Synthetic Voice Actors Now Rival Human Voice Actors Says CEO of Replica Studios
- caymanjim 7y agoI haven't yet heard any voice synthesis that isn't buried deep in the uncanny valley. It's exceedingly creepy. A huge number of Amazon Prime educational/documentary videos use synthetic voices that are good enough that I have to listen for a couple minutes to be sure they're fake, but the whole time it's unnerving. I have no doubt that they'll nail it soon (and maybe Replica already has). Despite any misgivings, I really hope David Attenborough gives permission to replicate his voice in perpetuity. I want to hear him narrating Planet Earth forever.
- otakuhacks 7y agoYeah and the applications this has for the gaming and entertainment industries are huge. I'm very excited for this. People can change dialogue at will without the need to book sessions with actors. You could create a radio drama without recording a single clip.
