    Impersonating my voice? Not really something I have an issue with as such. From the article they are using the voice of the actor to impersonate a fictional character. If someone used my voice to create a fictional character like done here, I probably wouldn’t have an issue with that.

      Are you a voice actor whose income relies on selling their voice performances? You might care then when companies just use a bot to make your voice while you go broke on the street.

        Whether it’s a voice actor relying on voice acting to not go broke, or a factory worker relying on menial tasks on a production line to not go broke doesn’t really matter IMO. But pretty much no one bats an eye at the latter.

          No one is pitching a fit because the percieved lose of skill isn’t there. How many people can perform menial labor compared to the number of people that can perform voice acting labor in a specific language or languages? People are more outraged because they percieve a skilled laborer being attacked. The truth is, both forms of labor equate in more than one way.
