So great of you all to do this! I'm certainly behind the #performancematters movement, and wish you all the best of luck there.

So the strike has caused a bit of a stir throughout the US as it is, since there hasn't been a strike since the writer's guild took a stand. Is the strike causing a lot more waves around the Los Angeles area where most of these larger games get made? And is there a way people can support their SAG-AFTRA chapter in this movement in other cities? I'm in Seattle for example, where there's also a ton of game voice work, though I think most of the companies have been working with their VO talent well.

I'd love to ask for VO advice as well as an upcoming VO actor, but that's a whole other can of worms!

Kind of, though I meant more in the entertainment industry. Apologies for the overly broad statement.

Thanks so much! Fight the good fight (or voice the good voice I guess?)

Would you say there's generally more game companies and studios that pay and treat their VO talent fairly, against the list of studios that are being struck against right now? And are smaller and independent game studios generally open to making SAG-AFTRA approved contracts?

I'm also really interested if there's any general movement for diversity in game VO acting? I know L.A has plenty of upcoming talent, but maybe it'd somehow encourage actors/actresses from new and varied backgrounds to participate?
