https://www.npr.org/2022/02/25/1082992947/ukraine-support-helpThere’s a revolution happening in Ukraine. I’m not just talking about the people rising up to fight Russian aggression, I’m talking about an AI powered audio tool that will change filmmaking, game development and other content creation forever from a company called Respeecher.
Most recently used to create the voice of young Luke Skywalker for the second season of "The Mandalorian," Respeecher’s voice synthesis technology has already won 2 Emmy awards and promises to radically change performers ability to create new types of characters and audio/ editing post-production.
Today, from western Ukraine we speak with Alex Serdiuk, CEO of Respeecher. We had planned this interview before the war broke out and in spite of me thinking it would be best for us to reschedule, Alex insisted we carry on. He explains his reasons why in our talk.
