Text-to-speech (TTS) technology will likely partially replace the human voice in some audio productions. However, there are still limitations to the quality and expressiveness of TTS audio, particularly when conveying emotional nuance and naturalness.
Human voice actors can bring authenticity and personalization to audio production that may be difficult to achieve with TTS. A human voice actor can interpret the script, and convey the intended emotional tone and prosody while adjusting their delivery based on audience feedback. In contrast, TTS audio is typically generated automatically and may not be able to capture the subtleties and nuances of human speech.
However, TTS technology can be a helpful tool in audio production for specific applications. For example, TTS audio can automate repetitive or time-consuming tasks, such as generating voice prompts for phone systems or audiobooks. TTS can also be a viable alternative for audio production when a human voice actor is unavailable, or the production budget is limited.
While TTS technology can be a valuable tool in audio production, it will likely partially replace the human voice. Instead, TTS can be used in conjunction with human voice actors to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of audio production.
