As an audiobook narrator it makes my job harder too. The marketplace is flooded with books written with chatgpt now. When I see a cover with AI art, that's a BIG red flag. Now I need to go on a deep dive to figure out if your book is even REAL. You're jeopardising your own integrity as an author.

Good hydration, proper technique, lots of throat-coat tea, performing arcane rituals to ward off the common cold, and planned vocal rest days. 😅

As a narrator I end up untangling a lot of mangled idioms, and I have now devised my own to sum up the experience:

If we can’t read passages from our favorite classic novels aloud to one another whilst enjoying dark chocolate tiramisu and a bottle of Château Margaux in front of a crackling fire in a Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cold winter’s night, then what’s the point?

Finally watched Arrival last night and I really think we should be allowed more big-budget films about linguistics.

Hey Bluesky! I'm a Gen Z, (L)GBT audiobook narrator based near Chicago. My favorite books are sapphic YA titles and would love to work in Fantasy soon. Fun fact: I recorded my first audiobook demo in a barn in Germany. I think you can hear geese in the background. Long story.
