SAG-AFTRA, the union representing performers, has reached a deal with Replica Studios, an AI voice acting platform, enabling its members to license their voices to game studios, thus paving the way for professional voiceover artists to explore new digital employment opportunities. The agreement includes provisions for minimum rates, safe storage, transparency requirements, and limitations on the use of voice replicas without further payment and consent. However, it does not cover the use of actors’ replicas to train large language models. Despite this deal, SAG-AFTRA is still negotiating with major game studios after authorizing a strike last fall.
