Real dubbing? Real voices!
Real dubbing? Real voices!
Why this petition matters
We are a large group of passionate voice talents who have always dedicated their professional time and efforts to bringing life to characters in movies, series, videogames, and to advertising products for audiences worldwide. Our profession is under threat due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). AI technology, with its ability to mimic human voices, threatens not only our livelihoods but also the authenticity of character portrayal in dubbed content.
According to a study by Oxford University, up to 47% of jobs could be automated by 2033, and voice acting is one such profession at risk (Oxford University, Future of Employment Report). This isn't just about us losing our jobs; it's about preserving the art and craft that goes into dubbing. Each actor brings a unique interpretation and emotional depth that an AI simply cannot replicate.
Moreover, we believe that this change would negatively affect your viewing experience. The nuances in human voiceovers create connections between viewers and characters which are irreplaceable.
We urge you all - viewers, fellow actors, directors - anyone who values the authenticity and emotional connection brought by human voice actors over AI-generated voices - sign this petition. Stand with us against job loss due to artificial intelligence in the dubbing industry!
