The Actors Guild approved the use of AI dubbing in games, triggering collective protests by voice actors

According to InsiderGaming, the actors' union SAG-AFTRA has approved the use of artificial intelligence voice acting in games and is working with Replica Studios to achieve "AI done right."

Replica Studios’ mission is to make creativity and narrative storytelling more immersive and engaging, benefiting voice talent, game studios and consumers.

In response, many voice actors expressed their concerns about this news.

Elias Toufexis (Deus Ex, Starfield): “I humbly consider myself one of the top voice actors in the gaming industry. However, few people have asked my opinion, and no one has asked me for my opinion. Colleagues have been consulted."

Steve Blum (The Last of Us, Diablo): "Excuse me? With all due respect, you stated in your article that it was 'approved by affected members of the union voice performers community.' As far as I know , no one in our community recognizes this. Gaming has been my main livelihood for years. Who are you referring to as the approver?"

Kellen Goff ("Yakuza", "Street Fighter") expresses dissatisfaction with SAG-AFTRA's actions: "SAG-AFTRA has once again made us feel betrayed. I am tired of their actions to destroy the voice actor community time and time again. I Angry at their control of our industry and their abuses. This behavior is not a reflection of democracy, it is a dictatorship."

Currently, dissatisfaction has begun to ferment among the voice actors, and some people have begun to plan a new round of actor strikes.
