People identify with people who speak like them. Why do I always have to listen to business books read by a US male voice? Why can't I choose the voice of the narrator? My husband listens to epic fantasy audiobooks every evening for relaxation.Īudio content also needs to be more diverse. Personally, I listen to a lot of non-fiction audiobooks while exercising, cooking, cleaning, and doing chores, as well as when traveling to rest my eyes. There is room for all formats and our job is to make sure our books are available in whatever format the customer chooses. It's easier to listen than read with your eyes because you can do other things at the same time, driving, exercising, chores, etc. It's important to have written word content in audio for accessibility reasons, but also because many people choose to consume in audio. Most content in written words is not available in audio format, primarily because it is expensive to produce, and many countries and languages don't have an established audiobook production ecosystem. Why are AI-narrated audiobooks an important development? Please leave a comment here or tweet me or email me if it's more personal. You can find all my courses here on Teachable. You can find out lots more on how AI can help you create and earn more in my course on The AI-Assisted Author.

I absolutely value human narrators, and I have spent tens of thousands of dollars hiring professional narrators for my novels and non-fiction over the last decade. I narrate my own non-fiction and short stories. I've been talking about AI narration for several years now, but it's just starting to go mainstream and I've been getting emails every day recently asking the same questions, so this is a round-up article with the most important information.įor context, I am an audiobook narrator.
