Gaming voice actors blindsided by 'garbage' union AI deal


Voice actors say they were not told about the agreement signed by the Sag-Aftra actors' union.

Image caption, Sag-Aftra's Duncan Crabtree-Ireland signed the deal two months after he joined the picket line in 2023 And Veronica Taylor, who provided the voice for Ash in Pokemon, asked how the deal was made without being put to a vote. "We are excited by the new opportunities this opens up for world-leading AAA studios who can now access the benefits of Replica's AI voice technology while knowing that talent is recognized and compensated fairly for the use of their likeness," he said.
