Apex Legends Voice Actors Forced To Train Generative AI That Would Later Replace Them

Expert Verified By

"I See Myself Forced To 'Let Go' Of This Role," Says One VA!

Story Highlight
  • EA is requiring Apex Legends voice actors to sign agreements for their voice to train Generative AI models. 
  • Wraith’s French voice actor, Pascale Chemin, revealed that all 32 actors received this request.
  • The entire cast refused to sign, pushing back against AI’s growing role in replacing human talent.

Generative AI is rapidly taking over the gaming industry, and publishers aren’t hesitating to integrate these models within their games as a method of cost reduction. 

The latest victim of this takeover is Apex Legends. EA now forces voice actors to sign an agreement, allowing AI to train on their voices and eventually replace their jobs.

Why it matters: In an era when many video game developers are already losing their jobs rapidly, AI integration will further introduce a wave of turnovers. Moreover, the public has strongly opposed such usage to replace human input.

This was revealed by Wraith’s French voice actor, Pascale Chemin, who posted a statement on Instagram.

While EA or Apex Legends aren’t explicitly mentioned in the statement, it’s plain obvious that she is pointing to them since she tagged all the Apex Legends French voice actors in the post.

According to Chemin, EA directly sent all 32 voice actors in the cast a confidential email requesting their consent to use their voices to train generative AI models

The signatures were also mandatory and needed for the voice actors to be able to continue working. However, all of the 32 voice actors have refused to sign the agreement and collectively sent a refusal letter to EA.

Moreover, she added that if they don’t oppose such absurd requirements and claim protection against AI takeover, all of the voice actors could soon lose their jobs
