I don’t condone AI attempting to “steal” voices of passed actors/actresses, but I’d love to have my car navigation using her voice (either as the computer OR as Lwaxana)
She did supposedly record her voice for the purpose of using it as the computer before she died, but I’ve never heard it used.
Unable to comply.
I’d love to have the voice of Data giving me navigation directions and LaForge interrupting on a regular basis feeding me endless technobabble about everything that was wrong with my vehicle while the ‘red alert’ siren plays in the background
Couple more years and we can celebrate her centennial.
This isn’t a criticism of Majel Barrett, but it didn’t “take” 3 actresses to play her roles, those were just hiring decisions.
Do you really think they would have decided to hire one actor for all three roles? And yeah, it kind of is a criticism because the point is she had that much range as an actress, playing multiple iconic characters which people have no problem keeping separate in their minds rather despite all being played by one person.
It wouldn’t have to take a dozen actors to replace Jeffrey Combs either… but good luck finding one actor to replace all of his roles.
Do I really think what? No I don’t, I didn’t say that,. and the question doesn’t even make sense.
Let’s look at a Spock - to my knowledge 3 actors have played adult Spock in movies and TV shows and at least two have played him in games. Clearly this doesn’t reflect on Leonard Nimoy’s acting ability in any way, Casting choices are based on all kinds of factors. I know some people think anyone who isn’t jumping up and down waving pompoms is the enemy, which is why I prefaced my comment by saying it wasn’t meant as a criticism of Majel Roddenberry. If you can’t accept that as honest… whatever dude.
