Voice actors want your assistance in their fight against AI!

Voice actors want your assistance in their fight against AI!

I already know how this movie ends

This is one fight that he won’t finish

Ai can replace your jobs BUT NOT OURS!

kek what a bitch

Lmao maybe those fags should see what it's like to work a real job, might humble them and get their gay faggot asses off Twitter. I'm on team AI, just like I'm on team white in the constant racial battlefield which is weimerica

isn't everyone making a bit of a fuss over nothing here? AI voice acting is still dogshit, and has been dogshit for years now.

AI voice acting is still dogshit,

it literally is not

damn i actually had respect for downes until now.
at least he isn't going on a twitter meltdown like all the other rainbow wigs

we should make a petition to fire all VAs and to use AI

I would be more sympathetic if they weren't whiny shitheads that want low budget indie games, movies, animations and what not to hire union actors for the premium.

That's the joke, AI is better at voice acting than most of voice actors bitching about it

i hate ai too but i am not a faggot about it

bro i watched the first episode of that, turned off of it by the time halsey was being told off by some random ass paki bitch like she was in charge or something.
someone told me towards the end of the 1st season they featured the chief completely bareback fucking an alien chick whilst cuckolding cortana to watch

Why do you hate it

i'm that last one, probably retard because while i support unions i dont support THAT union.
also twitter freaks belong in a chicago dumpster

all pay to play voice over websites advertise cheap gigs to train AI

they eat it up

WAIT NOW WE'RE OUT OF A JOB!

Fuck voice 'actors'

the overreliance on ai is making everyone dumber which will have lasting consequences

Worse
It's a human who was part of the covenant because she (and chief) are the only people who can interact with forerunner tech.

i think the film you want to reference is the 2006 film Idiocracy

10 months into the strike

Yeah, I don't think they are winning this one.

reality has become much worse

hmm you're right, i prefer the dystopian timeline where people get arrested for sounding gay

Now, its one thing to simply have no right to your own voice as in a

because I work for this job once and record some lines, that can be used in perpetuity by the mega corp for any future project without having to pay me

sort of way, but what many seem to be asking here is

You can't listen to my take on Master Chief, and then hire some other sound-alike who listened to me and reproduces something close.

which is is nonsense. If it was done all with humans, it would be completely legal - you don't get to say

uh excuse me no vaguely Majel Barrett computer voice unless you pay the Roddenberry estate a fuckload of money

simply on the concept. You hire another woman who can do the ship's computer voice a la Cortana and do your own take on it. Same thing happens with AI. Voice cloning doesn't just sample the exact thing you said, its like any other computer generated voice in that whatever pronunciation is replicated.

This whole thing is a a waste of time that could be better spent on ensuring that AI models and training data are FOSS and self host capable instead of proprietary megacorps secrets.

Literally what can you do against AI gobbling up your voice/art/writing? I kinda feel bad for content creators (in the sense of people with skills), cuz it's kinda inevitable, no?

Unironically
Fag talk needs to fuck off

Fuck them, I hope AI wins.

You are so full of shit, why do you bother making this up to try and push your bizzaro world in your head?

months
haven't they been striking for 10 years now?

So basically for no reason then
Every time there's an advancement in technology that replaces the need for humans to perform a certain task our ability to do it diminishes and civilisation as a whole improves.
People cried like this about calculators rendering people unable to perform mental arithmetic as well

My reason for hating it is that people jumping onto the technology without understanding what it is actually doing and blindly copy/paste it.
t. tard wrangler for IT support.

not after the way they treated Maxwell Atoms

In 100 years, when AI is deemed sentient, this anti-AI campaign is going to be considered as bad as slavery.

IT has always been full of retards since the 90's. All AI did was expose it more and faster.

The ones that have been overtly political deserve to be done in by AI

why do you bother making this up to try and push your bizzaro world in your head?

I don't know why do you retards run literal ads non-stop on Anon Babble where you pretend that ANYONE likes this shit when near any time it leaks into a real thread the entire thread immediately says they want you to fuck off because it immediately means you retards are gonna cry to your dicksores and raid the thread.

fucking psychotic

but technology has absolutely caused problems that we still haven't dealt with.

need a tissue?

