From a message Simon Vance, an amazing audiobook narrator, mentioned that Audible has released over 9000 audiobooks with VIRTUAL VOICE, meaning it‘s AI generated. I‘m going to listen to the tagged book to see how an AI voice sounds and if it gets the emotion and nuance of a story.
For audiobook listeners, how do you feel about AI voices narrating books?
LiteraryinPA Whoa! I listen to audiobooks and never imagined a non-human would narrate one. I‘ll be curious what you think when you listen! 1y
TheBookgeekFrau I don't listen to audio books, but I'm very curious to hear your take on AI narration. 1y
Smrloomis I‘d give it a try but I‘m skeptical. There are lots of humans who don‘t do a good enough job in my opinion so I don‘t think I‘d like the AI versions!! 😅 1y

Megabooks That‘s kind of disturbing. I want the narrators I love to still have jobs. There‘s something to the flair. But I‘m interested to try this. 1y
iread2much It makes me sad for the voice actors. 1y
CrowCAH @LiteraryinLawrence I agree. This AI stuff is really affecting the creative community. 1y
CrowCAH @TheBookgeekFrau I‘ll be sure to post on Litsy my review of the narration. 1y
CrowCAH @Smrloomis same, I‘m skeptical too. And I agree, I‘ve listened to some narrators who didn‘t do a very good job. 1y
CrowCAH @Megabooks totally agree, keep the jobs with a human element! 1y
CrowCAH @iread2much agree, this will take away from people who have voice talent! 1y
