do not personally voice, or participate in content where my role(s) or any other roles uses language including these words (and similar & derivatives): fuck, bitch, ass, bastard, bullshit, shit, cunt, piss, god damn, jesus christ, etc.
  2. Any racist/racially-targeted themes. There are exceptions, if done well, like to show how prejudices are terrible.
  3. Discrimination of any kind: racial, religious, gender, etc.
  4. Hate speech.
  5. Sexual content beyond a kiss or a hug now and then. I will not participate in Lemons or Limes.
  6. Content with the purpose to antagonize others (like, SonAmy content purposefully created to promote that ship and insult/put down other ships).

In addition, it's super helpful if you have your project at a decent stage into pre-production. I may decline voicing or even considering sending you auditions if you do not have at least some of the following ready:

  1. A decent summary you can send me about your project. I WILL NOT voice for you if you send me any kind of messages like, "I have a project I wanna make. X needs a voice. Interested?" This tells me nothing about your project and I will not commit myself blindly even to auditions without proper information to consider first.
  2. In your project overview summary, please try to at least include the following: What is it? What format is it? Is it single or multi-episodic? Is it family-friendly? Any OCs? Any language? If this is a dub from a fan creation (like a comic)? Is it yours, or did you get the artist/author's permission to dub it?
  3. Please practice decent punctuation, sentence structure, and English grammar. I've been messaged often by people that write in confusing run-on sentences and vague descriptions. I may decline based on that alone.
  4. Please have audition lines, for current or future auditions. Any response of, "make them up/improv," or, "I dunno," may result in my instant refusal to audition.
  5. A script in some form of draft development.
  6. Your staff in good order, or in the stages of being obtained (Aka, if you literally have no staff at all, I may decline, as this shows me you're 'jumping the gun' to get VAs before you have other staff).
