In his interview with GLHF, Agiomyrgiannakis argued that AI generated voicesare good for the industry as they fill in background characters, freeing up budget for more real actors. Speaking with GLHF, "Horizon: Zero Dawn" voice actor Ashly Burch pointed out that the Screen Actors Guild offers agreements "designed so indie developers can get access to quality VO without breaking the bank." Bursch went on to say, "You're never going to get a truly dynamic and compelling performance from an AI," and said that it could be used for "combat barks."
Another voice actor interviewed by GLHF, "Red Dead Redemption 2" voice actor Roger Clark, said "I am interested in what AI can do, but its capacity for imitating real people is alarming." Clark then argued that when AIcan listen and respond to a real actor, "we're in trouble." In the same interview,"Firewatch" voice actor Cissy Jones said, "a synthetic performance is soulless by definition, thus losing... the creative spark that comes from people working together."
Altered AI features demonstrations of its tech on their YouTube channel notably one that shows off AI voices in "The Ascent."The full impact of AI on the voice acting industry is yet to be felt, but several developers and even modders are already using AI technology. But if gaming voice actors are to be believed, there's a thin line between AI being a useful tool, and being a roadblock for aspiring VO artists.
