The voice actress of the Narrator in Baldur's Gate 3 Amelia Tyler said in a recent interview that her aphantasia has helped her in being a better actress, because she thinks of situations and stuff in terms of emotions. So that way she could get really well into the heads of the characters she played.
Was probably in one or both of these videos:
You attacked someone, only the guards are allowed to do that.
As this one is about to demonstrate.
Thanks for sharing this. It's always comforting to see others being highly successful despite a condition. Her BG3 narration is beautifully-unhinged and one of my favourite aspects of the game, she's so talented.
There's a list on the aphantasia wiki page of notable people with the condition, was quite interesting... namely the head of Pixar. Iirc he did a survey and found a decent number of the people doing animation work were also aphantasic!
I've made some really interesting animations to go with ambient music I write, and it was an enjoyable tangent from only music. I never thought I could do anything visual (I can't draw or paint for shit) but tbh although orders of magnitude more complex than audio design, working with stuff like After Effects came really easily after decades using a DAW.
