Virtual Voice and Literature.
My wife and I have hugely enjoyed the Black series through Book Four, but were leery of sitting down to listen to Book Five because of Audible's decision to use Virtual Voice. We were right. It was a huge mistake. It's one thing to use Virtual Voice for non-fiction or technical titles, quite another for books utilizing characters and their dialogue. Hearing Black and Roxie's banter presented in the same voice and with the same inflection was disappointing, to say the least. Audible rightly presents human readers as 'performing' the book. That was not the case with Virtual Voice. There may be some economic advantage to using Virtual Voice, but Audible would be wise to restrict its use to pure narrations and not performances. We gave the story a one-star only because we knew it would get people's attention and we would like to see Audible respond.

Can someone please pay R.C. Bray?
I absolutely love books 1 through 4. R.C. Bray is the voice of this series. I revisit them annually. But he AI Voice doesn’t serve the story or series well. Despite really wanting to know how the 5th Black book plays out, I’m struggling to focus with the AI voice. I doubt I’ll even finish the audiobook. Can someone just pay R.C. Bray, please?

Stop with the AI VOICE
I love RC Bray and search out books he narrates. That is how I found this series. I listened to the first 4 books and really enjoyed them. I I have gotten to know and appreciate these characters and this story line. Unfortunately, AI ruined it. I can fully understand wanting to give AI a try but RC Bray gave life to these characters and AI choked them out in the back of a minivan and buried them in a shallow grave. So sad.
