Replica Studios

Replica Studios built its entire platform specifically for the entertainment industry, namely video game developers and animators. Instead of trying to read a corporate PowerPoint effectively, the voices here are designed to scream in agony, whisper conspiratorially, or shout battle commands over the noise of a digital warzone. The interface looks and feels like a traditional audio mixing desk or animation timeline. Users can type dialogue and apply incredibly specific emotional tags to different parts of the sentence. A character can start a sentence sounding calm and end it sounding terrified. The software offers native plugins for major game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity, as well as animation software like iClone. This allows indie game developers to fully voice a sprawling RPG with hundreds of non-playable characters without spending millions on professional union voice actors. They also ensure that the actors whose voices were used to train the original models receive royalties when their AI counterparts are used, tackling a major ethical hurdle in the entertainment industry.
