Custom Narrators for Audiobooks

Categories: Custom | Other

I love listening to audiobooks, I used to listen to audiobooks a lot in the days when I drove to work, now I’m very selective on which books to “read” as I do it when I do a specific kind of graphic design that doesn’t require a lot of concentration, but sometimes the narrator’s voice just doesn’t do it for me. So to solve this problem I trained custom voice models so that I can have any voice reading me any book.

My favourites I use are Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and David Attenborough.

I made this video to show a few voice examples from two of my favourite books.

Ironically, it took me so much longer to make this video than to make the voices I used in it.
