>that work for them
They wouldn't be working for them if the companies are using AI.

This whole arguement the VA's are making makes no sense.
>Pay them what they are worth
It's a wage thing.
Most VA's set their own cost, they are freelance and some have managers that negotiate wages and jobs for them.
>What they are worth
Make no sense to bigger voice actors that do that for a living.

On the subject of AI
>What they are worth
Is irrelevant.

When it comes to VA's and AI, I agree that taking VA's voices without paying them to record the voices specfically to train and AI is scummy practice, but larger studios would never risk that, imagine if EA releases a new game and you hear steve blums voice as most of the NPC or characters and the voice credits says AI.
Steve would have a field day suing their ass. It's just not going to happen on the larger scale.

On the smaller scale, sure indie devs are more likely to use AI and just rip someones voice to train up an AI or use a "royalty free" AI voice for their game, but it still has nothing to do with
>What they are worth
It's like VA's are saying
>If you can't afford to pay a voice actor, your game doesn't get to have voices in it.
Which is just incorrect, dev teams would probably just record their own voices before hiring VA's.
Has nothing to do with
>What they are worth.

That statement makes no sense and is just VA's screeching like they did when they "protested" in 2016

When looking into that protest it is hilarious.
They are STILL going with that and are due to strike again soon.
VA union is trying to negotiate higher wages and prohibition of use of AI with large video game companies like EA
EA are basically saying no.
Why would they ever agree? the VA's aren't on their payroll, they get paid by the job when needed.
They are basically trying to strong arm the industry into agreeing not to use AI

Watching leftists seethe in favour of unions forcing themselves on people like rapists, not giving any freedom of choice, imposing financial burdens on people just to be members and then denying them fucking jobs in the process while laughing their assess off, and then being documented starting arsons and criminal activities against people who refuse to join them which is how right to work laws came into being, is telling of many things.

Are they really trying to demand developers spend more from their budget on voice acting? That's not the voice actors choice to make.
If the VA's see a job offer that's not good enough then say it's not good enough and let some "lower quality" VA take the job instead.

They are just crying about wanting to work less for more money, when they literally have no say in the matter. If they aren't happy with how much a job pays then don't take it, go get a mcjob and then protest the minimum wage fags.

Only because they've been documented pulling such criminal activities so many times that the law and states had to intervene and create special laws to regulate unions.

Union supporters are always trust fund kiddies who don't have to care about membership fees because mommy and daddy and privileged class can cover it for them; who don't have to care about a business being closed because mommy and daddy and rich socialist connections can provide a replacement through nepotism (Marx); and who therefore see people who can't afford any aforementioned as useful idiots (aka the actual poor people and ordinary working class people you see beneath yourself as serfs and slaves).

I know what unions are anon.
They use leverage to negotiate.
VA's DON'T HAVE LEVERAGE
Unions organise mass walkouts of the workforce in a workplace which directly effects the business because nothing gets done, no orders fulfilled, no phone lines open, no things get made.
VA's are not part of a workforce, nor do they work for any company directly.

There's nothing for them to protest.
They are just crying that they want to be paid more and as I said; that's not a decision they have any sway over. Companies can continue to advertise voice roles they have when a game is made and continue to offer a set amount as their budget allows. voice actors, this """"union"""" have no right to demand they spend more from their budget on voice work. If a company wants better voice actors they will hire VA's directly that they like and negotiate with their managers an agreeable wage. That's then down to the manager, not this """"union"""" to determine.

The only thing this achieves is VA's that are part of this gathering not doing work available during the time of the protest and that work going to some other VA that likely wouldn't have got the job otherwise, giving them an opportunity to grow or as the """"union"""" would hope; VA's that take jobs during the """"protest"""" fuck up the jobs because they are inexperienced.

AI is the perfect example of leftists creating their own problems they can't get out of.
For 20 fucking years we've heard Leftist faggots talk about how AI is gonna make race and gender equity and bring fairness to society.
The same people who masturbate to science like it's a church and not a neutral tool of development that can be used and abused alike.

Now the same retards whine about AI replacing Voice Analists.

The sooner the public has access to Voice Generative AI without fucking retarded prices or mileage or any bullshit, the better. Voice Acting was always going to be a thing of the past this century.

I think this is a pretty dumb thing to say because people who can code are probably pretty smart and will be AI directors in the future. Like even if I had an AI that could code properly, I don't even know what to tell it to do in order to make me a useful program or a good game you know? I guess AI will eventually get so good that it will understand even the more retarded requests from laymen but until that day, people who are intelligent enough to code will have the upper hand using such a tool.

There's a real argument to be made about how far we should let technology take us away from personal pursuits. Sure, drawing art may no longer be the marvel it once was, and sure, many other forms of media have cheapened as a result, but the enjoyment people derive from their hobbies shouldn't be de-valued by its ease of production.

Certain aspects can be perfected while maintaining the core element that makes something unique and interesting.

