Part 6/9:
With AI's encroachment into the realm of voice acting, veteran actors face a new set of challenges. The potential for one actor’s voice to be replicated indefinitely raises questions about job security and the integrity of precise voice performances. The novelty of using generative AI to produce “swearier” versions of beloved characters like Darth Vader might attract players to Fortnite, but at what price?
While some see the prospect of selling their likeness or voice as a potential financial boon, critics argue that this signifies a degradation of quality and artistry, possibly turning actors into mere commodities. The fear is that studios may soon opt for AI-generated voices over hiring talent, leading to fewer job opportunities for human voice actors.
