Male voice actor
World Ender » Devlog
Good evening everyone!
I've been recently thinking of adding a male voice actor for the role of Nik.
Let me know if you think such addition would be better for the game!

We have made an audio book (not visual novel) from the text in an e-book with Google Books Partner Center and their AI voices. The audio book contains 13 voices. You can download the audio, but the e-book must be published on Google Books before you can use it to create the audio book. They are pretty good (but not perfect), and the title would not have been published as an audio book if not for those. There is an audio sample when you follow the link.

Thanks a lot! ill have a look
Utilizing AI voices (and even art) takes away the practice of actual voice actors/artists who create their craft as a job. You can find voice actors who are more than willing to work on your projects for free if you are not accumulating profit. Don't resort to unethical practices of companies that steal voices without consent.
First, it is called a VISUAL novel, so voices are ‘just’ a bonus to the overall experience.
Voices are good IF there are talented actors, otherwise it will ‘pull down’ in the experience and people will turn them off.
It can be a challenge to pick the right voice, as it needs to match the character and be clear in its expression… just like written text.
If there is much speech, it will be expensive to add voices which includes workload. If there is only a little speech, will it add much to the VN?
In my VNs I do not use voices because I have many characters and much dialogue.
All the best!
Thanks Eriqa! ^^
