Episode notes
Some look at AI as an opportunity to clone their favorite voice actor's voice, some Japanese voice actors worry about those possibilities and how dangerous it is for the voice acting industry.
At the same time, some game studios have started using AI voices for NPCs instead of hiring professional voice actors.
While all of this is happening, in 2024, superstar seiyuu and entrepreneur Yuki Kaji has created and launched his own synth voice (AI) to, potentially, safeguard his career as a voice actor.
This is the 1st of 2 features on AI and its influence in the voice acting industry in Japan - specifically. Did you enjoy this episode? Consider ranking this podcast or leaving a review on your preferred podcast streaming platform!
