“We were very disappointed to receive the production company’s response, particularly as it’s a BBC project,” Poyzer’s voiceover company, Voice Squad, stated in an announcement to Deadline.
“The BBC have always stood for quality in their factual and drama broadcasting. As a voiceover agency we feel that AI is a danger to the whole industry — removing work from artists who have trained for three years at drama-school and spent many years honing their craft. Voice artists are particularly skilled actors who deserve not to have their work devalued.”
