FAQ

FOR DEVELOPERS

Can you clone casted actors? Yes, but the process is different from standard voice cloning. Lingotion is committed to ethical AI practices, which means we require a direct agreement with the actor before cloning their voice to ensure their rights are protected. Additionally, Lingotion supports a wide range of emotional expressions, which demands a more extensive recording process. We only use legally safe data, so actors must record a larger dataset specifically for this purpose.

Can you support languages other than English? Yes. In this release, we included one actor in Swedish as proof of concept that our system can support any language. We will add more languages over time based on market demand.

Is there any per line, per character or per usage cost? No—there are no such costs. The Lingotion Thespeon acting engine runs entirely on the player’s device, so there are no usage fees of any kind.

Does Lingotion use any cloud services? No. Lingotion runs entirely on the player’s device, fully integrated within the game engine. There is no reliance on cloud infrastructure.

Is there a cost per studio or per title? The use of an actor model is licensed per game title. This means each game title requires its own agreement for actor model usage, regardless of the studio.

Do actors receive royalties? Yes—but only from the fees that the studio pays to Lingotion. Lingotion acts as an agent for the actors. Rather than paying the actor directly for their time, studios license an AI clone of the actor from Lingotion for use in a specific title. This ensures actors are compensated fairly through royalty agreements.

Can it run both on GPU and CPU? Yes. You can choose whether the Lingotion Thespeon Acting Engine runs on the CPU or GPU, depending on your device’s capabilities and performance needs.

Will it affect graphics rendering if it runs on the GPU? Only minimally. Lingotion is designed to minimize its impact on real-time graphics performance. However, running on the GPU may still result in occasional minor frame drops.

What platforms are supported? Lingotion currently supports PC, iOS, Android, and macOS when used with the Unity Engine. Support for other platforms can be provided upon request.

FOR OUR ACTORS

Do actors need to join live sessions? No. Recordings are done in your own home-studio.

How and when do I get paid? You’ll receive 1.7$ per minute and the first sessions will add up to 25h plus 30% of the revenue generated by your voice on the platform – for life.

How do I know what to record? All text is generated through our custom software, designed to guide and streamline your recording process efficiently.

Do I need professional equipment to record? Yes. The work requires professional audio gear, such as a Røde mic (or similar), a dedicated interface (e.g. Focusrite), and an audio-booth.

Where do I record my lines?All recordings are done directly on the Lingotion web-portal.

How often are royalties paid out? Are there minimum thresholds? What does the reporting schedule look like? Royalties are reported and paid out annually. There is a minimum payout threshold of 300 EUR.

Where and how is the data stored? All data is securely stored in Google Cloud infrastructure and is accessible only by the company. We follow strict access and data protection protocols to ensure the highest levels of privacy and security.

Will my voice still be available if Lingotion doesn’t survive as a company? Yes. Any voices that have already been sold will continue to exist and be usable. Even in the unlikely event that Lingotion ceases to operate, all voice data remains protected under the Terms of Service.

Can I invite other actors? Yes, referrals are welcome! Lingotion is often looking for diverse voices and accents.
