This creation of voices was made with the agreement of Alain Dorval's family. “There is a big difference between artificially creating a new voice – something my father was firmly opposed to – and bringing back to life an actor whose voice is deeply anchored in our collective imagination,” explained his daughter Aurore Bergé, minister. responsible for Equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination.
“Recreating Alain Dorval’s voice is an opportunity to show how technology can honor tradition while creating new possibilities in film production,” added Mati Staniszewski, CEO of ElevenLabs. But since the release of the trailer for the film, with the voice of Alain Dorval, his daughter Aurore Bergé seems to be backpedaling on social networks.
“Never validated such a broadcast”
“I agreed to a trial. Only a test. An agreement strictly guaranteeing that my mother and I would undergo final validation before any use/publication. And that nothing could be done without our agreement. I discover… on X that this commitment is not respected. I have never validated such a broadcast. And my father would never have validated it as it was,” she wrote on the American platform.
Earlier, she wrote on an Instagram story that “they revealed the trailer making it appear that the film was going to be released with my father's voice via artificial intelligence. This is not the case.” “The film had already been dubbed by another actor. So the objective has never been any commercialization but a tribute to a deceased artist that no one will succeed, artificial intelligence or not, in forgetting and replacing,” she added.
