## Key points

- Rozenek approved AI retouching of his Polish Geralt recordings.
- His voice had changed after a stroke in 2019.
- CD Projekt Red calls this a special case requiring consent.

## Summary

CD Projekt Red used AI to retouch Polish Geralt actor Jacek Rozenek’s recordings for the new Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past. Rozenek approved the work after his voice changed following a stroke, allowing the studio to bring him back while making the new dialogue sound closer to his original performance.

The Ukrainian company Respeecher trained a voice model using Rozenek’s previous Witcher 3 lines; CD Projekt Red says its contracts require consent for AI work. The studio described this as a special case, while acknowledging wider concerns about generative AI in games. English Geralt actor Doug Cockle’s recordings were not retouched.
