Human AI Voice Actor
Human AI voice actor for apps, GPS, smart devices & virtual assistants
I’m Shannon Scott, a professional voice actor who performs the human voice behind AI styled characters and systems, GPS navigation, smart devices, virtual assistants, and sci-fi computer voices, with the warmth, direction, and consistency a synthetic voice can’t offer on its own.
What Is a Human AI Voice Actor?
A real performer behind the voice you hear from a machine
A human AI voice actor is a trained performer who records the voice behind AI styled characters and digital systems, a GPS system, a smart speaker, a fictional virtual assistant in a commercial or film, a sci-fi computer voice. It’s genuine acting work, directed, performed, and delivered by a real person, not a text to speech engine generating audio on its own.
This is different from text to speech, which stitches together pre-recorded fragments or generates entirely synthetic audio from a written prompt. A human AI voice actor gives you a real performance you can direct in real time, matched precisely to the tone, pace, and personality your project needs, then delivered consistently take after take.
My Position on AI
Real performance, on my own terms
I love voicing AI styled characters and systems, GPS voices, smart devices, sci-fi computers, virtual assistant roles for commercials and film. That’s genuine character and voiceover work, and I bring the same craft to it as anything else I record.
What I don’t do is hand my voice over for open ended AI training or voice cloning, a model built from my voice that could then be used indefinitely, in ways I never agreed to or directed. Every project I take on is scoped, directed, and delivered by me personally. If a company needs specific recorded prompts for a real conversational system, I’m open to discussing that too, on fair, clearly defined terms.
This position is aligned with the National Association of Voice Actors’ fAIr Voices campaign, built around three principles: consent, control, and compensation, whenever AI and voice work intersect.
What I Can Voice
AI styled characters and systems, performed by a real actor
GPS & Navigation Systems
Clear, credible, friendly directions people actually trust while keeping their eyes on the road.
Smart Devices
Smart speakers, thermostats, refrigerators, and connected home technology that needs a warm, approachable voice.
Virtual Assistant Characters
A fictional AI assistant in a commercial, film, or corporate video, performed and directed exactly to your vision.
Sci-Fi Computer Voices
That familiar, slightly detached computer voice from science fiction film, television, and video games.
Conversational AI & IVR Prompts
Consistent, natural sounding recorded prompts for real voice systems, delivered under clear, agreed upon terms.
Kiosks & Public Systems
Accessible, trustworthy voice guidance for kiosks, transit systems, and public facing technology.
Who Hires a Human AI Voice Actor
A growing need across technology and production
- App developers and software companies
- Automotive and GPS technology companies
- Smart device and home technology manufacturers
- Film, television, and commercial production companies
- Healthcare communication and technology companies
- Transit agencies and public technology systems
Whether it’s a real product that needs a consistent, directable voice, or a story that needs a convincing AI character, I bring the same broadcast quality recording and genuine performance to every project.
The Voice Behind Every Project
A professionally trained voice, recorded to broadcast standard
Every project is recorded in my own professionally treated home studio, using a Neumann TLM 103 microphone, an RME Fireface 802 interface, and a WhisperRoom isolation booth, the same consistent environment every time, which matters enormously for any project depending on a stable, repeatable voice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions, direct answers
What is a human AI voice actor?
A human AI voice actor is a real performer who records the voice behind AI styled characters and systems, like a GPS system, a smart device, or a fictional virtual assistant, rather than a synthetic, computer generated voice.
What’s the difference between a human AI voice actor and text to speech?
Text to speech generates audio from written text using pre-recorded fragments or a synthetic model, with no live performer involved. A human AI voice actor is a real person, directed and recorded specifically for your project, offering consistency, warmth, and creative control that synthetic audio can’t fully replicate.
Do you license your voice for AI training or voice cloning?
No. I don’t hand my voice over for open ended AI training or cloning. I do perform AI styled characters and systems, and I’m open to recording specific, scoped prompts for real conversational systems under clearly agreed upon terms.
Can you record prompts for a real conversational AI or IVR system?
Yes, within a clearly defined scope. Every project like this is discussed in advance, with fair terms around how the recordings will be used, in line with industry standards around consent, control, and compensation.
How do I get started?
