      I had a audio book where the as author was reading it. And they SUCKED at reading. Just incredibly distracting ways they say specific words. How they end sentences with “uh” and “um”.

      It was one of the few times I got a physical book over the audio version.

        At the dubbing studio I work at, we sometimes record audiobooks. Usually, it is done by professional voice actors, but occasionally, we have an influencer that wants to record it themselves.

        We just sigh, and work 3 times as long for a result 10 times as bad. They do pay, so 🤷🏻‍♀️
