Is This a Glimpse at the Future of Voice Over with Erin Culpepper
Can A.I. and Human voice actors work together? Is there a path forward where they coexist in the space? I guess only time will truly answer that question, but for now, we can look at what's happening in the real world.
The vast majority of VO is still human. Yay!
Some VO is being taken over by A.I. Boo!
But what if there's a new form of VO being created that's a collaborative effort between humans and A.I.? Well that's interesting!
In this episode, Erin Culpepper shares her story of working on a groundbreaking toy project. A toy that could become one of the hottest toys of the holiday season (in my opinion). And it's, perhaps, a case study in how human voice actors and A.I. might work together.
Listen with an open mind. I think there's lessons for us all to learn.
