I recently finished writing a book (in English), and I would like to turn it into a free eBook. I am Dutch and not particularly fond of my recorded voice, so I am experimenting with three audio formats—all using AI: 1. My voice cloned with AI: I will record a sample, then let the AI generate the full narration in my voice. 2. Standard AI narration: A clear, neutral voice that reads the book word-for-word like a traditional audiobook. 3. Podcast-style version: Using AI to rewrite and narrate the material in a more conversational and digestible format, like a podcast episode.

Curious to hear if anyone has done something similar, and open to recommendations on tools/platforms for any of the above.

Pleased to hear, thank you.
