Speechless, the Stockholm-based company behind the titular voice actor database and asset management system, is giving actors more control over the use of their AI counterparts on its platform. 

Speechless contains a library of AI-generated text-to-speech voices based on real actors. And under the newly announced Hybrid AI license (which is available starting today), those actors can earn a commission whenever a studio uses their AI clone in a game. In addition to TTS, the license also gives developers access to other voice-over options like traditional voice recording and speech-to-speech.
