What are AI voices?
AI (Artificial Intelligence) voices are synthetic voices generated using artificial intelligence technology. They are created using advanced sound processing algorithms, including so-called speech synthesis, which converts written text into spoken speech. However, they are not a substitute for real voiceovers.What is the difference between an AI voiceover and a real voice talent?
A real voice talent is much better because he or she can express emotion, interpret the text in the right context and give it a authenticity that AI voiceovers lack. AI voices are more mechanical, without emotional depth, which means they don't engage the listener in the same way a human would. A real voiceover is flexible and creative, while AI is based on algorithms, which limits its ability to fully interpret the text.What is the difference between an AI voiceover and a real voice talent?

AI voiceovers should not be used in radio or TV commercials, as advertisers want to sound natural and deliver the message of superior quality. The human can express emotions and engage the viewer which is crucial in commercials. Using AI voiceovers could be perceived as artificial, unnatural, and frankly budget solution which in turn could negatively affect the company's image, lowering customer trust in the brand.Is it legal to use AI voiceovers?
Yes, using AI voiceovers is legal, as long as the relevant copyright laws and voiceover consents are followed. At RPM Studio, we have all the necessary consents and licences in place, so that we only operate legally in accordance with the applicable regulations. Our operations are fully transparent, which guarantees our clients security and legal compliance. The rights to the recordings are confirmed each time with a certificate of authenticity provided with the audio and signed by RPM Studio with a qualified signature provided by Krajowa Izba Rozliczeniowa S.A. Can I generate such a recording myself? No, it is not possible to generate such recordings yourself. To obtain a recording, you must contact RPM Studio directly. This ensures the full safety of our voiceovers, who do not always agree to read every text or collaborate on all projects. Such a process also ensures that each recording is in accordance with their terms and consents, giving you the assurance of legitimacy and professionalism.Can I generate such a recording myself?

Why should I choose RPM Studio?
When you choose RPM Studio, you can be sure that everything is done legally. Unlike many untested services, our voice-over artists, whose voices are the basis for our AI, are paid for every job they generate, ensuring full transparency of operations and a fair approach to voice-over fees. In addition, by using our services, you receive a Polish invoice, which gives you legal security.Do the voiceovers who lent their voices really exist?
Yes, the voices on which RPM Studio's AI is built are from real voice-over artists (from the RPM Voice Bank) who have consented to use their voices in orde to generate our AI models. It is important that voiceovers are always aware when their voices are being used and for what project.Can voiceover artists object to the use of their voice for my project?
Yes, voiceover artists can refuse to use their voice for a particular project. This is most often the case when the project contradicts their values, deals with controversial topics, does not suit their image or violates their contractual obligations as they might be linked with a particular brand on an exclusive basis. They can also refuse without giving a reason, which is fully respected.Why does RPM offer such voices at all?
RPM Studio offers AI voices because the market situation is changing rapidly and new technologies are influencing what customers want. Many industries are starting to adopt more flexible solutions, and AI voices are a perfect example of this. While traditional recordings are still the best choice for radio or TV commercials, there are many less demanding projects where the use of AI voices is fully justified. These can include, for example, voiceovers for instructional videos, apps, automated phone systems or even some forms of online marketing, where the priority is placed on efficiency rather than delivery and authenticity. As with image banks, which now offer AI-generated images in addition to traditional photographs, RPM is adapting its services to the new realities of the market. By offering both traditional recordings and AI voices, we are giving our clients more choice and flexibility according to their needs and budget. This is in response to the growing demand for fast, effective solutions that work for projects where a real voiceover is not required.How quickly can I get a ready-to-use voice-over with an AI voice?
One of the main advantages of using AI voices is the speed of delivery. At RPM Studio, we are able to deliver recordings much faster than traditional ones, often even on the same day, depending on the size and complexity of the project. This allows you to save time and implement your project faster.Is it more expensive to use AI voices in RPM Studio than traditional recordings?
Using AI voices is typically less expensive than traditional voiceover recordings. By automating the process, costs are lower, making it an attractive option for smaller projects or those that need to be completed quickly. RPM Studio offers transparent pricing terms, so you always know what you are paying for.Are AI voices well suited for commercial projects?
Yes, AI voices can be used for commercial projects, but it is worth bearing in mind that some types of content - such as radio and TV commercials - require a more sophisticated approach that AI cannot always deliver. In such cases, we recommend relying on real-life voice actors, but for many other applications, AI voices are perfectly suitable.Does RPM Studio offer technical support for projects using AI voices?
