The Voiceover Social

They say “But AI sounds so robotic!”

Then they say “There’s no expression! No emotion!”

And then they conclude “It will never take over from a real human.”

In the latest episode of the Voiceover Social, we hear from the company that created "Faith, The First AI That Can Cry" and the actor whose voice was used to make it. Then we ask the actors’ trade union, Equity, what practical steps we can take to stop voiceovers’ livelihoods being completely annihilated.
