I listen to a lot of audio books and good voice acting is key. Some of these folks are incredibly talented and use different voices or accents for each character. I’ve even started searching by narrator to find more of their work. I’m all for text to speech AI in practical everyday applications but leave the storytelling to humans. If no audiobook is available for purchase I understand the appeal but please support the voice actors when possible they really are doing great work.
