Is the use of A.I voices is the end of the voiceovers and voice acting ?
Nope ! and that's why . I am a craftsman, I will create, an AI cannot create, it will steal/plunder/and copy. In other words, you no longer have control over your creation. An AI company is managed by sales agents and a few technicians, not actors, artistic directors or sound engineers. You cannot expect a sales agent to be trained as an actor and artistic director, but you are placing the trust in your project in their hands, as if you were hoping to have an actor, artistic director and sound engineer all rolled into one piece of software so that it would be cheaper... Let's just say that's about as smart as asking a clown dressed as a dentist to operate on you, just because he's cheaper than a real dentist. It's up to you. Digital alarm clocks have arrived, yet watches are still around. Digital music is here (Spotify, etc.), yet cassette tapes and vinyl records have been making a comeback for almost 20 years now. There are countless video games these days, yet board games are booming, as are gaming bars. The more technology advances, the more we feel the urge to return to something human. The wow effect of AI will not last. I've put together a little social and science experiment for you, here it is ! A friend sends you an email, fine, that's normal now, but if that same friend sends you a handwritten letter, even a simple postcard, even if it says the same thing as the email, we appreciate it differently. Curious, isn't it? Who are the biggest customers for AI voices? Scammers, bogus telemarketing companies, drop shipping companies, theft and hacking companies, and even online predators targeting your children. It's up to you.
AI voices are the fast food of the voice world. They have a right to exist, as do the companies that trade in them, provided they do so ethically, of course, rather than seeking to profit from the voices of famous deceased actors without the consent of their families and in a manner that disrespects their memory. If there has always been an artistic director for an e-learning project, an audiobook, dubbing, or advertising, there is a good reason for it, and removing that reason will not work in your project's favour, but, yes, you will have made a small saving. But what will this saving cost you ? Ask yourself this. But... it's up to you. However, the ecological disaster caused by the use of AI is not a speech to convince you to choose humans, nor is it propaganda, and even less so fake news. Unfortunately, it is a reality, and the word disaster is about to become the word catastrophe.
It's up to you... indeed.
