Google Can Copy a Voice From 30 Seconds of Audio. First, the Owner Has to Say Yes Out Loud
Google’s newest speech models can copy a voice from a 30-second sample, but only after the owner records spoken consent. What voice actors should know.
Salami Studios, the North Hollywood recording house behind voice sessions for Avatar: The Last Airbender, Jackie Chan Adventures, Castlevania: Nocturne and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, is closing after more than 30 years. The studio announced it on Instagram on Monday night. Since then its comments have filled with goodbyes from the actors, directors and engineers who worked there, many of whom say it's where their careers began.
The studio posted the news to its Instagram account on Monday evening, Los Angeles time, with a set of old team photos.
"We are sad to announce that we are closing our doors and bringing this chapter to a close. We are endlessly grateful for all of you. How lucky are we to have worked with so many extraordinary people! Thank you for 30+ years of madness," the post reads.
