Dreadful choice of virtual voice combined with a clipped style of writing.

The virtual voice used to read this story is painful when combined with the author’s unique writing style. The stories themselves are decent. But style and speech pattern combine to make this a painful listen.

The main character is described initially as a blonde long haired male in his late teens. Yet the chosen voice has a cadence and weight more befitting a mid thirties guy from the Deep South totally incongruous with the narrative.

I’ve stopped listening several times and tried to resume. But two and a half books in, I am throwing in the towel.

so far so good

Why can we create AI to read, write, sing, and so on BUT we still cant have them pronunciate the words properly?
This is why i dont like computer narraration. they have no idea how to read it properly ..!!!

AI narration kills this

If the story is good it’s lost in the horrid narration. Run on words, wrong word stress for emotions. It’s just clunky and awkward. But it’s free.
