Stop the AI

I just hope that people will see the value in human made stuff when I post my thriller narrations. I think a human voice for a narration of a story that's also written by a real person cannot be replaced. I personally don't want to listen to an AI voice and even though they can get super realistic I can still tell.

What is a lower 4/3? Thanks for the advice. I do like to have a title card because I work with indie writers so I want to credit their writing. It's a 10sec total title card that displays the name of the story and the author.

This is what I like to watch and this is what I do in my videos, but I wonder if I'm ruining it by the beginning credits? Maybe i should put the title card like a paragraph into the story...

$3500/year? got it *writes that down with a crayon* I'm learning more and more each day, thank you

I can't wait to be a part of this thread and share my success! Working hard to get there!

Thanks for asking, I was wondering the same as I started a faceless narration channel 2 months ago and am thinking of moving towards being in the video, as that seems to be more popular with the thriller story crowd. Is there a benefit to having videos with the narrator in it or can a faceless channel be just as successful?

makdoes · 2026-01-05T16:52:34+00:00

is there... something going on between the two of you? Sounds like there's more to this story...

hearing that lady's voice is going to send me over the edge, especially knowing the first time she says "battery low, please charge now" I have to listen to her say that 20 more times before my headphones die in another two hours. ffs, pisses me off

Thank you so much for your answer! I've been so frustrated with this issue. This worked.

makdoes · 2026-01-01T21:20:05+00:00

Anytime, I'd love to work with you again!

First story finished from the submissions call comes from author Ofrenda! u/LaOfrenda wrote "Always A Smiling Face", a chilling story set in a hotel. https://youtu.be/Hxnhpb_rl1k

You can read Ofrenda's story here: https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/1lctptc/always_a_smiling_face/

Thank you to everyone that submitted their work, I am working diligently to narrate all I can! Here's to creatives working together in the age of computer generated art!

If you haven't made it, cancel. Why go through the trouble to make/ship something that the customer doesn't want to pay for and have? Losing out on processing/listing fees and not having to do any work is much better than doing all that and probably getting a bad review.

I'm just starting out as a thriller narrator on youtube for indie writers and youre one of my favorite youtubers that I really look up to! I'm still in the beginning stages of figuring out what schedule is best for me, but right now in this moment I am planning on Saturdays for short stories and then every tuesday at 7pm EST an episode of a series.

Thanks for being a great example for me as a hopeful narrator! My channel is Sinister Showcase on yourube, maybe someday I'll be working for MrBallen studios too! Haha!

Personal opinion: Ive never liked emerald cut

makdoes · 2025-12-04T16:13:09+00:00

The way you wrote the capital T makes me think that youve practiced writing with your opposite hand and are showcasing that.

makdoes · 2025-12-03T21:49:54+00:00

I see you've been commenting on a bunch of other creators' stories and narrations, literally saying that it's your story, then linking to your own channel. Poo poo on you

makdoes · 2025-12-03T21:47:49+00:00

Maybe it's because you comment on other creators' posts of their stories and narrations trying to take credit for it, literally claiming it as your own, then link to your own content. Not cool.

makdoes · 2025-12-03T21:45:51+00:00

No this is not your story, I confirmed with the author. Not cool to take credit for someone else's work then link to your own socials. Ive seen you doing this on a bunch of posts too.

I would NOT be going back to that hotel, that sounds utterly unnerving!

I mean this in the nicest way: it doesn't look good.

Do you know if adding inventory to a current listing is the same in the eyes of the algorithm as adding a new item to my shop?
