The folks at Eleven Labs have consistently upped their game, and the synthetic voices now available are truly impressive. I’m using them again to narrate articles, columns and blog posts for our readers who prefer to listen or who need audio enhancement for vision impairment.

NOTE: This audiobook was made using a synthetic male voice (AI). If you don’t like that or it troubles you, skip it! No professional audiobook narrators were harmed in the production of this audiobook, since I can’t afford to hire them anymore. This is for people who enjoy the story regardless, and for me because … writing is hard work.

Narration provided by Wondervox.

I am so excited to bring one of my favorite stories to life for your listening pleasure… a novella, actually, that had an incredibly long gestation in the recesses of my imagination. I’d put it off as an audio option because the voice technology I use wasn’t quite good enough. Now I think it sounds terrific. Yes, it’s AI/synthetic voice. I would never pretend otherwise. So fasten your headphones, and let’s get this dark, dark party started.

About Fatal Mistake: A Harry Hell Novella

The year is closer than you think. The world has collapsed under the weight of its own insatiable needs, leaving shattered cities where those who still have anything fight to keep it that way, and those who don’t are a constant threat. It’s a danger that must be contained through a tightly controlled society where everyone is observed and everything is kept in its place. Harry Hellerman and his twin brother, Elliot, enter this world three minutes apart. By the time they’re teenagers, they’ve been surrendered to Control to be molded into the perfect assassins. A boy named Harry Hellerman enters, and a man named Harry Hell emerges: a killing machine of the highest order.

And … we’re off! Wondervox is now narrating articles for two new clients: Discover Mediaworks, and Kapok Aging and Caregiving Resources. You can hear several of the narration supplments I’ve done for them on the samples page.

If you’re like me and your eyes aren’t always in the mood to focus properly, audio can be a way to make things more accessible. This is certainly true of those of us into our 60s and beyond. I’ve heard from readers who are visually impaired, or who have trouble reading fonts. Now I can offer them something that makes LGBTSr inclusive of our readers, and our listeners, too!

Every post, article, and news item will include an audio version. Simply click on the audio file at the top of each item, and enjoy the narration. I’m currently using my own venture, WondervoxAI, to provide the voices. The technology is exciting for a tech nerd like me, and the opportunities it offers to be more efficient and provide more service to various audiences is pretty amazing.

Fasten your headphones!

The future has arrived! The audiobook for Final Audition: A Marshall James Thriller is now available on Kobo. Produced and narrated by my very own WondervoxAI, synthetic narration. The sound is amazing. You may even find yourself with a crush on the voice I call Android Anthony. That also happens to be my middle name. Cosmic?

You can listen to a two-chapter sample HERE, and purchase the entire audiobook for a mere $8.99 HERE.
