I prefer the voice to match the protagonist. Or better yet an audio play with the narrator voice plus a voice matched to each speaker.
This is the kind of bikeshedding that AI text-to-voice can make moot. We can all have it our own way. That's an argument for generating the voice just in time rather than as a batch. But as long as such tools aren't ubiquitous this batch is a great public service.
- gavmor 2y ago> an audio play with the narrator voice plus a voice matched to each speaker Oh, please don't! I find this extremely disorienting! When I am listening to an audiobook, I am not listening to the voice. I am transported, envisioning another world, and changing voices often breaks the immersion by forcing me to re-calibrate to their cadence, tenor, accent, etc. > We can all have it our own way. Ah, well, yes. Of course. Nevermind, then!
