The actor is known for having a calm and authoritative tone that has become Hollywood\u2019s most recognised. In an interview about his new film and his long career, the 88-year-old actor expressed that AI Voice clones cross a line. He believes that they are taking work from real artists and are being used without permission.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Morgan Freeman slams AI impersonation of his voice<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While discussing his voice being cloned via AI, Morgan Freeman explained his perspective. The actor said, \u201cI\u2019m a little PO\u2019d, you know. I\u2019m like any other actor: don\u2019t mimic me with falseness. I don\u2019t appreciate it, and I get paid for doing stuff like that, so if you\u2019re gonna do it without me, you\u2019re robbing me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When asked if it was already happening to him, the actor revealed (via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/ng-interactive\/2025\/nov\/10\/morgan-freeman-interview-nelson-mandela-six-decades-on-screen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Guardian;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Guardian<\/a>), \u201cWell, I tell you, my lawyers have been very, very busy.\u201d They have already found cases and are pursuing them? \u201cMany, yeah. Quite a few.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Another factor in the whole AI uprising is that there are now actors who are entirely made of AI. He criticised the idea of synthetic performers. Freeman pointed to the recently unveiled AI actor Tilly Norwood as an example. He feels that it strips away work from real people who are actively seeking employment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He expressed, \u201cNobody likes her because she\u2019s not real and that takes the part of a real person, so it\u2019s not going to work out very well in the movies or on television \u2026 The union\u2019s job is to keep actors acting, so there\u2019s going to be that conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/morgan-freeman-arriving-jennifer-hudson-131220156.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Morgan Freeman;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Morgan Freeman<\/a> framed an objection to his voice being used synthetically. He earns money performing voice work and acting, and thus, is against companies that would copy his vocal likeness without compensation. It was reported that the late James Earl Jones had agreed to have his voice replicated using AI. The decision came after Freeman stepped away from the role of Darth Vader. It was met with criticism on the\u00a0actor\u2019s\u00a0behalf.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1685290-morgan-freeman-on-voice-mimics\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Morgan Freeman Blasts AI Voice Mimics: \u2018You\u2019re Robbing Me\u2019;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Morgan Freeman Blasts AI Voice Mimics: \u2018You\u2019re Robbing Me\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Freeman has a signature voice; however, he is upset that AI is being used to replace him.
