Hey r/VoiceActing!

Please welcome our German Voice Actor Guest to our subreddit for his official AMA!

They requested to be anonymous due to the Netflix strike but are eager to share their experiences and insights with our subreddit.

They will be happy to take questions throughout the weekend so feel free to chime in at any time!

The moderator team has opened the thread on their behalf to allow more questions before the guest can log in to answer.

Here’s their bio:

> Hey guys, I‘m a German voice actor and I‘ve been in the industry for nearly 6 years.

> As I already had a lot of interesting conversations with anything from techniques to workflow with voice actors from other countries and because many of us (80% of german VAs) are currently striking against Netflix (AI-Training clause), I thought it would be a good idea to open am AMA to answer any questions about AI in Germany, Tips for beginners, Workflow in German studios etc.

> So please, ask as many questions as you wish! I‘m trying to answer all of them!

---

Please remember to keep things civil in the comments and follow r/voiceacting and Reddit’s rules.

Thanks everyone!

We’re thrilled to have a German Voice Actor offering their time to answer any questions at the end of the week regarding voice acting in Germany as well as the German strike against Netflix’s AI-Training Clause. They were verified by the mod team and wish to be anonymous due to the strike.
