so nuts to think his voice will never die. they could pretty much create a commentator AI from his madden voice work.

I've been away from the Madden football games for a long time now.

They can AI his voice work in future games. But I wonder how they will do this if there is no voice data.

"Touchdown by #27." Instead of "Touchdown by Tim Manoa." As there's no voice data "Manoa."

Or maybe when Manoa scores a touchdown, the AI voice data would be "Touchdown." "Great job Tim."

think how it would work would be taking sounds from other sounds like how text to audio robots work. you can get voices of songs sang by different artists now or have your text read by rick and morty and stuff like that now

True. They could dice up the sound Ma, No, A, to get "Manoa."

BTW, if anyone don't know who TIm Manoa is. He was Tongan. Live in Hawaii for a while. Then play for Penn State. Was a beast. Then went to the NFL. (Sort of like how The Rock is connected with Hawaii - not really)

I remember him because of how many the broadcasters would try to pronounce his name, especially for the first time. Because Manoa was a RB, he touched the ball a lot, so they had to say his name many times.

Today's TV guys are better because they practiced Poly names a lot more, than before.
