Should voice actors be concerned about being replaced by AI? The Simpsons’ Hank Azaria thinks so – maybeHank Azaria, known for voicing multiple characters in The Simpsons, has given his thoughts on how AI may affect careers like his in the future.
In a video for The New York Times, Azaria records the voice he uses for the character of Moe in The Simpsons, to see how well AI can recreate it. Within the video, Azaria likens the future of AI in the voice acting industry to how streaming has currently impacted music – if something is readily available for free or at a low cost, he feels many people opt to use it, despite the ethics behind it.

“I think there’s a humanness that the AI can’t do right now – at least vocally, and may never be able to do – that involves a character’s motivation, certain emotions, subtleties of physicality, facially or otherwise, that add up to a human being,” Azaria says.
Looking to the future, he adds, “People are going to listen to and enjoy and watch what they like, and they’re not going to care whether AI generated it or a human generated it, or some combination of the two. Right now, what AI generates by itself as Moe the bartender or anything else isn’t going to cut it. But if it does start to cut it, people are going to listen to it, and they’re going to be grateful that it’s so readily available.
“Look what happened to the music industry. Do you think I cried a tear because the record industry reinvented itself? I got to listen to all the music for free all of a sudden,” he explains. “I don’t think people are going to feel much differently about any of this.”

Currently, the UK government is considering proposed changes to copyright law, which could allow AI developers to mine from creators’ content on the internet. The suggested change would mean creative works could be used to develop AI models unless the rights holders actively opt out. A number of musicians have since spoken out about the suggested changes, including Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Max Richter.
Richter made his thoughts on the matter known earlier this week with a speech to MPs calling for greater protection for music creators: “Music is the closest thing humanity has to magic,” he said, “But all of this will fade into history unless we support creators’ rights because, unless artists can be fairly rewarded for their work through copyright, there is no future for human creators.”

“A f**king nightmare!”: Watch tensions rise between Elton John and Andrew Watt in behind-the-scenes footage of the recording of Elton’s forthcoming albumElton John has teamed up with Brandi Carlile for a new collaborative album, Who Believes In Angels?, which will be released on 4 April – but the making of it was far from plain sailing.
For the first time ever, cameras were allowed in the studio to capture the making of the record in full, with footage compiled into a candid short film that documents the turbulent creative process of making an album in just 20 days – including tensions with producer Andrew Watt.

The recording process began back in October 2023 at Los Angeles’ Sunset Sound Studios, just off the back of John’s colossal Glastonbury headline set. John, Carlile, and Watt were also joined by John’s longtime friend and lyricist Bernie Taupin, and a band that also consisted of Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer (Red Hot Chili Peppers’ current drummer and former guitarist), plus bassist Pino Palladino, who’s just released a new set of strings with Ernie Ball.
Narrating over the captured footage, John admits that during the process he was exhausted and had a lot of doubt, leading to him being “a nightmare” as he tore up lyrics sheets, and even nearly gave up on the project, declaring “I’m going home”. One particularly tense encounter shows Watt defending himself, saying, “Dude, I’m just trying to make the song as best as it can be! You’re so impatient!”
Thankfully, tensions eventually subsided, and the music began to flow – there were even tears of relief at one point. You can watch the full Who Believes In Angels? trailer below, and listen to the first single:

John describes the project as “one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. In a statement he comments, “It has given me a place where I know I can move forward. Who Believes In Angels? feels like going into another era and I’m pushing the door open to come into the future.”
You can pre-order or pre-save Who Believes In Angels? now.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to score soundtrack for Naughty Dog’s new video game franchiseNine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are scoring the soundtrack for Naughty Dog’s brand new video game franchise, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which is currently in development for PlayStation 5.
Reznor and Ross have been composing for a range of films over recent years. So far, the duo have composed music for movies such as Challengers, Queer, and the new Tron film which will release in 2025. Reznor has worked on a number of games in the past, including Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and Ross has formerly composed for the FIFA franchise.

In a blog post from Neil Druckmann, Studio Head at Naughty Dog (the same studio which delivered games such as The Last Of Us and Uncharted) he states, “Our incredible voyage into the cosmos also needs an equally incredible soundtrack. As tremendous fans of their work, I’m excited to announce our collaboration with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross who’ll be scoring Intergalactic! The guys are cooking, and the trailer is just a small tease of their work for the game.”
The game marks the studio’s first new franchise in over a decade, and follows protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, “a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago… Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.”
You can check out the first trailer below:

In a recent interview with IndieWire, Reznor opened up on his film score work alongside Ross, and explained how the pair are flourishing within its industry as opposed to the music world.
“What we’re looking for [from film] is the collaborative experience with interesting people. We haven’t gotten that from the music world necessarily, for our own choice. You mentioned disillusionment with the music world? Yes. The culture of the music world sucks,” he said.
“That’s another conversation, but what technology has done to disrupt the music business in terms of not only how people listen to music but the value they place on it is defeating. I’m not saying that as an old man yelling at clouds, but as a music lover who grew up where music was the main thing. Music [now] feels largely relegated to something that happens in the background or while you’re doing something else. That’s a long, bitter story.”

Shazam has identified 100 billion songs since its launch in 2002Since launching in 2002, music discovery app Shazam has identified 100 billion songs, according to a new report. To put this gargantuan number into perspective, that’s 12 songs for every person on Earth. Or if an individual were to identify a song per second, it would take them 3,168 years to reach 100 billion.
“This monumental milestone not only reflects how much people enjoy using Shazam, but also their appetite for new music,” says Oliver Schusser, Vice President of Apple Music and Beats, in a press release. “Music discovery is at the core of everything we do, and we keep innovating to make sure music lovers around the world can tap the Shazam button no matter where they hear music playing!”

The first iteration of Shazam was a text message service for the UK only. Users could dial “2580” and hold up their phone to a speaker so the music could reach the receiver. Then the service delivered the song and artist info via text message.
The current Shazam format launched in 2008 with the advent of the App Store. By 2011, the company’s new iOS app already recognised over 1 billion songs. Apple purchased Shazam in 2018.
Since solidifying this partnership, Apple Music has used the software as a means to share DJ mixes from events for streaming. By using its song identification technology, Apple Music can distribute royalties to rights holders for each song DJs played in their mixes, similar to if the song was streamed individually.
Further innovations that have come from Shazam and Apple’s partnership include integrating the function into the Action Button on newer iPhone and Apple Watch models. This allows song recognition with the touch of a button no matter what other apps may be running on the device.
