Important things to know
While AI Voice Generators are awesome and can come in handy, real-life narrators still have a lot of value and give that human touch that can go a long way. Some platforms don’t currently allow AI-generated narration. For example, ACX (Audible) still does not allow it for audiobooks, it has to be a real narrator.
Also, if you are a business leader who wrote a book and want to grow your brand, there is nothing more personal than narrating the book you wrote to your audience using your voice.
Although it can be challenging to find the time to go to a recording studio, there are new innovative methods that allow you to do it from the comfort of your own home while delegating everything else to a trusted audiobook production partner.
Do you think AI narrators will be able to replace human narrators?! Let us know in the comments below.
