I JUST SUCCESSFULLY negotiated an NDA contract to include a section stating the company will not use my voice and/or my image for anything AI related. All of the NDAs I've signed in the past several years have included a non-AI usage. This one did not. I was a bit nervous as I am THRILLED to be working with this amazingly talent studio on not just one game but on an upcoming game as well. I did not want to rock the boat, but as a professional voice talent, I also want to be proactive and protect my work. The client said absolutely they will update the contract and will not be using AI in any way. LESSON = Be aware, know your rights, protect your work, read the contract thoroughly and speak up on your own behalf. 😉
@NancyOFallonVO I did the same for my recurring animation role! The creator went out of his way to hire me over using AI of his previous VA, so I knew he’d be on board. We’ve got to keep asking!
@NancyOFallonVO Excellent work Nancy! Pushing for protections like this is important for not just yourself but everyone else who may end up working with that studio in the future and who are less savvy.
@NancyOFallonVO Nice! Great job sticking to what's right!
