dragon ball is one of the most loved anime in Latin America. We could say that much of this love is due to the great performance of its voice actors. Goku, Vegeta, Picoro and Gohan They have very characteristic voices and are easily recognizable by all fans of the artwork by Akira Toriyama.
Of them, maybe Mario Castaneda and Rene Garcia are the most remembered for giving life to Goku and Vegeta respectively. A page recently emerged that allows users to send audios via WhatsApp with the voices of these characters. Although it was certainly exciting for many, it turns out that this is not entirely legal and has already caused the anger of the Saiyan prince.
Vegeta’s voice actor did not give his permission for them to use his performance
The news of a page that allows you to make WhatsApp audios with famous voices circulated a lot in recent days. With so much fuss, it was only a matter of time before this reached some of the voices involved. Now Rene Garcia, Vegeta in Latin Spanish, he indicated that he does not agree with this use and it seems that there will be legal consequences.
Through his page Twitter the actor indicated that neither he nor Mario Castañeda, the voice of Goku, they gave their consent for this. He further added that if the description of how they make these audios is correct, then there may be legal issues. Surely if they don’t stop using the voices of Vegeta and Kakaroto things do not end well for the page.
This page uses artificial intelligence to create sound deep fakes. Supposedly you can say whatever you want and the page will find audio clips that it will use for a famous voice to say your message. Some of the most valued and advertised voices were those of Goku and Vegeta due to his fame.
Vegeta’s voice actor’s response is not wrong, as this situation could cause problems for him as well. Recall that some time ago he was involved in a controversy due to an alleged macho dubbing, which was false. A tool like the one on the page could create audio with things that Rene Garcia never said and can be offensive. We’ll see how this matter ends and if another of the thousands of voices on the site join the fight.
