Nick Meyer, a voice actor from California, recently parted ways with his talent agency after refusing a job involving AI-generated voice work. His decision stems from a skepticism about machine learning's ability to replicate the emotional depth of human performance. Having found success in voice acting following a transition from traditional film and TV roles, Meyer emphasizes the risks that AI poses to the uniqueness of voice actors while expressing solidarity with others in the industry who are avoiding AI roles.
The biggest problem with machine learning and generative AI is they strip away the distinctiveness of original human talent. This technology does not capture the emotional nuances that a real voice actor uniquely provides.
When I saw that AI was involved in the audition, I immediately felt skepticism, especially with the potential risks of my voice being blended without my consent.
