What are you thoughts?

As an actor, or a singer what are your thoughts on this? How would you handle it if it happened to you? Is it a violation of SAG AFTRA agreement?

This definitely raises important ethical and contractual questions. If the contestant wasn’t aware their voice would be altered or replaced, that crosses a serious line in terms of consent and representation. Under SAG-AFTRA guidelines, any use of a performer’s likeness or voice, especially if altered with AI or dubbing, typically requires clear permission. If that wasn’t given, it could absolutely be a violation.

I was thinking more along the lines of being duped, not knowing it wasn't a real competition with no actual prize to be won. Is there a legal obligation to disclose?

Alexandra Stevens

Suzanne Bronson I think this is totally unethical. I would be pissed!

Anyone else have a response?