Yes, RPM Studio provides full technical support for projects using AI voices. Our specialists are available to help you optimise your recordings, personalise your voices and ensure the end result meets your expectations.How long can AI recordings be?
AI recordings work best for short forms, usually up to a maximum of one A4 page of text. Longer recordings can be tiring for the listener because synthetic AI voices, despite their advanced technology, do not have the same dynamic range and variety of emotions as real voiceovers. Therefore, for longer projects such as audiobooks, podcasts or extended narratives, we recommend using traditional voiceovers, which can better engage the audience and keep their attention.Can I order recordings of other voiceovers through AI - as well-known as Morgan Freeman?
RPM Studio cannot order recordings of the voices of well-known voiceovers, such as Morgan Freeman, through AI technology. The reason for this is simple - celebrity voices are protected by copyright and publicity laws, which means that synthetic versions cannot be created or used without their express permission. It would be illegal and against professional ethics to offer such recordings without the relevant licences. At RPM Studio, we take care to ensure that every project is compliant with the legal regulations, which is why we only work with voiceovers who have given informed consent to use their voices in AI technology.I often see some funny videos with voices of famous people created by AI. Is this legal?
No, it is not legal to create videos using the voices of famous people using AI without their consent. This violates copyright, the right of publicity and the right to privacy. Using the voice of a public figure or a well-known figure without their explicit consent can lead to very serious legal consequences, including: ==> Lawsuits for infringement of image and privacy rights - every person, including celebrities, has the right to protect their voice and image. Using them without consent can result in high damages and financial penalties. ==> Legal liability - in some countries, the use of AI technology to impersonate someone else (e.g. deepfake), especially for fraudulent purposes, can lead to legal liability. Even imprisonment can be considered, especially if such technology is used to commit a crime, such as fraud. ==> Reputational damage - if a video creates false associations or ridicule of a person, one can be sued for defamation or infringement of personal rights. Reputable individuals can take legal action, demanding large punitive damages. ==> Blocking of accounts and content - platforms such as YouTube and TikTok have strict rules regarding copyright and image protection. The use of illegal material, such as imitation voices, can lead to blocking of accounts, deletion of material and a permanent ban from the platform. To sum up, although it seems funny, the legal consequences can be very serious and the costs associated with lawsuits can be enormous. We encourage you to create legal recordings using AI technology in RPM Studio.Can I order a recording in any other language?
Yes, at RPM Studio we offer recordings in more than 20 languages, so if you don't see a particular language on our website, we can still provide it. Contact us and we will make you a suitable offer and tailor recordings to your needs in the language of your choice.Does the text for AI generation need to be properly prepared?
Yes, the text for generating the AI voice needs to be properly prepared to get the best effect. For example, numerals should be written in words to avoid errors in their reading by the AI (e.g. ‘23’ could be read as ‘twenty-three’ or ‘two-three’, depending on the context). It is also important that the text does not contain abbreviations unless they are to be pronounced literally, and that appropriate punctuation marks are used to help the AI interpret pauses and intonation. This will make the recording sound more natural and as intended.Can I hear a sample of how my text will sound before making a decision?
Yes, you can receive a sample recording based on your text before deciding to buy. At RPM Studio, we understand how important it is to be confident in the quality and tone of the AI voice for your project, so we offer the option to send a snippet of text that we will generate as a sample. This will allow you to assess whether the style and tonality of the voice matches your expectations before you decide to go ahed. This allows you to make a more informed decision and ensures that the final result meets your requirements.Do the recordings always sound as good as the samples on the website?
No, the recordings do not always sound exactly as well as the samples on the website. The reason for this is that the samples are carefully prepared with text that perfectly matches the AI's capabilities, with well-planned punctuation and simple sentence structure. In real projects, the text may be more complex, contain phrases, abbreviations, numbers or specialised vocabulary that are more difficult to pronounce, which AI may interpret less naturally. This is why it is important to prepare the text properly for recording and to be aware that AI may have limitations compared to a traditional voiceover, especially with more complex material.What is the process for ordering an AI recording?
The process is simple. You send us the text, we generate a sample based on it (if you wish) and then, once approved, we proceed with the recording. We provide support at every stage to make sure the end result meets your expectations.I have additional questions
