Steve Downes and Jen Taylor on AI Voice Over and Union Protections - Motor City Comic Con 2024
Back in May 2024, two months before the video game actors' strike, Jen Taylor and I responded to a question at Motor City Comic Con regarding the use of AI replicating the performances of voice and performance capture actors in video games.
We are now a month into the SAG-AFTRA strike, and the game makers have not budged. All we are asking of these corporations, who make BILLIONS from these games, is to work with my union to develop reasonable guardrails to protect the performances of the actors who bring life and humanity to the games you love.
Stay tuned and subscribe to this channel. I'll have more to say on this topic in the coming weeks.
UNION STRONG!
Steve Downes, the voice of Master Chief, and Jen Taylor, the voice of Cortana, share their thoughts on AI-generated voiceovers and discuss how their union is working to protect their jobs.

    I agree with you guys, AI should be a cautious thing because imagine if someone heard your voice doing what you said like pornography or violence that it tarnished the PR or your image. This could be a whole fiasco and disaster for VA’s, and rather instead of these loose AI creations on the run there should be a standard for keeping them in check. However because the Internet is such a ravaging dog without its collar it’s hard to predict what is gonna happen. I just hope nobody gets hurt from these AI uses despite the memes & videos put out there.

    Can’t believe, using yours and countless other voice actors voices, that there’s not some sort of copyright infringement. Because ya. Exactly. People can make money off you and others. That’s not right. It’s not their voice. At least try to impersonate…

    • @DaPhantomBear34
      @DaPhantomBear34 2 години тому

      Or use a voice to sway viewers for their own gain. Or like you said. Something X rated…

  • @RadarHawk

    AI is certainly a frightening thing for VA's. Unfortunately, the law always takes eons to catch up with technology. Although I think true talent can never be replicated by AI.

    AI should have NO part in Voice Acting. They sound soulless, have no emotions, shallow and it’s something that is only meant for human beings to do. As someone that is trying to get into the voice acting industry for video games, this is definitely a concern. No doubt!

    This is a *very* contentious issue and I'm 100% endorsing the points made here. Difficult as it is to draw it, a line really needs to be drawn and adhered to somehow.

    • @DaPhantomBear34
      @DaPhantomBear34 2 години тому

      Exactly. This is just the start. I’ve never been a fan of AI. Seen one to many movies 😂 but it takes away more jobs. More freedom. And before you know it. No one will have a voice.

    “Sir, permission to leave the station?” “For what purpose, Master Chief?” “To give the Covenant back their bomb.” “…..Permission granted.” “I know what you’re thinking, and it’s crazy.” “So, stay here?” “Unfortunately for us both…I like crazy” “Just one question. What if you miss?” “…..I won’t.”
