Finding someone to provide a female voice for an audio story

[Modernmenelaus]

I'm trying to produce an audio version of my story "Second Friday" (https://www.literotica.com/s/second-friday ), and I've been trying to find someone to provide a female voice for the relevant parts - so far without success.

I've put up posts in "Authors Hangout" , "Online Roleplay" and "Sexual Roleplay" so far without success.

I've also tried various "text to speech" engines and a variety of voice manipulation software with results ranging from inadequate to terrible.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where else I might put up a request, or other options for filling the role? The ideal candidate would have a slightly "posh" English accent, to fit the character, but I can work around that if anyone else would volunteer.

I read the start of your story. You may want to try reading your dialogue out loud as it quite often doesn’t sound or flow like normal speech, it reads better than it sounds spoken. That may be why you can’t find a volunteer. To get the nuances and inflection of speech into the written word so it sounds relaxed and natural reading it aloud to yourself will help. Even upper class English people don’t natural speak as you’ve written it, They abbreviate and don’t say complex words and use shorter sentances. A word that looks great in print may be difficult to say, halting the flow of a sentance not high on the list of things to do when trying to be seductive.

If you're willing to spend a little money, you should be able to find a voice actor or actress on Fiverr who'll do a good job for a relatively low rate. Of course the bigger your budget the better the results you'll get, but you might be surprised at how little it'll cost you for a short recording.
