Some Anime Studios are considering to replace English dub with Ai.

Postby Netherrealmer » 14 Oct 2024, 15:27

Their plan is use the Japanese voice actors and use A.I to make them talk in English so they wont have to Pay American and Canadian voice actors and the Japanese voice actors will have extra paycheck. They also want to do this so the Japanese voice and English voice sounds the same. With Ai you can use any actors who speaks no English, Speak English in Any accent and personality.

I hope not... Son Goku is voiced by a 90 year old Grandma in Japan, I do not want to see a Muscular 40 year old guy sounding like a grandma.I prefer the Himbo voice he have in English dub.

Many male anime characters are voiced by women in Japanese dub and voiced by men in English dub. Naruto is voiced by Women in Both English and Japanese.

Well that's bound to lead to some crappy dubs. My university used AI to put captions on videos and they're wrong so often it's crazy. It's a pity for captioners too. I've done captioning work, and it's decent money. Captions done by humans are usually a lot more accurate because we can pick up on nuances and check things.

That doesn't always sound bad. Bart Simpson was voiced by a woman.

I think the idea of ​​using AI to translate Japanese actors' voices into English is a bit shocking. Voice is a big part of the character's soul and if you change it without considering the emotion it can lose its flavor. Goku having an old lady voice in English would be very hard to believe in his power he he.

It's true that Japanese actors are often women even for male characters. But English translation brings a unique difference. AI can help but not replace human creativity. We need soulful voices not just similar voices.

Basically, the only phone jobs I know that still exist right now is customer service, which is basically you are going to talk with complaining Karens or telemarketing where you will call people living their life peacefully when suddenly you decided to spam their phone and invite them to buy your product. The rejection rate is usually 99%. And you will have managers breathing behind your neck, pressuring you to make a sale. And the third one is phone sex.

For a phone sex operator, all you need to do is feed the fantasy of the caller and make the call longer because you are paid per minute. Let's say you are paid $20 per minute. If you can make the call for hours and drain the wallet of that poor person, you will be loaded with cash. Whether you are attracted to the fantasy of the caller or not, you're just going to fake it and feed their fantasy.

Those phone calls are so hard. People get angry, you pay. Others yell at you for no reason. When you're a phone buyer, people run away from you. You would run away too. And your manager never stops pressuring you. You have to get amazing sales.
That last opportunity you mentioned is scary. But these days there are so many online opportunities. Find a job or learn a new skill. Difficult situations make smart people smarter. Don't give up.

That is quite interesting. Also in the last one year since you posted this, AI has made more strides.
So may be, this is already been done.

Really, why dont you look at, look how far advance A.I as become if they do achieve this but I am thinking it wont be for another 1 to 10 years of development depending how much funding is put in to and what developers they have on it.