For example, I wouldn't want to read a book completely written by AI today. What I would like, is to listen to one made by a human in all its imperfection and narrated by a synthesized voice of famous people I enjoy listening to as a form of theatre level production.

Such a thing is possible today, but it puzzles me why so few try. I guess there's not enough of an interest in that yet, and people are just waiting to see how far AI will go in replacing everything.

It shouldn't replace everything. What it should do, is be used as a tool to improve things. Otherwise, what's the point? Although I guess the average person is a complete fucking idiot now, so there's that. Maybe they wouldn't know the difference if it hit them across the face.

People have such a weird view of coding, because I guess you think an AI programming snake is the extent of software engineering. You don't just shit out some code, release it, and rake in the millions. You have to maintain the code, you have to fix bugs, you have to integrate new features with existing ones

Not quite. But in the context of code it's a lot more finnicky than say text. Any retard can prompt a 10/10 sexy girl with AI because there's a small window of possibilities for that, you know? With few variables(masterpiece, best quality, big boob and ass, nice teeth, very sex).

But there are many ways to code programs and if you don't know anything about coding you don't even know what to ask for or how to specify what to change or what you even want in the first place. But a coder does know those kinds of things so he can communicate effectively in prompts to the AI. And if it fucks up he can explain where it fucked up and how to fix it, or do it himself. It's like how people use AI for coding today, while there are retards saying it's useless for code. In reality they just have skill issues.

Voice acting is one of the biggest barriers indie devs face when it comes to allocating resources, the possibility of completely getting rid of this huge drain on budget and focus more on gameplay/presentation will be a massive boon for indie games and the AA industry.

Make them redundant already.
Who the fuck even uses Englisch voice, if there is any other language, say, Japanese available?
Japanese VAs are extremely talented, capable people. English VAs are completely superfluous to begin with.
With GAI you are also able to generate voice on the fly, which makes the dev's storytelling more flexible.
You also avoid scandals arising from the VA's private life. Human English VAs are nothing but a downside.
At least on the /v/idya side of things there is no saving for them. It's over. And that's a good thing.

They can all suck my cock. The people who keep America running should have their wages doubled, and actors, VA, comedians and all these other people should be treated like clowns and circus freaks. Entertainment is not that important. All these people are faggots and liberals. They don't need money to be happy.

I don't care about the VAs either way. If they want to squeeze the companies dry a little harder than they already are, go ahead. Until their strike causes me inconvenience.

You can do it with 11labs and probably other online services. It's been open source software for a bit longer than that too but you need to be a wizard to train those kinds of models.

With AI, a voice will be like a ‘costume’ that people can use.
If AI continues to suck at emoting, you can just hire a cheap VA say some lines while doing an impression. Use the AI to get the voice to sound more like the character, and use the human actor’s emoting so the end product doesn’t sound like a stiff robot.

It's not just about English too, you'll be able to get anime in your third world language and stuff.

Don't care. AAA games suck these days.
Indie game developers can use voice changers and do their own voice acting.
Also, dignity is subjective. At the end of the day, many voice actors are involved in projects they themselves would not purchase and have to act goofy for money. Regular acting is simply playing pretend on camera and sometimes working as a high priced stripper.

That's what the last strike ended up settling. They made some deal with a literal who AI company to train models on their voices.

The problem with this is that it's not a solution at all. You wouldn't be able to live off that especially if no one cared about your voice (99% of VAs).

>>683796461
offering your talent to game companies alone isn't being a parasite. its only when you start to make unreasonable demands to whoever hires you/fans when it becomes a parasitic relationship.
For example you can see this when VA's complain about being "underpaid" despite being paid 100x minimum wage with 100x less working hours. You can also see this when VA's demand residuals, or even when they demand that fans should pay them to voice memes.
VA's think they're more important than they are, that's what's so parasitic

this
>>
>>683797104
>i doubt most VAs are paid much
According to research they get paid well over $100 per hour even for minor roles. that is quite literally 10x minimum wage.
the problem with VA work is that there are no guaranteed jobs, which is the actor's responsibility to handle and not an issue with companies themselves. On paper, any actor worth their salt should be able to find consistent roles, but that's made harder with how cliquey their culture is (Caused by top VA's themselves btw).

>residuals are reasonable
nope. You're telling me that someone who sits in a booth for around 20 ish hours should get residuals on a game that's developed for years by other people? Actual entitlement right there. VA's are hired to do their work and leave, they are not a part of the game dev process and are completely optional.
You could make an argument that in games like GTA V, Micheal Trevor and Franklin's VA's are integral but those are few and far between outlier cases and do not apply to 99% of VA work.

>again, they're negotiating the conditions for which they are willing to sell their services. how is the libertarian dream parasitic?
Negotiation is fine but you're conveniently forgetting that the "negotiating" involves massive smear campaigns, public ostracising of anyone that dares to go against them and unreasonable demands. That by definition is parasitic and toxic. If they merely want to sell their services, why do they complain that nobody wants to hire them because their terms are so unreasonable? why create public outrage if someone says no to them?

