While ILM‘s sterling work on the season two finale of The Mandalorian de-ageing Mark Hamill to appear as he did well over 30 years ago as Luke Skywalker rightly gained international attention, Hamill’s appearance wasn’t the only element that was adjusted. Mark’s voice also underwent a similar transformation thanks to the team at Respeecher, and our very own Mark Mulcaster had the chance to chat with Respeecher CEO Alex Serdiuk about the process and how it was applied to those now legendary final moments of season two on episode #108 of Making Tracks.
Respeecher started with a simple idea. Could we clone human speech and swap voices?
It sure would seem handy for filmmakers, TV producers, game developers, advertisers, podcasters, and content creators of all types.
But audio today is limited. Like many of you, we’re frustrated by the robotic voices in our video games, auto navigation systems, and the emerging text-to-speech systems.
That’s why we built something better.
We were thrilled to be invited to chat with Alex, so be sure to follow them on social media on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and on YouTube and subscribe to Making Tracks for more exclusive interviews and convention reports as we gear up for the busy autumn/winter events schedule ahead of Celebration Anaheim in May 2022.
