Thank you, Claire, for sharing such great information, and so clearly and concisely. Your video was immensely helpful to me. And congratulations on your endeavors and success!
Thank you for making this Claire! I did write my life story recently and was really lost on how to go about publishing the book. I realize now I could do this myself too but I used a company called Writers Of the West from Houston, Texas. they didn't cost me too much so I don't really mind lol but thanks for making this!
There are many RUclips videos and audiobooks that use AI voices. Some are better than others at being “natural” and “expressive.” The biggest issue is the lack of quality control with the AI voice. For instance, to properly pronounce the word “live,” it is dependent on the context, which is not always QCed properly. Another example, it is common to write “911,” but it’s commonly pronounced as “nine-one-one,” not as “nine-hundred and eleven.” Sometimes, the AI voice is reading from a script with numbered bullets, so you hear, “Seven, cars on the streets of LA are always in a hurry.” As you can see, it’s a bit confusing. I use an AI voice as part of my editing process, so I can hear what my content like an audiobook. I have found it to be very helpful.
Hi Claire! Thanks for this video. I like KDP and have only heard good things about them; that's who I use. Question for you, if you check messages here and can disclose this information and don't mind sharing this info, can you say roughly how much you paid your voice talent for the ACX audio book? Thanks!
Would draft to digital be the best if i have no $$ to invest and just want my book out there to the most people. And then use kdp but not set it as exclusive???
And where did you get the ISBN? How much does it cost? And is it possible for authors from other countries to get a number there? ... А где вы взяли ISBN? Сколько это стоит? И можно ли там получить номер авторам из других стран?
The only audiobook platforms I know are ACX and Findaway Voices because those are the most popular in the US, but there must be more out there. Maybe ask an indie author from the country you live in and see what they do?

What software do you use when you are writing your book and which software do you use for your cover?
So cool! Thanks for this
Super helpful!
So glad!
I have written eight books. I self-publish my books with Amazon.
And where did you get the ISBN?
How much does it cost?
And is it possible for authors from other countries to get a number there?
...
А где вы взяли ISBN?
Сколько это стоит?
И можно ли там получить номер авторам из других стран?
But ACX is only available to US, UK, Canada and Ireland, right? What are the alternatives for audiobooks?

Thank you!
I published through kdp and can’t even sell one copy how did you do it
Same here, not sure how other indie authors do it. Haven’t made one sale in 7 years
@@ZeljanaMiljevic we should stick together and figure it out how we can get our books out there more
really informative 👌🏼
sadly, amazon is a bad company thay we shouldn't support, but it does things easier so... :/
Thank you so much.
So glad it was helpful!!
