I’ve just finished listening to the last book. Thank you so much for your hard work on all the books. You got better and better in my opinion and I will probably keep listening and recommending your work. Is there any other project you’re working on or you’ve finished? Thanks again, you’re awesome!

Thank you so much for the kind compliments. Currently, I’ve been working on updating my own personal Star Wars edits, though I also need to get back and tend to the Batman projects I announced almost two years ago.

So this just got announced today. I’m honestly not sure how I feel about it.

Yeah, I got a facebook ad about it today. Kind of why I stopped working so hard on projects.

What do you mean?

That you’ve worked really hard for a great way of listening to the Potter books and now a commercial high budget version is going to come out.
Maybe yours will be better just because of your efforts plus movie, video games and Stephen Fry, but it’ll definitely become less sought after.

You are correct about more people wanting these new audiobooks, but I’m not going to say this project is better, though. I’m glad to hear it is for you.

I honestly don’t remember the reasoning at this point, as it was close to a decade ago. I think it felt more right for the DS to be there due to audience expectations even though the movie didn’t need it.

You said in your commentary that you felt having the Empire gaze at Coruscant was implying the film was building up to something dramatic.

I dont know if you still come in here to read the comments but i have just finished all of the audiobooks, been listening to them at work for the past year, what an absolutely incredible experience, the amount of work you put into making it unique and magical sounding with sounds from both movies and the very very nostalgic games , it added so so so much to the whole vibe, i have never felt this invested in audiobooks before, thank you again for the hard work, it felt like a true adventure listening to it!

Thank you very much for the kind words. I wanted to be as authentic as possible to how we all loved and remembered the series to be, as well as through the books, films and old video games, that most people seem to have forgotten about now.

I’m honored that many of you have reached out to me to listen to this project. It means a lot to me that you’re all interested in my work.

Here is something that I’d like to know, however. Are any of you who listened to these familiar with Jeremy Soule and James Hannigan’s music from the tie-in video games? I feel they’ve been forgotten about in the mainstream, and not many people talk about them anymore. As for any of you who haven’t heard of them until listening to this project, I’m curious what you all think of their music.

So I just got V3 and wanted to check out what’s new. The Sith eyes look fantastic, but I do have thoughts on the AI voices. They don’t always sound like the actors most of the time, and it could be the tone and inflections found within ElevenLabs. I think RVC might work better, since it takes an existing piece of recording and uses the model to speak it out as the same, but through the new voice.
