Quick Concepts from Today’s Episode:
The Mission of Women in Voice: To amplify, celebrate and empower women and minority genders in the voice industry
Women have not historically been represented in the AI Voice industry. Women in voice was founded in 2018 to change this
The organization consists of developers, designers, marketers, recruiters, scientists, and voice artists
When people with different thoughts, backgrounds, and beliefs get together and disagree, they come up with better ideas and solutions and make better decisions
Membership is free to Women in Voice, which is a non-profit organization
Voice artists forget that it’s inherently needed and necessary for AI voices to be developed
AI can be used to help those with disabilities and improve access

AI can’t sound more human without using human voices
"We have to figure out how we can become a part of this to move forward." - Anne
