šļøĀ Episode 026: What Is Acting in the AI Age?
Podcast:Ā AI for the Creative Mind
Hosted by:Ā Steve Albanese with co-host Nova Sage
What happens when an actorās craft is no longer limited by age, appearance, or physical ability? Welcome to the new world of acting in the AI age.
In this episode, Steve and Nova explore how AI is transforming performance itselfāwhere facial expressions, gestures, and voice inflections become prompts for creating entirely new characters. From Daniel Craigās iconic Bond debut to Pixar-style avatars, they examine how tools like ElevenLabs, RunwayML, and Viggle are breaking down barriers and putting raw expression back at the center of the craft.
This isnāt about replacing actorsāitās about expanding what it means to perform, and opening the stage to more diverse voices and stories than ever before.
