Superton announced on the 2nd that it has introduced three new voice characters planned and produced with voice actor Jung Jae-heon and applied them to Superton's major AI voice services, 'Superton Play' and 'Superton Shift'. On the same day, it also released a making film containing behind-the-scenes stories of its production on its official website.
Jeong Jae-heon, the 16th member of the MBC Voice Actor's Theater Society, is active in various fields such as movies, animations, and games with his wide range of voice acting. Representative characters played by voice actor Jung Jae-heon include Nick Wild of the animation 'Zootopia', Shota Kazehaya of 'May It Reach You', Kiyu Tomioka of 'Everting Blade', and he also voiced Vladimir and Talon in the popular game 'League of Legends (LoL).
The collaboration with voice actor Jung Jae-heon was part of Superton's 'Voice Partners' program. Voice Partners becomes Supertone's 'Voice Partner' to create voice characters with their own voices and use them to create content with Supertone's main AI voice service. Participation continues from all over the world, including Korea, the United States, and Japan, and more than 60 of the more than 230 voice characters provided by Superton were born through Voice Partners.
There are three types of voice characters produced by voice actor Jeong Jae-heon: Do-hyun, Jin-ha, and Dudumchi. 'Dohyeon' is a character who became a low-key figure after being a military officer in the Joseon Dynasty and became a low-key figure, and is characterized by a heavy, medium-low voice. A college student in his 20s who dreams of becoming a singer-songwriter 'Jinha' has a comfortable and sweet voice. 'Dudumchi' is a hedgehog character, which has the charm of leading the atmosphere with exaggerated tone of voice and chattering like a musical. These voice characters can be found in Superton's text-to-speech (TTS) technology-based AI voice service 'Superton Play' and AI-based real-time voice conversion service 'Superton Shift'.
Jung Jae-heon, a voice actor, participated from the initial planning stage and showed deep affection for voice character production. In the making film, voice actor Jung Jae-heon said, "It was meaningful to come up with ideas on what kind of characters to make and exchange opinions together." "I had a great belief in the technology of Superton, and I liked the fact that content producers could use what the voice actor played in various ways.", he expressed his feelings. He went on to say that "AI technology and creative talent meet to expand new areas and collaborate with other voice actors to create better (creative) environments."
Superton will hold a special contest to commemorate the opening of the new voice character. The application period is from October 1st to November 2nd, and the application category is the 「Content Challenge" section, which uses the voices of Do-hyun, Jin-ha, and Do-Doo-Doo-Chi to produce content, and the 「Voice Partners" section, which imagines what kind of characters Do-hyun, Jin-ha, and Do-Doo-Chi's lovers or colleagues will be and expresses the characters with their own voices. More information about the contest can be found on the official website of Superton.
"Through collaboration with voice actors who have accumulated know-how in expressing emotions and interpreting characters by playing the voices of numerous characters, voice AI technology will be able to express various emotions in more detail and depth. We will continue to develop technology to further revitalize the creative ecosystem through various collaborations in the future," said Superton CEO Lee Kyodo.
