As conversations about AI and synthetic voices grow across the industry, voice actors are being reminded of something essential: the unmatched value of the human voice. In this 50-minute interactive presentation, Dave Walsh, creator of The TrueTell® Method, explores why staying human has become the most powerful competitive advantage a performer can develop. Technology can replicate sound, but it cannot replicate soul, presence, or point of view. This session reveals why your authenticity matters more now than ever. Drawing on decades of experience, industry data, and real-world examples, Dave will illuminate how human truth consistently outperforms algorithmic imitation—and why casting directors are listening for the qualities only you can bring. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of what it means to Stay Human in an AI world and how to recognize the value of your voice in a rapidly shifting industry. Attendee Takeaways: • Learn why authenticity—not polish—is now the deciding factor at the audition stage, and why human presence remains irreplaceable in a synthetic landscape. • Discover what gives your voice its unique value compared to AI-generated reads, and how your lived experience strengthens your storytelling. • Understand how to recognize the moments your read shifts from human truth to performance—so you can make more intentional, grounded choices in your storytelling.
