Author: Matt Rouse August 15, 2024 Duration: 46:00

Welcome to episode 258 of the Digital Marketing Masters podcast with your host, Matt Rouse. In this episode, we are joined by Aaron Ryan, a celebrated voice actor and author of The Dissonance Quadrilogy. We dive into Aaron's extensive career in voice acting, which began in 1993, and discuss how the rapid advancements in AI technology are impacting the industry. Aaron shares his insights on the commoditization of voice-over work, the challenges posed by AI-generated voices, and his transition to becoming a full-time author.

Aaron talks about the emotional nuances and unique qualities that human voice actors bring to their work, which #AI still struggles to replicate. We also explore the ethical and creative implications of AI in the arts, including writing and music. Aaron emphasizes the importance of embracing one's unique talents and adapting to industry changes while staying true to one's creative passions.

We also touch on the practical aspects of self-publishing, the challenges of marketing books in a saturated market, and the importance of maintaining creative control. Aaron shares his rapid publishing timeline and the passion that drives his storytelling. Whether you're an aspiring voice actor, author, or just curious about the intersection of AI and creativity, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.

Don't miss this engaging conversation filled with practical advice, personal anecdotes, and a deep dive into the future of creative industries in the age of AI.

** Aaron knows we use a digital voiceover when talking about my book at the end of the show. Don't call me out, it's both ironic and designed to show the future we are moving to while most are unaware. Go read "Will AI Take My Job?" Available on Amazon.
