AI voice-overs... what’s the catch?
AI voice-overs, while powerful, are not without problems, particularly when it comes to creating multilingual voice-overs.
Understanding the potential problems that using an AI voice-over can cause is important. You can then make an informed decision about using AI rather than a professional voice actor working with an experienced audio editor.
A human voice-over actor is skilled in adding the essential emotional inflection to text your words to create impact and boost relatability for your audience. This is true in any language, and particularly important when you’re producing multilingual AI voice-overs as every language has its own rules and requirements for structure, emotional inflection and emphasis.
It’s also important to remember that good translation requires a knowledge of the nuances of language and isn’t as simple as just translating word for word between two languages. Translated voice-overs can be problematic if you don’t have a ‘real human’ check them for accuracy.
