VOCALIZE

Your voice is your identity—what happens when it's no longer under your control?

Directed by Shehani Fernando, Francesca Panetta & Halsey Burgund

An interactive installation with Sir Stephen Fry that confronts the future of AI, identity, and truth

In a world where people’s voices, faces, and words exist online—what happens when they no longer have control?

Through the power of immersive storytelling, Vocalize places participants inside a playful yet unsettling experience that reveals just how easily artificial intelligence can manipulate identity and truth.

Step into a soundproof booth and enter the fictional world of Vocalize Talent Agency, where an interactive voiceover training session awaits. Led by an AI-powered vocal double of Sir Stephen Fry, you'll learn the tricks of the trade and record your very own professional voice reel. But just as you’re finding your voice, things take an unexpected turn…

By putting audiences at the center of the action, the installation offers a powerful, hands-on encounter with AI —
and the questions it raises.

Generously supported and presented by Sage & Jester at Hay Festival - 22nd May - 1st June 2025
