In this episode of the Pro Audio Suite, the team dives into the ever-evolving landscape of AI and voice licensing, exploring the groundbreaking decision by James Earl Jones to license his voice to Disney. What does this mean for voice actors? And where do we draw the line between legal licensing and exploitation? We also discuss recent lawsuits surrounding AI voice replication, the ethical boundaries of using voices without permission, and what these changes could mean for the future of the industry.
The conversation gets heated as Robbo, AP, George "The Tech" Whittam, and Robert Marshall debate whether AI voice replication is an opportunity or a looming threat. With insights from the legal world, current case studies, and expert opinions, this episode is a must-listen for anyone in the audio or voiceover industries.

The legacy and implications of James Earl Jones licensing his voice to Disney Recent lawsuits against AI companies for unauthorized voice replication How AI is reshaping the voiceover and audio production industries Ethical and legal questions around using synthesized voices Future trends in AI and voice technology and their impact on artistsKey Quotes:
âFor generations to come, your voice will still be heard. Thatâs amazing, isnât it? But itâs kind of weird, actually.â â Robbo âI think that if you should absolutely own the rights to whatever you upload into some AI engine...the fact that these companies are enabling theft, itâs bullshit.â â Robert Marshall âItâs straight simple, itâs plagiarism. If you quote somebody, you have to give them credit. Sucking in a bunch of information thatâs not yours and turning it into code is theft.â â George "The Tech" WhittamEpisode Highlights:
James Earl Jonesâ legacy: How licensing his voice ensures he and his family continue to benefit from its use long after heâs gone. Case studies on AI misuse: Real-world examples of AI companies exploiting artistsâ voices.

In response to a listener question from Barry Burns (aka Big Bazza!), the Pro Audio Suite team breaks down their thoughts on the Rode NT2000 and its use for voiceover work. Whether youâre a voice actor curious about this mic or just a fan of Rode gear, this episode offers some valuable insights and a healthy dose of gear talk.
Topics Covered:
Initial Impressions of the Rode NT2000: The crew discusses their experience with the Rode NT2000, diving into the build quality, sound characteristics, and versatility of this multi-pattern mic.
Comparisons to Other Mics: How does the NT2000 stack up against mics like the U87 and the Austrian Audio OC818? George and Andrew give their take on whether the NT2000 is a real contender in the voiceover world.
Strengths of the NT2000: The team highlights the micâs variable polar patterns, high-pass filter, and low noise floor, making it a solid choice for versatile studio setups.
Durability Over Time: With over a decade of use in one Melbourne studio, the team talks about the mic's longevity and how well it holds up compared to other long-term staples in the voiceover industry.
The NT2000âs Unique Design Features: The discussion covers the adjustable pots on the NT2000 and why, despite their flexibility, they might not be for everyone.
Should You Buy the Rode NT2000 for Voiceover? Andrew sums up his experience with the NT2000 and answers whether itâs worth the investment or if you should look into alternatives like the Austrian Audio OC818.
Listener Question:
Barry Burns asked: âI have the Rode NT2000 but canât find much in the way of evaluations for it.

U87 vs. 416: Regional Differences and Industry Standards: The crew explores the regional preferences for U87 and 416 microphones, comparing the U87's popularity in New York to the 416's dominance in LA. Is the U87 truly the industry standard in Australia, or has the 416 taken over?
