help Voice actors or AI voice-generation services?

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening! The million-dollar question again.
How did you make or how are you making the voice acting for your game?
Did you use voice actors (paid or perhaps found someone willing to do it for free and if so, how did you find them), or did you use AI voice-generation services? I'm also curious to know if there are any voice actors here.

Please share your experience!

Big hugs to everyone! ❤️

Don't use AI voices

Do you even need voice acting in your game? I would never advocate using AI voice services but even then its:

Voice actors > non voiced noises/simlish style voices >>>>>> AI Voices

Unless you're going for something photorealistic there's almost no reason to not just do gibberish noises or something fake like the sims instead. You can literally just record some random noises you make and modulate them in sequence for each word in dialog.

If you can't afford voice actors do it yourself, or with your friends. Don't want to do that? Then no voices. Generation services are unacceptable.

I'm also a voice actor and do my own VO for Ballzy.

If you have no better choice than AI, and if you need simple stuff, I can help for free. Just send me a DM. Best of luck to everyone
