Ep. 91 – JB Blanc
If the industrial workers union can be called the Wobblies, may I sugggest that the voice actor union be called the Warblies?
Assuming you aren’t running away screaming from this post with that horrific semi-pun, this episode we welcome back JB Blanc back on to The Voice Behind. JB joined Evan and Fryda Wolff a year ago to discuss a possible SAG-AFTRA strike as voice actors sought better protections and more transparency from video game publishers. Now it’s a year later, and once again the threat of strike looms.
JB isn’t all about sticking it to cats of various marbling, though. He talks American vs British accents, the importance of doing your homework, being confronted by anime fans at his first convention and working on shows like Hellsing, Beware The Batman, Wii Yoga, Saint’s Row and hundreds of other video games.
If you’d like to follow the ongoing conversation regarding the voice actor’s union’s contract, just keep an eye on #PerformanceMatters.
