gizmodo.com: Towards the end of 2022, there was a big boom in AI-generated art on social media and artist-friendly sites such as ArtStation. Though human artists have been quite vocal about how art generators are copying art that already exists from real creators, AI art is gradually becoming a part of that community and other parts of various entertainment industries such as books or music. And now a similar problem is arising in the voice acting space.

When looking at voice acting, it is really frustrating to consider the fact that voice actors can easily be replaced by ai, especially as someone with an interest in voice acting myself. Ai voice acting can be useful to an extent, like for basic reading prompts, but when it comes to more emotional performances with specific tonal values, it is almost mind-blowing how well an ai machine can manipulate other spoken syllables of past voice reels to create new spoken words, and that is also terrifying. Especially when in comes to voice acting in general, a lot of that work is not taken seriously, and the fact that it is starting to be easy to replicate actors voices makes way for arguments surrounding whether or not voice actors should be paid a fair amount of money when companies could pay less for ai-generated material. I find that there are certain uses for basic ai text-to-speech, but overall, using those types of applications to replicate voice actor’s talented performances is really dampening on the validity of being a voice actor as a whole, and it sucks to see that people are attempting to make this alternative to just paying actors.
