Do you love to listen to audiobooks?

Thanks to the powers of AI, I’ve been able to turn my books into audiobooks.

Even though I love to read, I resisted audiobooks for a long time. I think it’s because of my hearing loss. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to hear the book clearly, and besides, I love paper books as well as the ease of ebooks.

As an English teacher, I began using audiobooks with my students, especially when we read something challenging. I’ve discovered that listening to certain segments of books can help with comprehension. While I loved listening to audiobooks with my students, I still didn’t consider them for myself.

Finally, a few months ago I took the plunge and listened to an audiobook narrated by an actor I like. Aha! Now I get it! I’ve been listening to audiobooks ever since. Right now I’m listening to Middlemarch by George Eliot, which is narrated by Maureen O’Brien. O’Brien’s performance is superb. If you love George Eliot or Victorian-era literature in general, this edition of Middlemarch is a must-listen.

AI Narration Helps Independent Authors Create Audiobooks

I want to make it clear that my books are AI narrated. I was pleasantly surprised when I listened to my own books.

As I was putting the audiobooks together, I enjoyed listening to the different voices and deciding which worked best for each book. I used an English male voice for the Hembry Castle books and Down Salem Way and an American female voice for everything else.

AI narration will never replace a talent like Maureen O’Brien, but it helps independent authors like myself make our books available for those who prefer to listen.
