Cadence: Live from an undisclosed location... Iiiiiiit's Getting Away With It! With your host PHANTOMX!

Phantom: Good evening boys and girls. Welcome to another installment of Getting Away With It. Tonight, we will be discussing a topic near and dear to my heart. Animation. Specifically, voice acting. You can tell this will be a serious discussion because I am wearing my serious glasses.

*Points at glasses*

...

...

Yeah.

Joining me tonight will be two youtubers that probably don't want to be here, Please welcome GEEKY SPARKLES AND KITTY MONK!

KittyMonk: MMrrgh!

Phantom: In my mind we're friends.

Geeky Sparkles: MMh, Mmm!

Phantom: Love the enthusiasm Geeky. So like me, you're both of you are avid fans of animation and likely have strong opinions on the topic.

Geeky and Kitty: MMMH!

Phantom: However, we didn't feel right writing your opinions for you, and I've taken the liberty of gagging you for this debate.

Geeky and Kitty: * Annoyed grunts and struggles. *

Phantom: Ok, I think that's enough time on introductions. Let's dive right in shall we? Getting Away With It and our staff have made it clear we are in firm opposition of the use of AI in creative spaces. Such as the recent advancements in technology that allow AI to imitate or even replicate a person's voice. Could one say the practice of AI voice replication is akin to identity theft or perhaps even grave robbing?

Geeky: Mrrm MM HMMM!

Phantom: * Looking Briefly at the Camera * Sorry Mom. Kitty Monk? A rebuttal?

Kitty Monk: Mmmh. Mmm Hmmrrm...

Phantom: Hm. An interesting take. Really puts the problems we're having in the mail room into perspective. I'll concede that fact that AI is inevitable. But it's not as simple as taking people's jobs.

Voice from the audience: They took er jerbs!

Phantom: AI is taking CREATIVE jobs. Ones that are scarce enough already. The people who fill them are there because they had talent and drive. (under his breath) ExceptforwhomeverisdoingSQUIRELLGIRLthesedays...That'sgottabea dealwiththedevilsituation... If we substitute AI for the former we'll see a diminishment of the latter.

As of now, animators, comic artists, writers and other creatives are overworked and underpaid in a field that's underestimated by Hollywood as a whole.

Companies like Disney would have no qualms replacing voice talent with an IT guy running a sound board if it's cheaper.

Geeky Sparkles: MMMh MMMGH!

Phantom: Whoops. Went on a bit of a tangent there didn't I? Well Ladies, do you have some input on this? I feel like I'm doing all the talking.

Kitty Monk: MMH!

Phantom: Your wisdom astounds me KM. Can I call you KM?

Kitty Monk: ...

Geeky Sparkles: MMRMM.

Phantom: I'd also like to site the 1989 Little Mermaid. In which a greedy witch uses her magic to steal another girl's voice. Clear evidence that this is a villainous act.

Geeky: Hmmm Hmmm *Stomping*

Phantom: "Magic is just Science we haven't explained yet" Egon Spengler

Kitty Monk: Rrrmm kmmm.

Phantom: Oh, I know. How good was Pat Carrol as Urusula? She was so SMOOTH and charismatic. Honestly, I PITY Melissa McCarthy for inevitably being compared to her.

* loud buzzing overhead *

Geeky Sparkels: Hmm?

Phantom: Ooop. That's the "No simping for Ursula alarm". Something I ironically installed more for my WIFE than myself...

Kitty Monk: Gmmmh.

Phantom: Don't judge Kitty.

Geeky Sparkles: Hmmmmph.

Phantom: Next question, voice actors voicing characters outside their race and gender.

Kitty Monk: MHH

Geeky Sparkles: Gllbbb

Phantom: See this is a tricky one because--

* banging and gunshots from off stage *

Nostalgia Critic (off stage): Open up Phantom! I KNOW YOU'VE GOT TAMARA!

Phantom: Crap. SEINOR PHANTOM HE NO HERE...

* Further bangs and gunshots *

Phantom: Crap. Ladies, I'm afraid that's all the time we have tonight. Thank you again for joining us and---

* A loud crash is heard and the lights short out *

GeekySparkles and Kitty Monk were used as parody. No opinions expressed are theirs. Gags provided by Thompson's duct tape. If you can find a better way to gag a girl, you're a liar.
