Hoo boy. Some raw unedited audio where you will hear a sleeping-dog dream-woof, and plenty of screw-ups and frustrated grumbling!

Would this sound any good if edited?

Might clean up 2:40 (like, get it out! Lol) The dog is cute, you were trying not to laugh! (assuming this is you) 6:14 don't know if you'll leave that,but was funny as hell! Very good, very clear, very Canadian O's! Lol. This was quite pleasant ☺️

Writing that will be read, aloud needs to be written with the 'breaths' planned. No long sentences that wrap down to the next line because they need to read ahead. "Robert went down to the corner store to buy batteries, as the only working flashlight was now fading." As opposed to: "Robert went down to the corner store to buy batteries, as the only working flashlight was now fading."

So is this like an AI masking overtop your voice or something? It was a little uncanny tbh so not a fan, but you'll never see me yuck someone's yum, I think im realizing I dont like erotic fiction being read to me haha. Especially if it sounds like the person thanking the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for their contribution to NPR ... The pausing was funny yeah I agree. The "fucks sakes" was funny for sure. As well as the Canadian accent peaking through as was also said. I will say, there is a benefit to hearing what some of the dialogue should be heard like. I have had questions sometimes understanding what some of your characters are conveying when their reactions have as many layers as KT writes them out. Maybe there could be some context in the delivery via audio? Hmm, I think I just talked myself into likinf audiobooks for KT stories now ... I'm also realizing I'll only accept them if they include self deprecating moments while they are being read like in this.

Have you listened to "All Fours: A Novel" ? The author, Miranda July narrates her own work. I agree that the "fuck's sake" and the pup dog were charming.

Ha ha. I listened to one of those super long litrpg series and the narrator messed up and laughed and they left it in and I thought it worked so well with the book vibe it made me laugh. I was trying to be professional but it's hard.

Yes, like an AI autotune. I cringe at the sound of my own voice unaltered!!

Whatever you do, don't bring in the TikTok overdub voice!

Long time fan and yes you should do audio editing! For your own sanity, that's why. I'm a lifetime audio engineer, 35+ years. The ability to stop and reset then reread a section of text is a very powerful tool. ADR(Audio Dialog Replacement) is used in TV and movie production all the time. I could hear you start to get frustrated when you made a mistake then you make more as your frustration level rises. You need breaks to clear your throat drink water etc. So the answer is yes you need to be able edit, adjust audio level, etc. By the way you have a very lovely voice with good diction. I loved the dog bark. It gave me an instant vision of the storyteller sitting by the fireplace with the dog asleep by her side. Can't say I detected a Canadian accent but I'll leave that to the Professor Higgins types in the chat.

I have listened to many audio books and also my Kindle text to speech I prefer the Kindle most of the time. But I'm also usually listening to history or some other topic on my long commutes.
