CD Projekt Red is using AI to help match Polish voice actor Jacek Rozenek’s current performance as Geralt to his voice in the original The Witcher 3. Rozenek’s voice changed after a stroke, and he agreed to the approach, Kotaku reports from an interview by Game File.
Why it mattersRespeecher trained a voice model using more than 10,000 lines Rozenek recorded for the original game. The production team says the work took dozens of hours, and that AI artefacts never fully disappear. This is voice matching for a specific returning performance, not a blank cheque to recreate an actor on demand. Rozenek told Game File he trusts the creators, though he has not listened to the AI version himself. Consent and a concrete creative purpose make this a revealing case in the debate over synthetic voices. Should an actor’s consent be enough, or should studios also face limits on how and when a cloned voice can be used?
