I have nearly no desire to have my book read my the author. They are good at writing, and an audiobook is not simply “reading” the words on the page. Maybe something like Descript that the author can use to tweak pronunciation after it’s narrated but I don’t want the author’s voice.
I would like train a model on Allyson Johnson’s voice (narrated the Honor Harrington books) and then use that to re-narrate the 1-2 books in one of the spinoffs (I think it was in the Saganami Island series?) where they used a different narrator (who was horrible).
I also might be interested in using it to clean up the Wheel of Time series where, while it’s the same 2 narrators, they change the pronunciation of various names/words book-to-book. “Moghedien” being the one that stands out most. They pronounce it at least 3 different ways:
* Mo-gid-e-on
* Mo-ga-dean
* Mog-a-din
