Will the Minister provide an update on what Welsh Government support is available for voice-over actors?
Creative Wales does not prioritise any one part of the freelance community. Our support is targeted at our priority sectors of Screen, Music, Games and Animation. Creative Wales ensures a wide range of freelance roles are routinely available by funding a range of indigenous and inward investment productions across HETV, film and animation. All of these productions incentivise the use of Welsh based talent.
Freelance illustrators working in the media sector can also apply for the freelancer development fund provided by media.cymru. This provides up to £1,500 per person to cover loss of earning during eligible training undertaken by the applicant, as well as further funds towards the training itself provided through the Welsh Government’s Flexible Skills Programme.