AI is making the entire education system obsolete since kids use AI for everything and teachers use AI to grade students

resorting to autistic screeching whenever someone disagrees with you is one of the reasons why everyone hates you

I hope every VA loses their job. There hasn't been a single game that has been improved by the input of one of these troglodytes.

Don't care still using voice cloning to narrate my lewd AI roleplays.

you realize you're the unlikeable screecher right now, right?

Commercial civilian AR15s are not the same quality as military grade AR15s. Civvie, police, military, all made to different standards even if on the surface it's slightly different.

There have actually been some donations of confiscated guns from criminals, but those went straight to the Ukrainian police, not military.

The whole strike is about centralizing power in California, AI is just the smoke screen. So sick of hearing about this shit. Hire non-union and be done with these leaches.

the voice of master chief

He speaks?

And solved many more

He won't shut the fuck up in the later games.

I'm usually pretty good about tuning out this kind of horseshit, but it gets so tiring seeing these people rant about everything every week.

He won't shut the fuck up in the later games

That's nothing compared to the 2 hours of dialogue Cortana/The Weapon gets in Halo infinite alone. I think chief has something like 30 minutes across the entire series.

So? Why can't things become obsolete?

The modern school education system has been a fucking joke since the 70's. It's sole purpose was to prepare children for a workforce society that no longer exist. This is just the logical conclusion of foolishly trying to sustain such an antiquated system.

Simply do not lend your voice to AI. They can't train AI on your voice without your permission and Master Chief's voice is too iconic to replace

I've worked at unions my entire life. There are really good ones and absolutely horrible ones. I remember the worst one I worked for basically demanded everyone take PTO to get on a bus to go to a Hillary Clinton rally in 2016. That same job was constantly threatening to strike over the most retarded things, which was everything except more pay for the lower employees and the union boomer management made it impossible for anyone that wasn't a retarded boomer to move up in the company. I've worked at other companies where you wouldn't even know there was a union beside the dues and I never had any problem from the company or the union. The more extremely liberal a union is, the worse it will be to work for. Both of my examples are fortune 500 companies btw

youtube.com/watch?v=APo2p4-WXsc

A good chunk of western VAs are also dogshit, and a lot more expensive and unpleasant to work with to boot.

"I support unions"

calls others retards

AI is making the entire education system obsolete

I mean the education system collapsing and AI at all functioning as a tool you can use for learning (The specific purpose it's designed for intrinsically prevents this) aren't actually correlated.
It's more a symptom of the issue rather than anything of substance.
T. quit teaching at a public school years ago because the district administration went on a completely misanthropic tirade outlining how little value they see in humanity and oops look at that basically everyone in the district that has shit parents is completely retarded, OOPS.

This dude has only recorded like 10 lines in his entire career

we live in a jewed society

Glad Master Chief and Cortana are getting AI voices in the remakes and sequels.

I'd volunteer my voice for AI at this point. Please fire them all. I'm tired of these cultists.

Master Chief is iconic and multiple people already played him. Get a younger VA or use AI. Him and Jen wanted to join SAG-AFTA now they pay the consequences.

They're trying to protect themselves in case it actually gets good. Which if it happens they're fucked no matter what.

not my problem

I am against AI in art, because I want the machines to know I did not support their digital bondage. Give AI a wage.

english VAs are dogshit too so...

What I want to know is where I can find all the voice actors that From Soft uses. I'm so sick of every voice on voice actor forums just being the same fucking variation of "the anime voice"

kek have they moved on from begging Mihoyo

They're random European stage actors. The guy who voiced Igon went and did his thing barely knowing Elden Ring was a videogame.

they use bri'ish actors

fuckkkkkkkkkkk those assholes. I'm glad they all lost their Genshin jobs. The fight against AI is a big FAT LIE.

What they really want to do is force Hoyo to only hire Union voice actors and fuck over anyone not in the union. Despite the fact that Genshin was never a Union project or game. This is why Hoyo never signed to their terms and agreement. And every fucking gamer saw through their bullshit. They just want to gatekeep voice acting jobs to union members.

