         Sounding Voices For     Audio Books             

This quote from an article

off the web explains human /versus nonhuman voices.

"Human voices narrate most audiobooks, but the fast development of speech synthesis technology has enabled the possibility of using artificial voices. This raises the question of whether the listeners’ cognitive processing is the same when listening to a synthetic or a human voice telling a story. This research aims to compare the listeners’ perception, creation of mental images, narrative engagement, physiological response, and recognition of information when listening to stories conveyed by human and synthetic voices. The results showed that listeners enjoyed stories narrated by a human voice more than a synthetic one. Also, they created more mental images, were more engaged, paid more attention, had a more positive emotional response, and remembered more information. Speech synthesis has experienced considerable progress. However, there are still significant differences versus human voices, so that using them to narrate long stories, such as audiobooks do, is difficult."

Personal Note from Me:

I myself use nonhuman artificial  Al voices.  It's a wonderful way to listen to a voice read your article, or book, and actually, hear all the mistakes you made, that you didn't realize you made while you were in the writer's mode.  spelling, punctuation, run-on sentences, and so on.  You hear your article, or story as the reader will hear it. It gives you a great way to see if your story has a good plot, how the pace is in your novel, or article if your characters come across as real people to the reader and if the dialogue sounds real or fake.  I would definitely recommend all writers invest in this software, it will be a great asset to you in the future!   I use  https://voicemaker.in    And it's fantastic!
