In Praise of Pre-Hays: “Morocco” and the Public Domain

It’s a little before noon Sunday, and in a few hours I’ll be heading to the East Side of Providence,
where a film I spent considerable time and effort scoring – “Small Potatoes” – will be premiering as part of the RI International Film Festival.
For some reason, I’m feeling unaccountably nervous … why? It’s not my film! I’m 70 … I should be too old to be nervous.
Anyway, please wish me luck … break a leg, or whatever.
Last month, job boards for actors were flooded with ads looking for people to record “conversations, character voices, and natural speech to help train AI systems," for a project by Microsoft. Payment was orders of magnitude more than a normal acting gig — up to $80,000, where a national ad campaign for a big brand might ordinarily pay $6,000. @404mediaco's Rosie Thomas spoke to voice actors about the "Faustian bargain" of accepting such roles. "You're still taking away tomorrow's meal because they're offering you a little bit more,” says Katie Clark Gray.