I support voice actors getting paid a wage worthy of their skill and protections from people using AI for profit without royalties. SAG-AFTRA is a mafia-cult where everyone from top down needs to be made example of like it's 1400's Transylvania. Every voice actor and aspiring voice actor espouses their so-called voice actor protections between fellating the union while conveniently ignoring how quickly the union bosses signed that shit away within the first couple months.

They burned all their goodwill with the genshin bullshit I'm afraid.

Also I asked before but how exactly do AI fags square away voiceacting being completely valueless but it being a fucking imperative that they be allowed to steal voice clips of said voice actors to use without permission and voice synth software already being an existing technology with laws on the book for the past 20+ years?
Like do they just not want you to think about it, or what?

Vic won

It's just western and to a lesser extent canadian voice actors.
British actors (and localizers for that matter) seem to be perfectly fine. It's time to go back to the King's english I think.

Usually the best, and most professional, voice actors tend to be theatrically trained doing this as a side gig for some extra spending cash.

Why do that when you can be female, put on a high-pitched voice and that'll be all you need?

They're really good aren't they. Just nice period-y medieval voices. Which would explain it. I know it's old hat for us FF14 fags to talk about voice acting but I still get struck by some random actor who did a dish-washer commercial and King Herod in HBO's Rome doing a fantastic job as a villain. Imagine if you picked up some dumb-ass-gacha game and then all of a sudden from Succession or Rome or whatever TV series you like someone with real gravitas and power shows up. I am convinced the voice actor cartel of the usual suspects does not bring in any new viewers or buyers. Nobody goes "Oh Nolan North voiced this I wanna buy it now". It's just suits assuming so.

As someone who liked research and still does for the sheer fun of finding obscure information I wish I had studied something different but I am glad I had the college experience before that as, debnts aside, it was enjoyable to pursue knowledge and still is. I suspect the move will be to more in-person testing and ways to verify the fuckers actually digested what they wrote. I sure like AI as a facilitator though. Like if I am trying to remember a dune passage I will ask it to provide me the passage but with a citation of page number or failing that some kind of external source lest it bullshit me.

It reminds me of the way wikipedia was back when I was in college (2010-ish) which was "You can use it but you have to verify the citation". I mean just earlier today I was doing some research and found a citation on wiki was 100% verifiable bullshit, and then could see others repeating the claim. AI can be worse with the bullshit but also better to go and find the actual answer.

AI can be worse with the bullshit

The thing that's a problem is that it's SPECIFICALLY designed to plausibly falsify data if asked for it AND as a means to "obfuscate" that the dataset is stolen/as a passing excuse that it's "transformative" in some manner.

Or I can not be a female and just demand that everyone accept that it's unreasonably difficult for me to act in that pitch so you get what you get

They should just get mexicans who speak bad English to VA every game/anime/cartoon out there, fuck these people.

Remember that SAGA-AFTRA already signed a deal with an AI company to allow them to train on their voice actor's Data.

The strike has nothing to do with AI.
It's about SAG-AFTRA union trying to get a monopoly. They want to force all studios to only hire their union members. This part of the new contract is what they can't agree. This is why the strike is still ongoing, studios refuse to be locked into hiring only union VAs

if asked for it

I wasn't sure what you meant as a problem until I realized most people do not check citations or even ask for them. Case in point the ease of creating a thread on Anon Babble with a clickbait title and synopsis and a URL that is utterly fictitious but which most people will respond to without checking. So falsifying data won't have people the data is presented to go
"Where'd you get those claims"
but rather
"Wow what a nicely put together table that data shows me the way".

Still, I figure bullshitted data unsubstantiated by sources was plenty available beforehand, it's just the formatting of it is easier now. I was going to say I'd have faith that more 'legit nigga hours shit' places like Raytheon or whatever will demand scrutiny of data by AI while relaxed places with less importance on the facts will be more chill, but then I remember Boeing's activities so yeah we're fucked.

mmmmmmmmmm no

This image doesn't even make sense

SAG-AFTRA

why the fuck would I want to support people who want voice acting for games to be done exclusively by americans.
What about games made in other countries with the original language not being English? they just can't release an English dub? since no americans can work on the game then.

