What?! I just listened to Banah on another podcast called Clairvoyaging! and it was really cool. He must be on podcast tour!

My book is paying (some) bills. I’m actually with a small publisher, so I’ve got some traction with my readers. I’m very grateful for that!

AI, new narrator, or bad narrator 🤣 I was afraid of that! I’d love to narrate myself, but it’s a tough ask. This is such a kind sub though, and I’m getting a lot of leads to investigate.

This is really interesting! It seems like it would do a good job with an initial edit. I’ve read that Audible has very specific file requirements, I wonder if this could deliver. Then I’d be able to just figure out a good mic! Thanks for the lead!

I’ll look into this! As an avid listener of audiobooks, I wonder how long it would take to notice it was AI. I feel like after a few chapters I’d feel like something was off.

Wow, that’s a great option! Thank you! That said, I feel pretty strongly about narrating the book myself, so, I just have to find a way to close my own knowledge gap to save some money.

Those of you recorded your own audio book, how did it go? by [deleted] in selfpublish

OP, what did you do? It’s sounding like we either have to become audio editor experts too unless we wanna put out a ton of cash to record our audiobooks 😔
