AI voice cloning. Game production use cases

What the talk is about

Ihor Klimovskyi explains how Respeecher's AI voice cloning is used in games. He describes the difference between text-to-speech and speech-to-speech: in the latter an actor performs the role and the system carries every emotion over into another voice, working in any language since the model operates on acoustics. Examples include de-ageing a hero's voice in a major console game and recreating an actor's voice for the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion. Practical scenarios: one actor voicing a prototype through a hundred licensed voices, fixing a star's lines without bringing them back, localisation that keeps the original timbre or changes the accent, child voices for actors who have grown up, and real-time voice conversion for streams and personalised marketing. He also stresses ethics: a voice is cloned only with the person's consent. Useful for producers, audio teams and marketers.
