request the producers submit the actor's original recording so we could compare

a fan or some computer geek using an actor or celeb's work/words to incriminate. Make it appear that they have said things to destroy reputations.
It's frightening how AI can be put to use for th ... |

I work closely with two private developers that know the right voice direction to give, that I mimic, that they can then put anywhere and you can barely tell the difference between my reading a full s ... |

One thing computers can't do: be directed by a client. Clients who really enjoy directing a v-o session and having the talent "this time maybe try it this way" and making it a collaborative ... |

Let me clarify --- when I said:
"P&H" is something most of us never even think about

Bob, a lot of us have heard your story and it's a great one! However, "P&H" is something ... |

(porky) Piggy backing on Bob's point: the volume of people who will say yes has grown exponentially year over year the last few years. This doesn't help anything.

There have been so many times actors have said yes to lousy deals, which eventually become standard practice. I remember a few decades ago when I started hearing about non-union agents not just charg ... |

Hey Anne! It's OK. But to my ears it's a tad one note. It kinda sounds home made. It might not be, but that's what I hear. Even the production sounds a bit one note and from the same library.

Acting is playing what you are not, not what you are closest to. I so disagree with this solution as it feeds into this PC debacle.
