Jessica Vaughn was quoted by Synchtank in their article discussing the current synch sector as a result of the writer’s strike and more.
The after-effects of the writers’ strike in the US are still being felt, with a multitude of productions – and therefore a multitude of synchronization opportunities – put on hold. The actors’ strike, however, is ongoing so the US film and TV industry is going to be caught in limbo for the foreseeable future.

While the strikes are dominating the news agenda here, the sync business is finding new ways to adapt and to seek out/maximize new opportunities.
“With the strike, we are just starting to see a slow down in film and TV opportunities, but that doesn’t mean they’ve come to a screeching halt either,” says Jessica Vaughn, head of sync at Venice Music and president of Head Bitch Music. “I am seeing a huge uptick in gaming, advertising and non-scripted requests come in.”
