Actors Hit AI Startup With Class Action Lawsuit Over Voice Theft

[Think. Again.]

1. An actors voice is a valuable asset...

...even if you don't realize the famous actor who owns it.

You might notice from time to time that an advertisment with a voice-over sounds familiar to you although no actor is mentioned as endorsing the product.

An actor with a strong following will contract vocalizations without a credit, at a higher rate, because the unrecognized familarity of the voice alone will incur a positive response from the advertiser's audience without distracting from the product. Any good vibes a viewer might get as a fan of the actor cleanly attaches to the product.
