(Not sure how I passed over this part of the post before lol)
Personally would be very against AI voice usage - to the point of bowing out, honestly.
Having said that, there are avenues to recruit voice talent pretty easily, if that's still something of interest. Even just posting a Twitter casting call would likely get traction and a decent amount of applicants.
I'm guessing this is more an issue of budget though? That's typically how it goes.
I know that y'all are against AI voices for ethical reasons -for me personally I just don't think AI voices are at that level of quality yet- but the alternative of "just go cast from twitter lol" is kind of ass.Short answer: No.
Long answer: I know that trying to get Laura Bailey, Jennifer Hale, and Kira Buckland is basically impossible, but no.
Inside joke answer: I know that trying to get Erin Fitzgerald to voice Rogue is both too rich for this game's blood, and too much of a meta-reference to those who haven't made the connection between Rogue and Chie, but no.
If the budget grows enough to allow for voice acting answer: I don't know any Patreon level voice actors by name, but there are a few rule 34 animators, like Redmoa, where the actors are credited/tagged, have Twitter, and might be interested in working on this. Also, wouldn't hurt to ask the community.
Pretty much all "porn voice actors" are utterly terrible at their job and the only reason they have one is because porn animators can't hire normal voice actors. Doesn't mean they're actually any good at what they do, it's just become normalized as there is no alternative. So much overacted bullshit. I can't take any of it seriously and I can't enjoy it ironically either. It's legitimately just unsalvageable trash for the most part.
Like, go play Subverse, the game has nothing but porn VAs and it's godawful. I actually think that the only way one can enjoy this sort of acting is if they are porn addicted and the same type of "acting" became an acquired taste. Even AI does better than that shit.
I'd play the game on permanent mute if they got VAs.
