Stephen Fry Issues a Stark Warning: Who Owns Our Voice?
Stephen Fry spoke at the CogX Festival in London last week. During that talk, he played a video clip of a WOII documentary narrated by his voice. The voice heard in the clip is in fact not his — it’s a clone of his voice, trained on seven Harry Potter audio books that he patiently and painstakingly has narrated in the past. The cloned voice was then used to narrate the documentary without Fry’s knowledge, or permission.
