#Soundalikes
and unfortunately this appears to be the new status quo - subtitles made by machine with no one even double checking them, substituting homophones or soundalikes for what was actually said, frequently changing the meaning, losing subtlety and nuance.

checking a box and nothing more.
i really dislike llm automatic subtitles, because i still think the purpose of subtitles is to inform, not to mislead

i just watched the video for the teaser of fractional games ontos, and the subs were constantly wrong, in some cases really changing the meaning of sentences

May all your audio books forever be narrated by Gilbert Gottfried and Bobcat Goldthwait soundalikes.
Invent a weird, minor thing to curse someone with.

It's so obnoxious. The type of person that's looking for a technically correct reason to say slurs (or soundalikes) gets no credit for being technically correct from me.

Saw a tiktok about "PTV soundalikes" so here's me singing a part of Kissing in Cars because why not, right?

Going to be tough arguing that your voice is a unique brand of yours when many, many independently derived soundalikes already exist in the field

Here's a question: What's YOUR boss music? Soundalikes count.

They aren't even particularly accurate soundalikes, Jeice went from McNeil doing a glam rock Liverpool kinda voice to Sabat's take being vaguely Australian.

it’s gonna be a cgi cartoon with legal soundalikes for all the actors that they wanted to use originally and theyre gonna generate all the dialogue with AI

i love this in concept, but a lot of the sequels' bgm was done by pillows soundalikes anyway

Very occasionally the random weird shit in my brain is relevant.

Today it's that a whole bunch of the US legal stuff on voice use/soundalikes is because Bette Midler sued the living shit out of Ford for doing it to her.

An internet rabbit hole well worth going down, if you're bored at lunch.

my therapist knows i won’t meditate so she keeps wrapping meditative soundalikes in cheese and rubbing my throat till they go down.

yeah I was gonna say there is no way Troy Baker let his Jonesy voice be used for this right??? These 100% have to be noname soundalikes

Conan Exiles and the Age of Conan MMO both have such banger soundtracks (or maybe I'm just a total mark for Basil Poledouris soundalikes), they almost make me wish I played either genre!

Casting Call: We want a specific A-list voice actor and for you to sound just like them, but we can't afford them so we are casting for soundalikes but won't admit it. We are non-union and won't really pay well, or hire a trans person for the role, or offer direction other than "sound like XYZ", and
