    By reference do you mean somewhat similar sounding voice? This is status quo for voice acting. Do you think if someone tries to hire James Earl Jones for a voice part and he says no they throw their arms up, say fuck it and hire Megan Mullally? When hiring a voice actor you have a certain sound in mind you are going for and you take the closest thing your budget allows.

    I do get off on how heated this whole debate has gotten with everyone picking the side of completely unrelatable rich people. I’m waiting for a good AI generated porno with altman and johansen reaching forgiveness in the form of a passionate 69.

      No, I mean referring to the movie Her which features the voice of Johansen as an AI assistant

        The producers of Her do not own the concept, nor does Scarlet. Nothing is referring to the movie other than it’s a personal assistant with a bubbly womans voice which is much too broad and general to infringe on anything. Its not even close to being a unique concept either.

        Doubt she has any rights to that movie though. That’s not usually how things work. Again, let’s bring in my good friend JEJ. When people mimic Darth Vader, he doesn’t personally get a cut or have entitlement to any rights for mimicking that voice.
