Voice acting has always been a dying art, but AI for sure is killing it

Unless the work is higher end theres just so much hassle working with humans. You got to do a casting call, wait weeks to get 100 applicants, listen to all of them, and pray that the VA still actually does a good job. Ive hired VAs in the past and unless the work is very high end, we choose AI and this trend doesnt seem to be stopping.

For consumers, they dont seem to notice or care. For instance, all those movie recap videos you see on youtube? All AI narration. Those still get 100k+ views

Btw I know what I said is inflammatory, but this is what Im seeing in industry. Only exception would be in high end work like key VAs in shows and movies

I'm curious to know what constitutes "higher end". Obviously a theater release isn't going AI yet, but where down the scale do they start using it?

		I would say anything where the budget is more than 5-10k and has a production timeline of more than 3 months Then your time cost of finding VA(1+ month) and paying them is a smaller fraction overall
