Regarding voice acting, I think there is something to be said about human expression/ad-lib. Sure, you could generate a natural-sounding voice computer voice, but in the context of arts we’re still a ways to go before a computer can go off script and add just the perfect amount of intonation on a certain word that turns a phrase into an iconic quote.

Similarly, we don’t see CGI motion capture replacing Andy Serkis any time soon.

I think this is less likely to hit major films or TV shows, but it will hit the audiobook and video game markets pretty hard.

I'm pretty excited about the video game side.
