What's crazy about this, at least to me, is that you have in Emily Blunt one of the best at using and changing her voice in her acting. I always think of her and Tom Hardy as the best in this area. It's like they are voice acting on top of their normal acting. That's a poor way to describe it, but it's the best I can do.
I don't want to take anything away from any other aspect of Emily Blunt's toolkit as an actor. But using AI for any aspect of her voice acting is like trading a Bentley for a fucking Daewoo.
Still never forget how bland those cars looked in the 90s.
The Chevy Spark is uglycute, and a Daewoo in origin. So they tried to gloss up their design game… but made frog cars.
Oh man, I remember seeing how Bentleys were much nicer than Daewoos too. Has anyone else noticed that?
