The Finals, an upcoming shooter from some former Battlefield developers, is using AI-produced voice acting.
Voice actor Gianni Matragrano shared a series of clips yesterday of various lines from announcers in The Finals, questioning whether the game is using AI voice acting or not. Listening to the clip, the performances certainly sound awkward, with the pacing of numerous sentences sounding quite unnatural. Matragrano wasn't sure as to whether the voices were AI or not, but later shared a clip from a podcast from developer Embark Studios that did confirm that it is using AI voice acting.
As part of a podcast series about The Finals that came out in July called Meet the Makers, there was an episode that featured audio designers Andreas and Carl talking about the various sounds you hear in the game. At one point, the pair are asked about the voices in the game, with Andreas explaining, "So here's the kicker: what did the voice over? The thing is, we use AI with a few exceptions. All the contestant voices like the barks and both our commentators are AI text to speech.
