ADVOCACY
Fighting for the human voice in the age of AI
Alongside a working career behind the mic, on stage, and as studio owner, Tim co-founded two organizations pushing for consent, control, compensation and transparency in how AI uses creative works. NAVA represents voice actors directly. CCAI brings every part of film, television and content creation into the same room.
