Voice actor John Q. Kubin dreams of a future where he doesn’t have to record for clients himself yet continues to earn income because a synthetic, neural-network trained clone of his voice keeps working. 

“That’d be the most majestic exit from voiceover,” he says.  

It’s why the 14-year voiceover veteran—with his gritty, deep voice that commands your attention for truck and whiskey commercials—jumped on Voices.com’s new AI Studio initiative as soon as he could. Even though it was a pilot and many voice talents are wary of artificial intelligence, Kubin recognized the use of AI-cloned voices could be appealing for some clients.
