The fact that only one actor is mentioned in this promo is a slap in the face to how voice actors are treated.

I am unbelievably honored, stoked and PROUD AF to announce that I am the voice of VALORANT Agent 19 NEON! 💙💙💙⚡️⚡️⚡️
This has been such a dream come true. I'm kind of at a loss right now. This doesn't feel real. I can't believe I'm really saying this right now.

Hiii I know a lot of you following me aren’t from my country, so I want to explain a little bit.
The people of the Philippines marched today in protest of corrupt government officials who’ve stolen BILLIONS in taxes.
And while we’ve always known we were getting screwed, (cont)

I am ecstatic to announce that I am also the voice of the newest League of Legends champion, Zeri!!! 💚💚💚⚡️⚡️⚡️
Thank you so so much, Riot. To voice in just one of your games is already a huge honor. To be in two is absolutely amazing. I cannot be more grateful.

I can finally say that THIS is what it now looks like to be a Filipino voice actor... in the Philippines!!!
As a kid dreaming of being a voice actor, I thought it was impossible to be in mainstream games and cartoons on TV if I weren't in the US. I can finally say, it's possible

I feel a sense of pride seeing this. Let this light an UNDYING fire in all of the Filipino people. Your anger is so warranted. Do not let it die.
WATCH: Thousands of protesters line flyovers and flood Ortigas Ave. today, Sept. 21, to join the "Trillion Peso March" in commemoration of the 53rd anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law.

Ako po si Vanille Velasquez. Isa po akong voice actress dito sa Pilipinas para sa original cartoons, video games, commercials, at English & Tagalog dubs. Nice to meet you po!
Cute po ng mga reaction niyo 😂

Ok let’s settle this. A voice actor sounding “exactly the same” in multiple roles does not mean they’re a terrible voice actor or isn’t as skilled as other voice actors.
Voice acting ≠ multiple voices
It’s acting with your voice. Period. It’s not a contest for the most voices

I am stoked to announce that I will be playing Sara Baylon in @studioheartbrk's upcoming animated short film, THE LOVERS 🖤
The film is set in Binondo, the Philippines' Chinatown, and it is always an honor and a pleasure to be part of productions that put our culture forward ✨

If you’ve commissioned an artist in the Philippines, please please do not cancel it over our current situation. People may need this now more than ever. This is collectively disheartening for many of us. Please do not add to the anxiety of our artists. Please support them.

Any way we can get “salamat Riot” trending? This truly would not be possible without the wonderful people at @riotgames. I have never seen a Filipino character in a video game this carefully created before. Hearing Tagalog on a AAA title is a massive win for 🇵🇭 representation (+)

A Tiktok using my voice to make my character sing using AI has been brought to my attention.
Please don't do this. Not only is this in itself violating for me personally, it is deeply disturbing bc the song contains the N word in its lyrics. I would never ever ever sing this.

we didn’t really see how horrible it’s gotten until recently when the Department of Public Works and Highways was exposed to have “ghost” projects where basically no work (or substandard work) was done but contractors are fully paid—plus they give cuts to officials!

If you aren’t as passionate about seeing yourself in media, good for you then, it must mean you do see yourself enough. That’s a privilege. But for many underrepresented communities, it means the world to see themselves in media, especially ones that they personally enjoy.

Someone asked me on a live I did on yesterday why we were calling Neon “FilipinO” and not “FilipinA” so for anyone else wondering, it’s because “Filipino” is gender neutral. It doesn’t exclusively mean a Filipino man. You may also call me Filipina, but Filipino is NOT incorrect.

The most prominent contractors involved have 40 luxury cars. Civil engineers involved are exposed to be avid gamblers who spend more time in the casino than in office.
I’m just scratching the surface here. Investigations are ongoing but it isn’t looking great and we are SEETHING

Seeing comments on local news report on Clove being non-binary is sad. It's bad enough in Western cultures, but it's worse here.
If you're a non-binary Filipino Valo player, I see you. You matter.

I want to be proud of my country. I want to see it rise and prosper. I don’t want to be ashamed of it. I don’t want to feel like it’s ridiculous to dream of my country being better.
But it won’t happen if we don’t speak up and show them our anger, that we won’t be fooled anymore

i've always disliked the notion of making a big deal out of this bc i personally prefer to just live my life without feeling obligated to make a grand declaration...

Just to add one more crucial detail in why we’re so riled up: the ghost projects were supposed to be for flood control and prevention, which we so desperately need because we get 20 tropical cyclones annually.

I’ve been tagged in yet another Tiktok using an AI clone of my Neon voice. I kindly ask that you do not support the use of my voice for AI voice cloning.
What is a meme to you could affect our livelihood in the long run. Please be considerate. (1/3)

I just saw someone say Neon and Zeri’s noses look “weird” and as someone who’s been told she has a “big nose” by a foreigner in the past, IT’S NOT WEIRD.
Filipinos have noses like theirs, like MINE, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Voice acting isn’t about being able to do a bunch of distinctly different voices. It’s first and foremost, ACTING with your voice. So we’re not required to be able to do many voices. It helps, yes! But many professional voice actors have been successful with one memorable voice.

One year ago today, I got to send this life changing tweet.
It has been a rollercoaster since but the rush of excitement, anticipation, and pride I had in this moment will always stay with me.
There’s so much I want to say, but I’ll sum it up this way: I’m happy and grateful.
I am unbelievably honored, stoked and PROUD AF to announce that I am the voice of VALORANT Agent 19 NEON! 💙💙💙⚡️⚡️⚡️

Hi local aspiring VAs!
Just a reminder that as a voice actor you’re just there to voice act. You’re not there to edit a video, create graphics, or write your own script. Those are outside of our work and should be paid separately as a completely different job.

Hello aspiring voice actors following me! I’m doing a video (or series of videos depending on the topics we cover) to talk about how you can be a voice actor too!

Hi. I’ve been quietly reading the situation unfold online and I’m not really sure that my input is needed here, but I do want to say that if I was not able to meet you this past weekend because you could not get into the venue, or you were turned away at my booth, I am so sorry.

“you’re not her you’re just the voice”
but you don’t say something like that about live action actors 🙄
Even if we’re “JUST THE VOICE” we embody our characters every time we’re recording for them. We are our characters too.

Hi small creators!
Here’s why turning our voices into AI is bad even if you aren’t profiting from it.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re making money from our voices or not, bc we did not consent to the use our voice in your project.
Money isn’t the issue. It’s respect. (Thread)

This is hella late but I can finally tell y’all that this Neon and Gekko interaction was born out of me asking the team if Neon could have a line talking to Gekko!
Coincidentally @AlejandroRuizVO’s session was scheduled after mine so it lined up and Gekko got to respond too! ✨
Neon finally got her boba that Gekko owed her