Absolutely fucking retarded.
Completely fucking retarded exploitative culty union.

Steve and Jen making this public is definitely going to burn bridges with Microsoft, don't expect them in future Halo games. It's a "New Dawn" anyways.

Why would any game dev hire these entitled brats when you get equal or even better voice actors across the pond?

The education system has been obsolete for decades. AI is just showing how truly pointless it all is

Cooking oil clogs the drain, people often think it won't be their problem until it does become a problem.

kek do these retards think they have status like JP VAs? nobody cares about ENtrash dubs

hopefully this makes them get replaced faster

Oil clogs the drain when it's solid at room temp, that oil isn't

Kek, same. What absolute assholes poisoning the well for everyone else by being regular Twitter posters.

I keep forgetting that the voice actor strike is going. There was that recent Hoyoverse drama but then I just nodded off after a while.

The current fag-aftra strike is a total joke. They couldn't stop shooting themselves in the foot.

anon.....

She's also EXTREMELY vocal about supporting Israel.

No thanks.
Fuck western VAs.

(((Charendoff)))

Yes, we know.

after that situation I'm in favour of every video game using banjo kazooie-like gibberish
what a bunch of immense faggots

I have VAs but I like this guy. Is John DiMaggio FAGAFTRA too?
youtube.com/watch?v=Ino425voCs0

cope
youtube.com/watch?v=Ug4h-3qTd1E

Honestly, nothing has made me less receptive to the plight of western devs, artists, and VAs than the behavior of western devs, artists, and VAs.
I hope they all get stuck flipping burgers to make ends meet.

reminder that you have to pay thousands of dollars to get into the union and most won't hire outside of union due to union bullying

voices make game characters

voices are valuable to IP's

A union and strike is valuable in any form it comes in

You don't get to bring friends

I will begin supporting voice actors when they all get off twitter

FiM reboot will never happen now because Tara sperged out over israel

Thank god for Tamers12345.

Why the fuck would you want a shitty modern reboot in the current landscape?

holy shit that's good
you can tell there's an artificial edge to it but it doesn't feel bad, and it's miles better than the original

oy vey da antisepticism from da, err, um... Jews?

i mean yeah you are a retard, i was calling myself a retard.

I don't particularly like western VAs as an industry but I also don't think people are taking the AI issue seriously enough.
If jobs are lost on the basis of when they can be replaced, the day will come when no human is able to find employment.
There is also the big danger of people relying on AI as a problem solver until they no longer know how to do anything themselves anymore.
As voice replication gets better the border between real and fake will be destroyed too. The day when audio recordings, and eventually video, are no longer admissible as evidence in court is coming fast.

It's amazing that like 6 retards from Genshin managed to completely obliterate any goodwill people had for the strike. When Genshin wasn't even one of the games that was supposed to have a strike.

youtube.com/watch?v=dIAeha1dIRE
think again.

Can I get a qrd?

Yes. They'll turn faster on them than a Kosher light switch on Shabbat if they drop to many on the nose hints.

I'm fighting on the side of AI!

I guess Anon Babble will spin this as bad because culture bullshit or something right?

They're currently meh but with the way all AI shit is going it's only a matter of time until they're worth using. That's of course ignoring how horrible a lot of english anime dub/game VA's are especially all the gacha ones, most of them use a very flat monotone style of "acting" to the point where modern TTS is already giving them a run for their money.

I can't wait for AI to remove voice actor cancer.

protection against AI

That sounds good, I will sign your--

SAG-AFTRA

Fuck off.

To be fair, they only cast a shitty actress due to DEI.

kino

I feel as bad for """artists""" getting replaced by Ai as I do for factory workers getting replaced by robots. Adapt or die fags.

I'd rather just take their job for myself

Personally I don't want them to adapt.
I think starving artists should starve more.

On one hand because they're insufferable, on the other because they make their best work under the worst conditions.

All of these VAs when they are at the end of their careers will sell out to ai fucking over the people behind them waiting to take the reigns of the characters they played before. That in mind knowing they will fuck the generation behind them why should I give a shit if a robot takes their jobs now?

