So at the start of every year, instead of 'resolutions', I give myself 5-6 creative and/or educational projects I need to complete over the next twelve months. This year, one of my big pushes was to turn at least 3 of my finished short stories into audiobooks! Not to be sold or anything... Just have the experience of hearing my words being read back to me and seeing if it has as much impact as the written page. I was planning on using Fiver.com and hiring a cheap narrator to do it. But I stumbled onto a pretty good AI…
Sample Audio: Behold The Pale Horse
I've done a lot of writing over the past 30 years. And now I want to convert them (inexpensively) to audiobook format. I found a site called Revoicer, with had a $67 deal for using AI voices to convert text to speech. The voices are decent. So I'm playing around with the site to see if I can make some quality audiobooks on my own. I might have to bite the bullet and pay for someone to voice them. But for now, Revoicer should be good enough to experiment with.
Excerpt: The Nightlord: Nightfall
My last audiobook obsession was Mark Tufo's Zombie Fallout Series. The incredible tale of uber-vampire-turned-superhero Michael Talbot has kept me on the hook for (currently) 20 books! That's not counting the side quests of Lycan Fallout, Demon Fallout, Indian Hill, and the interesting (if somewhat confusing) crossover with John O'Brien's Jack Walker, A Shrouded World. After getting caught up, I started looking for another series to satisfy my reading craving. One thing I did love about the Zombie Fallout series was the award-winning narrator, Sean Runnette. A quick search led me to yet another 'vampire' series, Garon Whited's Nightlord Series.
I'm on book 4 of 7…
I've read almost everything that Mark Tufo has written about his favorite anti-hero, Michael Talbert. From surviving the zombie apocalypse, to fighting aliens, vampire, werewolves and demons... even dimension-hopping for a short time. With nothing else to read (audiobook-wise), I've decide to re-read the incredible Zombie Fallout series. All 17 books (with a final 18th) being released this year, there's something about the world of Michael Talbert that keeps me coming back. Zombie Fallout Books in order 1. Zombie Fallout (2010) 2.
