VO+AI is a cooperation project of professional voice actors and Poland’s first online VO voice bank, Mikrofonika. It’s the first tool that combines the capabilities and experience of popular and beloved voices with the advantages of artificial intelligence. Based on legal sources, fully secure for both parties, it’s a unique system that allows the use of voices well-known to radio, television, and internet audiences. Each model is fully autonomous, created from scratch, while preserving the individual characteristics of each speaker. Voice tone, intonation, interpretation, and even breaths – it’s a faithful reproduction of the best voice actors.
The VO+AI project demonstrates that it’s possible to reconcile the interests of all parties and present a product that is 100% compliant with the law and basic principles. Every voice actor whose voice was used in this project is assured that they will have full control over its use, and any profits from the use of the resulting voice model will be fairly distributed.
The website will be launched during the 8th OSL (8th National Meeting of Voice Actors), during the presentation “AI vs VO – Round #2”.
In creating the website, a friendly team from the Rhema Group agency played a key role.
