@BodhranM RUFIOOOOOOOO love it, man!!

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

@BodhranM I'm very tempted to try that myself one day...

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

What... the actual... hell is this?? I'm not a CI, but I'm a SL user which has enriched my life in ways I cannot repay. Whoever OK'd this needs to either be re-educated or fired. This is what Audism looks like, and it's disgusting.

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

there's more to the acting world than just England. There's actors in Scotland, Wales and Ireland too, and there's just as much talent in those countries combined as there are in England, maybe even more so. All I'm saying is essentially, widen the net, you'll get more people. /3

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

So I'm scrolling through Dpotlight seeing what's out there, I come across something that, on paper, would be PERFECT. Open up the brief, only to find that it's looking for people with a base in England... casting agents, there's actors in Scotland, too. /1

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

I know, I sound like I'm moaning because I'm an out-of-work actor trying to find another job (I kind of am, but I digress), but it's something that has been a problem for a while. Yes, England has the big-name theatres, and that's where they make their money the most, but /2

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

@BodhranM THATS MY DUDE RIGHT THERE! Hope you're feeling a lot better, and that Iceland was awesome!

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

So this is now a thing.... that I'm involved in.... *giddy happy panik* #actor #deafactor #TVshow #comedy https://t.co/L2bBRoAczB

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

Take heed of what the alt text says here... to the brands who do this: stop. The joke is only funny if *everyone* is in on it.

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

@ClaireWetherall That's AWESOME!!!! Well done!!

#DoctorWho HIRE THIS MAN ALREADY

[Bodhrán Mullan @BodhranM]

Who wants to hear my concepts for non-modern day humans as companions in Doctor Who??

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

Seriously, read this. He puts it perfectly.

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

I mean, I make content for films and TV shows, and I play video games... does that count?

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

@LiamODellUK @whtbout2ndbrkfs There's a little bit of maths involved, but if you're a player, it's not something to worry about too much. All you gotta worry about is making an awesome character do awesome things. And you can make them be however you like, too.

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

@LiamODellUK Apparently when the spells are cast by the wizard/sorcerer character, (I forget which) there's sign incorporated into it.

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

@signingmango Take that as a no then 🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah, it's a foreign concept to me too, I doubt I ever had any to begin with 🤣🤣

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

@signingmango This is both funny and relatable, especially since doing self-tapes is the EXACT same deal... hopefully you managed it with some sanity left!

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

@LiamODellUK @DnDMovie I AM SO JEALOUS!!! What're your thoughts on the signing used in the film? I can't wait to see it when it's out!

[Neil @CPDdeaf]

@NadeemRules1 And this is the same dude that say that someone "isn't "D" Deaf because they don't fluently sign... High horse much?
