🎙️ Episode 026: What Is Acting in the AI Age?

Podcast: AI for the Creative Mind

Hosted by: Steve Albanese with co-host Nova Sage

What happens when an actor’s craft is no longer limited by age, appearance, or physical ability? Welcome to the new world of acting in the AI age.

In this episode, Steve and Nova explore how AI is transforming performance itself—where facial expressions, gestures, and voice inflections become prompts for creating entirely new characters. From Daniel Craig’s iconic Bond debut to Pixar-style avatars, they examine how tools like ElevenLabs, RunwayML, and Viggle are breaking down barriers and putting raw expression back at the center of the craft.

This isn’t about replacing actors—it’s about expanding what it means to perform, and opening the stage to more diverse voices and stories than ever before.