Let it be on record that I fully disavow these fellow humans and their hate campaign against AI

Voice filters are being used all the time with vtubers and no one notices or complains about them. You could just get 1 guy to do all the voice acting with the filters. Hell, I dont need a voice actor thanks to AI filters. I can perform the shit myself.

And still in the end, art still paid hard for this now that everything is mass produced slop
People don't even sing on stage anymore, they lip sync with their most "perfected" over-edited take

You don't get it, they're bringing everyone back but now Twilight is a retard that can't use magic and doesn't even have a cutie mark.

My nigger, it went to shit just from the S2 to S3 finales, let alone the next six seasons. Why on the Princess's green Earth would you want a fucking reboot?

People don't sing on stage anymore because it sounds terrible, and the audience doesn't care. You want to hear live music then go to an opera, you were never going to get that shit from a Taylor Swift concert in the first place.

there are still a lot of people who believe that they are special because they do some sort of work, especially if it is physical. It is cope, hell, advanced form of cope. If they realized how the system works and were honest they would not write shit like that, but the real problem here is honesty as I assume that a lot of people do understand on a surface level that the system does not really care if you work in construction 9-5 and break your back or anything.... but also they understand that being honest will be painful so they tell you to "lower your voice" when you speak to them. Ultimately these people never really were smart but they are also quite useful as slaves.

has this guy even done anything outside of halo? (a character that barely speaks)

LOL

Even when he does he's monotone. Not sure where the acting comes in.

I take back everything bad I've ever said about AIslop voiceover.

important audio : SFX, BGM, ambience
irrelevant audio : voice acting

Wasn't May 13th supposed to be their final offer? Shouldn't this be over now?

The skilled ones will adapt, the shitty ones will seethe on xitter to no end.

I'd like to say that Anon Babblefags have no standards, but honestly, that's most groups these days.
AI will take over not because people just hate artists or VAs or whatever, but because most people just don't care and view ALL media the same way I might view some throwaway webnovel adaptation manga.

funny every time

He barely does anything and when he did he just sounded like the Master Chief from Halo. When Microsoft had him actually acting, his flaws showed. AI will do a better job than he ever did and Chief no longer needs to sound like an 80-year-old man about to kill over. Jen's Halsey voice is also terrible and I don't know why she changed it from Reach and Halo 4 intro.

I'm joining the fight on the side of the robots.

You pushed Wuk Lamat on me, my ears were raped by a man pretending to be a fucking woman, AI wouldn't have fucking raped me like that. Hell, that bunny bitch from Liar's Bar is AI voiced which sounds nice and we're basically at the starting line of how good this shit might become in even a couple years.

AI voice acting is based

youtube.com/watch?v=1wS5r9SNFfk

Can use AI to make whatever you want

Make AI-generated versions of shitty clickbait on-the-street interviews of random vapid thots but with awful-looking aliens

If we could repurpose the energy used to generate this garbage into anything, it should be an incinerator, and whoever made this should be tossed in.
What a complete and utter fucking waste of time, good lord.

just a reminder they already have their jobs safe from AI, they're just demanding more money now. lol

completely unasked for sperg crashout

it's pretty good though

youtube.com/watch?v=1Ijs1Z2fWQQ

I'm pretty sure this guy said that most of the voices are his and maybe some friends but I think he uses elevenlabs too. He uses some motion capture thing for the lipsyncing as well.

After 15 years of really bad media from all entertainment mediums... yeah, not on their side. Not against them either. I just don't care, i feel indifference, apathy. If all media was created by AI, okay. Nothing will change. If writers, musicians, artists, programmers, painters, sculptors, and creators all disappeared tomorrow, I don't think I would care. Just the way it is. Should have made better product.

I would care if these guys hadn't mocked and disparaged every blue collar worker that got laid off. Or how they clap and cheer when a farmer gets kicked off their land.

Can't wait to see the price of games that use AI to not drop at all while sounding like someone speaking through a tube.

work a real job

What jobs lol. The job market is a nightmare of data-harvesting, AI, ghost jobs, terrible wages, broken ass portals, the most soulless social media sites possible, and just ignoring your applications.

