JamesEarlJones signed away his voice to be used by Respeecher AI to preserve his incarnation of DarthVader for StarWars projects. ObiWanKenobi
\nIt's hard to argue anyone as synonymous with Star Wars and Darth Vader as James Earl Jones, providing the voice for the Sith Lord for almost 50 years, most recently in Lucasfilm and Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi. The 91-year-old actor is working with an AI technology called Respeecher that works with actors so they can modulate their voices to sound younger, possibly showing signs of retirement from the role.
'[Jones] had mentioned he was looking into winding down this particular character,' he said. 'So how do we move forward?' After Jones was shown Respeecher's work, he signed off on using his archival voice recordings while providing guidance to the character in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Wood described Jones' contribution as 'a benevolent grandfather.'\nJames Earl Jones at the World AIDS Day presentation of Love Letters at the Paramount Theatre, Hollywood.
