AI narrator not good

While the virtual narrator’s voice sounded realistic there was no correlation between the events being read and the unvarying tone of the narrator. Slightly better than a monotonous drone I will need to be more careful and avoid virtual narrators in the future. It is hard to realistically evaluate the story as the whole time I listed there was a disconnect between tales of mine explosions and a light social female voice.
