Is the doc ai voiced?

[kaza12345678]

I'm watching 8bitryan let's play and i kept noticing doc voice feels familiar before i noticed this is same voice that chugayt uses for his fat controller character in thomas & the secret
So either you used a voice actor who sounds like John goodman or you used the same ai model especially when i notice his lips movements feel...off like they won't properly animated unlike the rest of him

That was my first though upon hearing the voice. There is a real strong chance it is AI, because it sure sounds like John Goodman.

Pretty sure all of the characters are ai voiced.

I wonder how long the Video Game Voice Actor strike is going to last.

After looking at a bunch of streams, the entire script itself feels ai generated, the way the dialog is written feels really weird and the voice acting really doesn’t help it either.
It could also be because devs aren’t English, so things got lost in translation but I really doubt that it is the case, it’s a shame because the basic idea of the game is good but it feels rushed and does nothing interesting with the premise.

No, Doc isn't AI (though he does sound like John Goodman). Tim Stephennson does a lot of commercial voice-overs though so that's probably why he sounds familiar (and the generic name doesn't help when trying to find him, but "tim stephenson voice actor" pulls up his website. Though I'll admit Zoochosis isn't in his recemt credits--maybe because new game?).

I think some of the voice acting weirdness can be contributed to some bugs that rush/clip some voice lines. The dialogue seems pretty natural to me but I have only seen MBH play it (though I've watched the same video multiple times as background noise--bad attention span). Maybe after some fixes it'll work properly? I don't want to discredit such a neat concept so fast, especially due to the death mid-development.

Hello everyone! Nothing in the game was created using AI, everything was made by real people, including the voice acting.

For the record, Valve requires games to disclose if AI is used for assets like that on the store page, so if it doesn't say so, it's not likely to use AI.

[Ranch]

They need to hire new dialogue writers and voice actors

To me, the voice acting didn't sound like AI for a single second. I don't know how advanced AI's are at this point, but there are clearly human emotions coming across, which sounds like it would be really hard to realize with AI, probably even harder than just getting real voice actors. I'm not trying to accuse anyone of anything, buuuuut it feels like people are starting to reach just to have something new to complain about regarding this game.

[Hool]

The game's VO sounds 100% like it was AI generated. I had a couple friends listen to the game because I thought I may be crazy but we were all in agreement. Awkward intonation, inhuman pacing (literally no gaps between each line??); none of it even sounded like amateur voice-over work, it just didn't sound human. I can forgive the clunky translation to English for the dialogue, but the VO really turned me off from considering this game.

[rofflesvanwagon]

Yeah I thought it was john Goodman style voice for sure. God this game is so pathetic.

[Αη Ιnτellecτual Tsiραr]

I think it's important to understand that not everyone speaks English the same. The devs are from a foreign nation to the USA, at least, and the voice actors there will have accents and sound different.

[OllyVoxx]

Doc's performance is partially AI generated. I would bet at least 20 dollarbucks on it.

The performance at times is great, natural, emotive, menacing even! But then, immediately after, flat as the plains. Nothing there but words.

This happens with Paul too, but not as much. He sounds natural sometimes, and really weird at others.

Maybe it's just bad directing or placeholder lines? I can't be 100% sure.

The voice acting seems fine for the most part but the choice of dialogue is a little odd but more than that, the pacing is very inhuman like? No gaps or breaks between sentences for example, so if you're saying it was real people, then were the voice lines recorded separately for every sentence and clipped together? Because no way would anyone read it all back to back like that unless English wasn't a first language which would explain maybe the dialogue too. If that's the case then good job but consider maybe rerecording them with pauses or just edit pauses between sentences.

Can you explain what might of happened to the Audio as it has same glitches as what the ai model dose
Was it maybe a compression error or engine didn't play it proper?
