Amazon’s Aggressive Push to Replace Voice Actors with Subpar AI Dubbing
Stop consuming lower-quality media: Amazon has started deploying extremely poor AI-generated English dubs for popular anime like Banana Fish, threatening the livelihoods of human performers across the industry.
Short Summary
- Amazon uses cheap, fast AI technology instead of hiring professional voice actors for English anime dubs, exemplified by the Banana Fish release.
- Voice actors, led by figures like Damon Mills, view this as a massive insult and a threat to their careers, especially given anime's current mainstream success.
- The speaker argues this trend signals a broader industry shift toward prioritizing cost-cutting laziness over product quality, which will eventually impact all creative fields.
This segment examines Amazon's controversial decision to utilize soulless, flat AI voice synthesis for localizing anime, moving past Spanish dubs into English content. Learn why industry veterans condemn this move and what it signals for the future of acting and content creation.

Honestly praying for the day that the AI bubble pops. So tired of companies trying to force feed us slop.
"who cares if AI screws over artists and workers, its so much cheaper!" companies say as they pour fricken TRILLIONS of dollars into this shite
The AI-generated summary of this video for me describes Charlie's opinion as "controversial". The AI summary is literally trying to gaslight me to believe that some people don't agree with this take. I dont even know what to say at this point...
They know what they’re doing. There’s a reason why they did banana fish instead of some big anime along the lines of Demon slayer or chainsaw man. They’re trying to see what they can get away with.
Even YouTube is also forcing AUTO AI LANGUAGE audio is just as annoying and frustrating.
Kingdom hearts 3 sucks and Nomura is a good-for-nothing geezer
You telling me that glitch can dub the amazing digital circus in a multitude of languages that sound really good, but a multi billion dollar company can't dub their own shows in other languages? Pathetic.
the money they’re “saving” doesn’t even benefit us in any way. they’re not passing the savings down to the consumer by reducing prices, they’re just pocketing the difference. then act like they’re doing us a favor somehow.
the ai overview describing anti-ai sentiments as "controversial" is so fucking funny to me lol
Voice actor here. This has been sort of a relentless downspiral in my industry for a few years now. AI replacement began with e-learning, audio training, low budget YouTube and TikTok narration and then, as it got better, changing existing performances into different voices and accents, and now, full on dubbing replacement. It's a real shame as it's something I love to do and had gotten quite good at. It might be a little crappy now but the real issue is that in 2-3 years, my guess is AI will probably be indistinguishable from high tier voice actors and at that point the viewers may not care as much. At the end of the day, it's cheaper and faster, but its quite sad that AI is taking our ability to make art away. That's one of the great joys of being human I think. Thanks for touching on this, Charlie. You're absolutely correct, though. It doesn't stop with voice actors. Digital artists took a huge hit. Writers, actors, editors, CGI artists are just some of the people who will be heavily affected in the near future.