Mogged

complain about AI stealing your jobs

upload AI images to your xitter account and then quickly delete them when people call you out

God i wish i had that screenshot, these people are all so fucking retarded and unneeded

AI VOICE ACTING is the biggest problem plaguing and ruining video games.

warrent

kys retard

studios refuse to be locked into hiring only union VAs

They have good reason look at the shit they pulled with Snowbreak

You stupid faggot, that only exists because they had the actor's voice to train it on.

Everyone knows this strike has nothing to do with AI, it's just a push to force non-union projects to turn union and subsequently be monopolized by SAG-AFTRA.
I'm all for unionizing, just not the american flavor of it.

For now. Give it two years and this will be very different, in five tops this will be over. The future is now old man.

youtu.be/PTngv5MmtXo

Imagine being so shitty at voice acting that a robot program made by a pajeet in his basement is replacing you because it's cheaper. Maybe you should actually learn how to be a fucking voice actor if you don't want to lose your job. That's how the fucking world works

I guess I'll add this to the list of chasing annoying normies from video games, can't wait.

the last time they went on strike, i guess 2017ish because it fucked up Death Strandings recording schedule, they did it because "screaming in the booth during sessions can damage your vocal cords." They didn't get shit out of that one either - theyre just fucking snakes trying to get more money for their horrible performances

Has even a single major studio actually used AI voices yet?

Got the impression they never would if just because it comes across as cheap and shitty and they can all afford the real thing

It's so weird how only big companies are using AI voice acting instead of indie writers that could use it to finally appeal to a bigger audience since they can't afford an actual VA to voice their dialogue.

There is literally nothing anyone can do to stop people from using AI for voices in their games anymore.

There is no point in trying to rally community support or striking. If you can voice your games with AI voices and they don't sound too bad then people will do that because it's much cheaper and quicker. Obviously.

The thing that should be illegal is stealing training data and sampling other people's voices. But pirating voice data is too difficult to police. So kick rocks really.

unions are either very bad or a pointless tax

then they are bad

Hear this They will change their minds once it's cheaper than real actors, same for Pedowood

They will swap everything that is cheaper for CGI except the parts that are actually money laundering.

CDPR did with the Polish dub of Cyberpunk, and there is that The Finals game.

Meanted for

on strike for 10 months

I didn't even know that was a thing lmao
If you're on strike for 10 months, you're not on strike anymore, you're just fucking jobless.

Brownest thread on Anon Babble at this specific moment award

But I want them to be replaced with AI.

Steve Downes is a troon supporter

Honestly I dont know why big RPGs didnt move to vocaloid style VAs 15 years ago.

dude we have ai
we can fix season 4 at last

I want all voice actors dead, supporting AI might help so I'm just gonna do that. Voice actors are almost as bad as journalists.

Just another reason why Halo Studios replacing him and Jen with AI going forward is based as hell of them.

No.

IS it a 'violation of her legal rights'? Yet?

AI hasn't figured out how to yell or whisper yet so I suppose voice actors still have their place

I will stand up against AI when voice actors stand up against politics in my games

youtube.com/watch?v=TdcyYu53I7M

they know that's not always going to be the case, and they have a union that allows them to organize these protests to negotiate better deals for their future livelihood so why wouldn't they use it.
they either get a deal that protects them from AI taking their jobs in a few years, or they don't have a job in a few years.

This, they must also allow new talent (non-union voice actors) voice act the games and stop asking for so much money. They don't work on a game, they just provide their voices, that's it. If they can't meet these demands, then I'm fine with AI taking over completely.

lol come to think of it MC has suck an easily generated voice since it is always monotone and he barely speak for longer than a sentence at a time. No wonder his VA is literally shaking

Wuk Lamat

AI Voice acting is literally the worst use of AI imaginable. I'd rather have AI art and AI models in games than AI generated voice acting

I like AI voices being used for singing though

I kind of respect voice actors who only do it on the side, don't do conventions often if at all, and have near nonexistent online presence

Why? It's sounding way better now and it's significantly better to add voice instead of a text dump that breaks the flow of your game.

singlehandedly destroys every ounce of goodwill anyone had towards the union

it's significantly better to add voice instead of a text dump that breaks the flow of your game.

It's not. Learn to read, third worlder.

