Had a fabulous time hanging out with Whoopie Goldberg and Kate McKinnon at the Audies in NYC! (if by "hanging out" you mean I was in the same room...I'm counting it :)

Step one, realize that every narrator, even the most prolific and famous you know still struggle with imposter syndrome. Then, go to APAC in New York this March, and/or attend in person APA mixers around the country. Nothing like meeting people face to face.

Jerry Garcia’s AI Voice Debuts in ElevenLabs' Audiobook App Jerry Garcia AI voice debuts via Eleven Labs, letting fans hear the Grateful Dead icon narrate books, articles, and more in 32 languages.

Why? Let these people rest in peace. They did not consent to this. And as a fan, how is a poor imitation supposed to compare with the real live artist who infuses their storytelling with empathy and experience? What are we even doing here? #Audiobooks #Narration

Last race of the season, the Dead Horse 30k (18 mi). Came in fifth in my age group with a total time of 2:57, about 9:32 minute miles. A beautiful weather run through the red Canyons of Moab, Utah. #Running

When I record directly for Indie authors they're usually fine with on-the-fly fixes. But yes, it's not our job to make judgements on "creative choice." Recent example, a character "furled his brows." 99% sure the author meant "furrowed," but maybe it was a creative choice? :)

Yep, you'd be correct! Surprisingly, you're more likely to hear the typos/errors preserved in the more higher profile books for the big publishers (Hachette, RandomHouse, etc...) because the narration has to be word perfect. (cont)

As an audio book narrator, I am *required* to read what is written, even the typos. If I unconsciously correct it while narrating, I'll get a pickup to "fix" it back to the wrong word.
