Introduction & Disclaimer

Hello there!

I go by Alykkat on the internet and recently I’ve begun my journey as a game developer in my spare time.

Shameless ask to please follow my game development social channels:

Okay, moving on…

This past weekend I began my participation in my first ever game jam! This game jam focuses on using only one of any asset type with a 1,000 word limit.

I wanted to include voice acting and recalled a Twitch streamer tweeting about wanting to get into VA, so I asked. They said yes! (Yay.) This ultimately led to the accidental viral tweet about doing VA for game jams to gain VA experience.

This post is meant to serve as thoughts on my personal perspective and I offer the following disclaimers:

1. I am not a full time game developer

2. I am not a voice actor

3. I have not done open casting calls for voice acting

4. This is meant to be food for thought based on a specific thing that I have done

5. I don’t know anything about VA unions — I recommend doing a search on those.

6. Always be mindful of who you share your likeness with and ensure that you have a clear agreed upon understanding of what you’re signing up for.

7. Please read to the end of this blog post for resources and other recommendations
