Any TTS tech you’ve seen yet that makes you worried (or even hopeful) for your profession?

The TTS raises the barrier to entry for new voice actors. Low-paying jobs that they would normally use to "cut their teeth" are being narrated even more poorly by things like Descript and it's ilk.

You'll hear these particularly bad TTS narrations all the time if you suffer through enough Youtube Pre-roll ads.

For the high end stuff no, but many of the lower tier jobs are under threat.
