AI advancements may create a separation between human and machine realms, yet they could instill a greater appreciation for human qualities.
In the latest episode of the popular podcast Era Uma Voz, Diogo Mesquita opened up about his passion for cooking and the challenges he faced at the beginning of his voice acting career. The episode, titled "A Voz de Remy Ratatouille," features a conversation between Mesquita and podcast host Tomás Delfim.
Mesquita, who began his artistic career in 2000, gained recognition on television through roles in soap operas and children's series.

Like Remy, Mesquita shared his insecurities at the beginning of his voice acting career and discussed the power of voice perpetuation.
Remy, who lives in Paris, discovers the kitchen of one of the city's most renowned restaurants and decides to turn his dream into a reality. The animated film Ratatouille, which was released in Portugal in August 2007, tells the story of Remy's journey to become a renowned chef.

Technology played a significant role in Mesquita's voice acting career, as he often utilizes artificial-intelligence tools to perfect his performances. Artificial-intelligence has become an integral part of the modern voice acting landscape, enabling actors to refine their skills and deliver more authentic performances.
