Speechify also pays the people who's voices they're using rather than taking them from publicly available videos and recordings without permission.

That's also the business model behind ad localization now, they'll pay the actor once for appearing on set and then pay them royalties to keep AI editing the commercial to feature different products in different countries.

If they're up front about it and if the actor agrees to it (as with Speechify), I don't see a problem with that. SAG should also be involved to try and determine fair compensation.
