| Voice Actors Brace for Competition as Voice Clone AI Comes to Town As the power of artificial intelligence grows, voice actors are facing a new challenge: competing with an AI they call 'voice clone'. While this AI technology has been around for a while, recent developments suggest that the industry may soon be dominated by the technology. Voice Cloning AI works by taking a recording from a person and using it to generate an exact voice match. This means that, without much difficulty, AI can create pieces of dialogue that perfectly mimic a voice actor's work. As the technology rapidly improves, many voice actors worry that their roles may soon become obsolete. The impact of voice cloning AI could be enormous. In addition to taking away roles from voice actors, this technology could also take their place in writing rooms, allowing for more efficient dialogue generation. Furthermore, voice clone AI could be used to improve the accuracy of translations in different languages. As this technology continues to improve, voice actors must face the reality of displacement. While the industry has grown over the past decades, a dramatic shift towards AI use may put an end to that growth. Fortunately, there may yet be hope. If voice actors can respond to the opportunities presented by this technology, they may yet be able to survive the move to voice cloning AI. |
