The May 2025 episode of Paul’s In a Manner of Speaking podcast is the first to address artificial intelligence, or AI. Paul’s guests are voice-to-text specialist Michael McAuliffe and dialect coach Tanera Marshall. Paul, Michael, and Tanera, along with podcast co-producer Cameron Meier, discuss AI in the context of human speech in general but especially acting and singing.
Michael, a linguist, brings AI knowledge to the conversation, while Tanera, by virtue of her being the dialect coach for The Brutalist, lends a unique perspective. It was The Brutalist that generated controversy by using AI to tweak the Hungarian-language dialogue of its actors.
