Replica Studios has launched early access to integrate its voice actor service into Unreal Engine’s MetaHuman Creator, enabling developers to create believable AI characters with realistic voices.

The Brisbane, Australia-based company is one of a number of startups that are using advances in AI to create voice-based products. Replica aims to save studios weeks of expensive voice-acting reshoots and script adjustments. The AI voice platform from Replica will enable well-timed lip-syncing for digital humans, and it will be on display at next week’s all-digital Game Developers Conference.
