Award-winning voice actors Cissy Jones and Larissa Gallagher have seen their voices stolen by AI. Literally. In this hard-hitting episode of The Pro Audio Suite, they join us to share the shocking reality of finding their voices on AI platforms — being sold, shared, and synthesized without consent or compensation.
But they're not just here to sound the alarm — they're here with solutions.
We dive into:
How they discovered their voices were being used
The legal and ethical grey areas of AI voice cloning
Their fight for control through advocacy with NAVA (National Association of Voice Actors)
The groundbreaking tech tools being developed to protect voice actors
What YOU can do to secure your voice and future
Whether you're a voice actor, producer, or just someone who cares about consent in the age of AI, this is a must-listen.
