Episode 275: Voice actors and the threat of A.I.

For months, voice actors on both sides of the border have been sounding the alarm about the ways that artificial intelligence (A.I.) can be manipulated, not only to fool audiences, but to exploit artists. It’s already happening. Like Ursula in The Little Mermaid, A.I. and the companies who wield it are stealing voices and pushing artists out of the equation altogether – something that an astounding number of voice actors in Vancouver have experienced firsthand. In this special episode, voice actors Bill Newton (LEGO Marvel Avengers) and Jesse Inocalla (The Dragon Prince) discuss the impact of A.I. on the entertainment industry in general and voice actors in particular, and why A.I. poses an existential threat to the entire profession. 

Note from Sabrina: “This episode was recorded with two mics instead of the necessary three, and thus, the sound quality is *fiiiiine*, but not perfect. The conversation, though, is phenomenal. We’ve found the wayward mic cord and promise it won’t happen again!”
