A Voice actor can make or break a book.
Don't believe me? Spend a little time on YT listening to the AI dreck (there might be a good tale that is ruined by un-proofed AI voices).
Totally wrong pronunciation. And don't get me started with the spelling errors in the captions or title (I am not considering regional variations as errors).
Oh! What about INCONSISTENT errors for the same word or phrase?
