40. Says any VA who disagrees with the strike is innocent and reasonable. And anyone who disagrees in unprofessional and a manipulator.
41. LBFO does not give them what they ask for on ICDR.
42. Games aren't leaving.
43. Says SAG leadership is ass-kissing performers.

The barest of bare minimums we still need for a semi-safe contract. The extremely narrow definition of what an ICDR is, according to employers, still concerns me, too, as it leaves a lot uncovered. But without these 3 things, we have NO DEAL! #SAGAFTRAstrong #LevelUpTheContract

That means ALL five. Only ONE of the five needs to NOT be met for an ICDR to be used without consent.

It suggests that ICDR suspension during a strike is “negotiable” despite this being only TECHNICALLY true, and about as possible for any given scale actor as negotiating a million bucks.

It suggests PCAP coverage despite the endless terminology changes in their version re: performance definition.

The contract that union games must adhere to when hiring performers.

ICDR - Independently Created Digital Replica

Basically a voice model or synthesized voice with AI.

Cool, so GAI is a technology, and an ICDR (and a DR) is the result.

Both a DR and an ICDR will use GAI, to "algorithmically create" performances. They can't create a workable replica without the tech (GAI)

Can a company generate a digital replica of your (Craig’s) voice without using your name - thereby circumventing the coverage your ICDR would receive by being directly attached to you - and then proceed to use that during a future strike without your consent?

So let’s discuss this LBFO in detail and some of the discrepancies we’ve seen with some of the information being shared to the public, so that we can all come together and make properly informed decisions moving forward.
#videogames #videogamestrike #letsbeinformed
Regarding ICDR (Independently Created Digital Replicas): There are many things that are not covered by an ICDR. Only the things that are specifically mentioned are covered, and must be covered in each section between semicolons, and everything else that isn’t mentioned (or a DR) has no consent, transparency or compensation at all, no coverage on the contract. For voice actors, that means something that performs as you but was prompted by the character name, or anything other than your name, is not covered. Movement and facial performance is essentially carved out entirely, for reasons throughout the paragraph, but definitely if they swap your face out for a different likeness. EX: They could replicate John Wick’s gun-fu directly from the movies, change Keanu Reeves’ face only, and it would not be covered by an ICDR. (“Likeness” refers to your features, not your performance.) ICDRs, Cont. (2/3): “Reasonable Description Required” While there is some information that is required from the employers when they want to make an ICDR of you, they only need to provide that information, “To the extent known at the time of the consent” (that’s actual contract language). The information requested includes a number of different topics, but does not include the length of the role. So, they are contractually able to ask you to sign up for an ICDR and not tell you the size of the role. Does that sound “reasonable” to you? “Covers Replication of You as a Character” The ICDR is a one-time buyout. As written, after you sign an ICDR contract, you will not get any additional payments, nor will you have any control over how that ICDR is used in the future, unless you somehow negotiated those terms into your ICDR agreement ahead of time using your own leverage as an actor. ICDRs, Cont. (3/3) (Yes, It’s THAT Big of an Issue) “Compensation Required” Compensation for an IMA ICDR is freely negotiated. This means there is no minimum scale payment, you have to negotiate the rate as an actor individually. In addition, you do not automatically get pension and health contributions for any wages earned under an ICDR, you have to negotiate those terms into your ICDR contract as well. So, compensation is required, but you only get what you can negotiate based on your individual leverage as an actor. In the Animation and TV/Film contracts, those ICDRs also do not have scale minimums, but they do have any P&H contributions based on the wages negotiated included automatically. Usually compensation, P&H, and the ability to withhold your artistry during a strike are guaranteed by a union contract and not left to individual actors to negotiate. That’s the purpose of a union, to have safe and equitable minimum standards for actors. Do you feel like you have the power to negotiate these things on your own? GAI (Generative AI) “GAI Protections” Again, if employers prompt along the lines of “X character name saying X line”, even if you are the only person who has played that character and it comes out identifiable as you, it would not be covered. No consent, transparency, or compensation. California Law AB 2602 only applies if a contract has not been negotiated by a lawyer or a union. Once a new IMA contract is ratified, that will be the protections we get moving forward. There is no other law to protect us yet. There is also no law pending or passed that will cover you in-character.

keep these ICDR loopholes open, and one has to wonder why! What legitimate use is being protected by these asks? It seems blatantly clear that they intend to leave a hole big enough to drive a truck through and make that the new normal.