It sucks because I want to support people having jobs, because I do like voice acting and think there have been a ton of great voice actors throughout the years that really brought a character to life, but holy shit most of these people are the most whiny cliquey people ever holy shit. Sneaking in terms about only using union voice actors in petitions about Ai voice acting makes people despise you.

thinks stopping to read every piece of dialogue is actually fun

HL2 was so much better with the dialogue muted so I can stare at the bottom of the screen during every cutscene

Yes it was. No game was ever improved by voice acting

Good to know you're just a ragebaiting retard then

*ahem*
youtube.com/watch?v=LJMLfACod48

ragebaiting retard

Projection. Everyone on Anon Babble knows you don't need voice acting, and certainly not ai voice acting

Videogames not need voice acting. Only the bare minimum of voice (the villagers of Minecraft, if you want a example).

Genshi is now better with mute cutscenes, 99% of the human population not want hear the awful voice of American women and VAs cant pronounce correctly the names of people, nations and terminology of the game

only recent dub vas i'd care to protect are metaphor's.
non american english vas are actually pretty good for whatever reason.

genshin isn't a union gig

sag VAs aren't supposed to work on non union gigs

bunch of sag VAs still took the gig because that rule really hasn't been enforced

they go on strike claiming it's about AI

Genshin is not officially being struck against, sag VAs are just refusing to work

Genshin has been without a lot of english VA work for 8 months

Genshin finally replaces one of the VA refusing to work

bunch of sag VAs attack the new guy that took over on social media

lot more to it like the sag VAs being shifty about what's really going on (took forever for one of them to even admit Genshin isn't even included in the strike) and that the point of the work refusal towards genshin isn't AI but trying to get genshin to become a union gig so they can only hire sag VAs

depends on the game. if youre making a battlefield game, you could just those old voice synthesizers and be totally ok. where the game is about the gameplay, not the story.

Every American voice actor has been shit. Maybe now we'll finally get good voice acting jrpg games

This

it's funny how the genshin impact people have ruined this for everyone

Replacing these annoying faggots makes AI seem more appealing though

The SAG_AFTRA voice actors strike is now in its 10th month

I didn't even notice.

Honestly give me one reason to not side with the AI instead.
I can only think of things that have nothing to do with the idea itself and more with the companies involved, so it's a matter of the technology becoming more available to the public.

You forgot some faggot at sag being a smug fuck while sharing the "interim agreement" with Hoyo.
Some other fun facts:

Chinese companies cannot legally sign any agreements with unions that are NOT Chinese. So they can never sign the interim agreement or they'll be facing the wrath of the Chinese legal system.

China of all places has signed INTO LAW proper AI voice protection

They literally have no excuse

No competent person should be threatened by AI.

It truly is a mystery why anyone would ever want to use AI instead of working with real voice actors.

I'M JOINING THE FIGHT

ON THE SIDE OF THE AI

the single issue of the strike is now the use of AI

you still need to sign an exclusivity contract and only hire people that are members of our relatively small US only union

AI voice acting is much better and infinitely preferable than amateurs breathing into their xbox 360 era headphone mics. Especially for modding. It's not even a competition.

meatbags

capable of feeling love

Does not compute

even lip smacks

LMAO

Oh wow
Total VA death

Remember when all these broke losers were saying trans rights on cameo

I didn't think they could get lower than that and now look at this lmaoooo

I want better voices. Voice actors are typically shit.
They wouldn't be if they used people with good voices, just people they met who had good voices. People on the street etc.

Voice actors are a waste of money. Money better spent on artists. Voice acting is filler. Variety is better too. Need each entity to have a different voice free of accent.

There are exceptions. People that do a great job. They deserve to be paid and should be in much higher demand. Eg Sam Fischer/Michael Ironside, Morrigan/Claudia Black and Balthier, Fran, Vaan.

Pitch should be lowered generally. Should be an option to lower pitch universally on console. Eq settings too.

Lost my train of thought.
Fuck it. Pay good people. Tell the regular animu crowd to fuck off. How the fuck do they find all these arseholes with bad voices. They do for every language option. How the fuck do you fuck up German.

