CD Projekt Red said it didn’t want to replace the well-loved vocals of Viktor Vektor, voiced by well-loved VO actor Miłogost Reczek.
Anybody who played Cyberpunk 2077 would immediately recognize the name Victor Vektor, the affable and surprisingly kind ripper doc who plays a pivotal role in the game’s opening segments. He’s also featured in CD Projekt Red’s new Phantom Liberty expansion, but those playing the Polish version of the DLC will find they’re not listening to the original voice actor. Instead, it’s an AI recreation of the VO actor.
We contacted his family for permission to create an algorithm from Miłek’s voice that could then be used over the performance of another actor, who would record Viktor Vektor’s new voice lines. Miłek’s sons were very supportive and gave us their permission to move forward with the project. The new lines were performed by Janusz Zadura, who tried to emulate Miłek’s style of speaking, after which we used Respeecher’s algorithm to adjust these new recordings so that they emulated Miłek’s voice.