There are a lot of images being shared by the community, some of which are, unfortunately, not accurate. It does not help anyone to spread misinformation about the Last Best and Final Offer (LBFO) given to membership in regards to the IMA Contract.
#voiceover #voiceactors
The Latest “LBFO” IMA offer We know there are a lot of images and questions circulating regarding the “LBFO” Let’s discuss some discrepancies we’ve seen & concerns we still have based on what members of Neg Comm have provided (Please note: This is going to be text heavy) Regarding DR (Digital Replicas): There is no such thing as a PCAP DR in the LBFO. Visual DRs are supposed to cover on-camera performances in video games, but the employers still reserve their interpretation of the contract that the only performance capture covered by the IMA is PCAP that has spoken dialogue. They do not consider any “movement-only PCAP” acting and don’t feel that they have to pay motion-only performers under union contracts. Obviously, the union disagrees with that interpretation of the contract, but the committee has tried to make sure that any proposals in the contract effectively retain each side’s positions on this topic to address it in future negotiations. Visual DRs only apply to visual performance (face or body) for cinematics, and only for a specific, objectively identifiable performer. Employers are free to create in-game movement or facial performance without consent, transparency or compensation. “Can Suspend Consent During A Strike” There are five instances in which you would not be able to suspend consent of something that creates new performance, even objectively identifiable as you in-character, during a strike. i. DR (if prepaid sessions’ worth) ii. ICDR iii. Scratch iv. Multi-game rights v. Prompting This could be for one or several of the following reasons: i. Explicitly carved out (ICDR, scratch) ii. Because they can prepay you and they get to “use what they’ve paid for” (DR, ICDR, scratch, multi-game rights) iii. It’s not covered by the contract at all, no consent, transparency, compensation (prompting by ANYTHING other than the actor’s name) And this could be for sideletter 6 games only (multi-game rights, DR) or even for struck games (ICDR, scratch, prompting). To be clear, if they pre-pay you for any of your sessions for a DR, then you can’t suspend that pre-paid DR work during a strike for SL6 games. That can greatly reduce the effect of a strike. In TV/Film, even if they pay you ahead of time, you can go on strike and disrupt production. You are then required to go back to work once the strike is over. So...what can suspend consent during a strike? Vocal and Visual DRs do require capital “C” consent This includes the ability to remove consent during a strike, but your performance has to qualify as one of those two types first. ICDRs have no strike consent provisions at all. Once you sign up for an ICDR, there is no way to revoke your consent. And if they prompt a character voice using the character’s name rather than an actor’s name (e.g. The Voice of Female Commander Shepard from Mass Effect) that digital voice doesn’t even qualify as an ICDR, much less a Vocal DR. This means they can do whatever they want with it since, as far as the contract states, it’s not covered by the IMA.

Exactly. I don't want game work to go away, but I think it's way worse to open Pandora's AI Box and never be able to claw back our consent/usage. Gotta hammer out details NOW, not wait and hope it'll be fine. The unwillingness to change any ICDR language tells me they WILL exploit the loopholes.

🚨 TO GET AHEAD OF THE “ICDR LOOPHOLES” ARGUMENT: 🚨

First off, you don’t have to consent to an ICDR. Full stop. If they use your game audio, past or present, that is automatically a DR. (Not an ICDR, not a prompt GAI.)
May 22, 2025 at 2:11 AM
alexweitzman.bsky.social
This is where the whole “what counts as an ICDR” thing becomes a debacle. Because management has refused to budge on the extremely narrow parameters of what they’d consider an ICDR.

Think of it like a checklist. One checkmark missing, and they don’t ask, they don’t pay.

Over 200 Interim games signed. Our demands are reasonable.

Again I have to ask myself why would they fight so hard to keep these huge ICDR definition loopholes in the contract?
May 22, 2025 at 2:44 PM
quadbonus.bsky.social
Ah I think I see the confusion. You're describing the payment structure (and strike protections) of Vocal Digital Replicas, not ICDRs!

They don't have to tell you how much material you're making an ICDR for. There is no way to revoke your consent from an ICDR once you've made one.
