They hired a voice actor for Sky's voice.

If OpenAI loses, does this mean this voice actor cannot do their job any longer, because it happens some other actor has a similar voice?

Could Sky's voice actor sue a movie Johansson works in, because Johannson is copying her voice?

That’s a blatant misunderstanding of how voice acting works. A good voice actor is a vocal chameleon, and can really change their voice for each role.

>>Texasi+L4
This is simply not true. A voice actor doesn’t have to be skilled at changing their voice, especially in this context. Many are hired for their natural voice, like narration. When most film actors do voice acting, they’re just using their voice. They’re not hired for being chameleons.

That’s because film actors are hired to voice act for their fame, not for their skills as voice actors.

Yes, and another example is that sometimes the “skill” of a voice actor is having pleasing vocal cords. Again, this is why most narrators are hired: they sound good. Not all voice actors are chameleons. It is not a requirement for all voice acting jobs. If you listen to many audio books, you’ll see the voice actors usually have very very poor ability to modulate their voice. Laughably so.
