Voice Actors Face Threat from AI Synthetic Voices
- Generative AI poses a threat to voice actors by enabling studios to replace them with cheaper, synthetic voices
- Voice actors have already had their voices cloned without consent and used in fan projects
- The SAG-AFTRA contract allows studios to use AI to recreate voices without consent for foreign language dubs
- The contract's protections against AI abuse rely largely on studios acting in "good faith," concerning lawyers
- As more roles go to AI, future acting strikes may be less effective at winning protections