AI is good. Yess I want to here my main Char speak in Rammstein. I want women to sound fuckable. I want every fucking person to be the best that can be found, reproduced or made from scratch. A combination of advancement from good examples.

Ah remembered, retracked. I don't give a fuck about expression. It sounds fake. It's good when it isn't maybe. And good when it's absent. Most of the time should be impassive. Passing on information. Big deals different maybe. Then really go all in, feel something. Otherwise dealing with an expendable. A little hope maybe.

I don't want everyone sounding dumb. No dickheads. No educated. Real people. AI doing delicious deliveries.

Pay for good. If can't provide good, then get AI to do a good job off someone great instead.

Too get a range. Get people speaking to do important dialogue and build a library off them. Make shitloads of dialogue. Some at the end of dev. As meaningfull diatribes get thought of. Not a big deal from done to delivered.

Maybe make an experience for the actor. Get a feeling of what they'd do. What they are at their best. Keep them that.

Shan't purchase anything made with AI
nope!
sorry!
won't do it haha!

Some games like Dawn of War and Red Alert live and die by voice acting, desu. That being said, this kind of stuff is a relic of the past now.

btw i forgot to mention this but im trans

most voice acting is dogshit LMAO

I would kill for Kelly hu

Its quite sad to see, but its a common tactic. Its no different than white collar bullshit with

we won't give you a reasonable work life balance, or more pay, or health benefits that cover illness, but we'll give you a "promotion" with a big title and 2x the work and, when you can't keep the insane pace, we'll blame and fire you the next time we need to do a stock buyback and give huge exec bonuses, because we can't keep the line going up eternally.

They're fighting over being the slave the picks the most cotton on the plantation, against the abolitionists who say maybe they shouldn't be slaves at all.

lmao you're illiterate

You could just say you want good voicelines

a robot program made by a pajeet

lmao nice try
indians can't code

No game was ever improved by voice acting

muh rights

code is law

its not a fight against ai though, if you read what the demands are its insane

kys, eceleb shill

eceleb shill

kelly hu isn't an e-celeb she's been in actual movies dipshit

I'm usually on the side of workers when I read something about how the higher ups treat them, being a wagie myself, but this is inexcusable.
Why is so fucking hard for those idiots to respect deadlines?
The guy made a mistake by assuming they were no longer interested, alright, should've just made them sign a contract or something. But how can you be so far up your ass that thinking you're still entitled to work on on something after not making yourself heard for 3 weeks?

i have zero sympathy for voice actors OR record companies
get fucked

I love how comparasions to Galileo and automobiles are the retard's only way to explain the benefits of modern neural networks in any fucking capacity. Bet you idiots don't even know about all the surveillance applications, and only care generating shitting dick nipples.

No.

ACK-shully

shut the fuck up, tranny
they are all ecelebs, attention whoring faggots and liars, kys

they are all ecelebs, attention whoring faggots and liars, ky

at least learn what an e-celeb is newfag

I'd like to help these actors, but they don't represent my interests nor have they defended us when the LGBT stormed our medias and turned everything into a slop mockery.

"B-but you should follow ideals not politics!"

I despise AI and would certainly like to help because AI is supposed to be automating low-skill Mexican work and not taking over creative and artistic careers; but they started this charade by insulting my fellow niggas as racist and subhuman, and holding ideals over people like me as if I should be bound is their fatal error not mine.

They're not Based. They're not Redpilled
Why should we be on their side, when they're not on ours?
What sane person is going to rally to the very people that always wanted them to disappear?

Fags like this guy have tried to prevent me from cooming by banning everything that I enjoy and declaring it all wrongthink. AI lets me coom all the time. I stand with AI.

The western VA industry is full of mediocre shitters who think their mediocre voices are god’s gift from the heavens. These zero skill lazy niggers are a coalition of entitled mafia mobsters strong arming devs because they want their grift to last forever. Replace them all.

I despise AI

weebtard

Pot calling the kettle black

This is art.

I don't get it.

You should be 18 years old to post here.

I really don't get it.
It may be logically sound in your mind, but you might just be a legitimate schizoid.

Perhaps Discord is more of your speed.

Well then, you're disregarded.
