AI dubbing is changing the fate of localized film
One film, dubbed into ten languages in hours — what does that mean for voice actors?
It used to take local voice actors recording line by line for a foreign film to reach a new market. Now AI can generate dubs in a dozen languages within hours, lip-sync included.
For audiences that means more content, faster. For voice actors it is a hard problem.
Some actors are beginning to "license" their voices to AI in exchange for royalties — an entirely new kind of labour relationship.
