Why the hell does she pick Smash Mouth?

This is news to me. I had no idea that she is VA royalty!

You'd think a person who does voiceover work would know proper microphone technique

vagabondvivant.com•51 days ago

You'd think that someone with only 16 followers would know better than to mansplain someone with thousands of times more.

Yeah... I suppose I'm not a broadcast engineer that has traveled the world and done sound in 15 countries on 4 continents for over 3,000 live concerts. I guess I didn't teach audio engineering at a college level for 10 years. I guess I don't have a mixing and mastering studio in my house.

Does she also do commercials for a phone service?

Ah, so this is the last person who speaks to me every night as my Bluetooth headphones connect. Glad to match the voice with a face.

ok thats great for the 3 people who are in a position to be courted as a luxury employee but...

I’ve seen the same trend in music creation. After Suno (and other AI music generators) no human can expect to get paid to create music for low-end commercials or corporate videos again. Irony is these AI models were all trained on music shared online by the same human artisans they are replacing.

Turn off Bluetooth if you put phone or computer in trunk of car. Others can detect it’s there.

Handmade or Walmart? Come again?
Ain't nobody thrifting their dishes anymore?
And AI can take a long walk off a short pier.

Wired is crap

I love how people started requesting her to say things like “Low Battery” as though it was a request for a song 😂

I will do my very best never to watch a single piece of AI-voiced media

burnsabeast.bsky.social•51 days ago

Fuck off with this pro-AI shit.

Listen to the end next time.

vagabondvivant.com•51 days ago

I listened to the whole thing. What did you catch that I didn't, because from over hear it just sounds grim.

vagabondvivant.com•51 days ago

That's ... not comforting. It means that jobs previously performed by thousands of VAs will now go to AI while only a few dozen "bespoke" performers continue to find employment.

pyv.bsky.social•51 days ago

Poor people will get cheap AI, while rich folks will be able to have a human experience. This is dystopia.

Didn’t appreciate telling my speaker to start playing music!!! I HATE Alexa requests in clips that then trigger our devices.. really quite intrusive!!