As someone who works professionally in the industry I can tell you AI is already taking over a lot of stuff to do with writing and especially localization.

I doubt there'll be any human localizers left in 5 years, anyone still around will be more of a propaganda commissar like Sweet Baby that alters the games to push the desired message to increase ESG scores rather than a localizer. You can easily translate a text-heavy game for $10 with AI and the translation will be on par if not better than a lot of "professional" localizers.

Obviously respectable professionals will still get work translating actually important stuff, but nobody is going to pay some weirdos 100k to make a shitty localization of a A-AA Japanese game over the course of 6 months when they could just automate it for 10bux and about a day of waiting.

2 points for you:

1. This 5 year benchmark is accurate but only with current tech. GPT4 is going to be eclipsed most likely within the next year, which will decimate that projection of 5 years. Said model will be translating the actually important stuff too

2. Companies looking to localize or whatever will be using AI for that. Companies like Sweet Baby will be extinct.

Depends on a case by case basis but in most engines this can just be done with a simple switch or setting.
>what about making sure text fits into text boxes?
This is something for the UI artists, not localizers, but you can always ask the AI to keep that in mind if you want.
>what about making sure script for voice actors syncs with the lips?
Different localizations can have different lip movements, it's not 2012 anymore. I'm pretty sure a lot of major games even do it at runtime though I haven't checked.
>what about making sure script for voice actors reads naturally?
This would be a genuine concern but the truth is it's still 100x faster and cheaper to work with the AI on this and iterate on the localization than hiring a team of people. It's not just a translator program that spits out a full translation, you can iterate and adjust with it. Even if not, it's much cheaper to AI localize it, then hire a few native speakers to go over it with the VAs, or have the VAs go over it themselves.

Yeah but that localization will be done by a programmer using OpenAI's API now, not a localizer. Even if there is a localizer involved, only one localizer will be required to look through it, not a team of a dozen.
>so 100k to localize a game in 1 week then vs 100k to localize a game in 6 months now
You're not getting paid the same to babysit an AI compared to localizing from the ground up, because if you do ask for the same price someone else will undercut you by 90% to do what you do.

The funny thing is that voice actors would not be such massive useless fucking assholes (mostly) if actual actors actually gatekept the medium good enough, ensuring only people who have acting experience can VA.

Of course you didn't, you probably don't even have a job, because otherwise you would be aware of at least one thing in your industry that AI is getting implemented for that isn't just some outrage meme you are regurgitating from social media, because you are too retarded to form your own opinions or do your own research.

That part of the world still actively believes in reincarnation and provides the best evidence for the existence of souls with modern research on cases of traumatic past life memories.

"Professional" voice acting always bring the game quality down, look at any AAA gaming, its the same circlejerk of semi-hollywood voice actors trying new voices and failing, the true gems are in the Xenoblades and Silent Hills of the world where they hire unknown guys to make the character unique, look how Solid Snake went from gold to shit with the chance of VA.

My concern is how will you legally procure the voice model without knowing the person and getting consent from them? Because if you have to, that's what hiring for a job is.
I have ideas to hire voice actors for the purpose of training a model and giving me rights to their voice likeness. I think that's a fair middleground for people who want to be paid for their value while also still letting me do what I want with the project.

They have Unions too.

Reminder that they tried to do this whole voice acting strike in like 2016-2017 with self absorbed faggot Troy Baker at the head of the pack, and they accomplished NOTHING in their strike, went back to work with almost no changes to any contracts, and quietly acted like it never happened.
Now they're trying it again, but this time there is already a suitable, cost effective replacement waiting to take their easy ass jobs, and its only getting better by the day. They tried to convince people that "their voices sometimes got hurt from screaming!" while sipping coffee and cursing at the stupid interns who brought it to them.

I'm a one-man band who probably could only offer meager salaries to do regular vociework anyway. I was highly considering a flat royalty check for the likeness because this would be used for players communicating with each other.
The main single player gsme will have fully traditionally voiced lines. I then want the same actors to come back and do models so when playing online players can chat messages back and forth and the AI will make voice lines from the characters of those. It sounds fun, immersive for roleplaying, and even if itd janky that sounds fun too like GMOD clipping and spazzing out is but less detrimental

Entertainment comes last as a luxury or privilege, and can be summoned from myriads of ways from socializing to sex to throwing fucking rocks, singing, and instruments.

Was being the emphasis because escapism from reality won't save you from a famine and downfall into lazy stupidity. The material world and its consequences don't stop moving and existing, because a bunch of faggots want to escape it and act like it doesn't exist.
So that monopoly came to an end when it couldn't be maintained anymore. Which is the crux, entertainment only exists when there's something to prop it up. It's a parasitic phenomena dependent on safety and provision. If any of the two go missing, as they do in the real world, because nobody is there to provide them, so do the sources of entertainment and its fucking consumers. Which is why, it's non-essential.
