I got an email today from ACX (the audiobook production platform) to say they are unilaterally changing the contract terms for how royalties are paid.
Authors need to opt into the new plan by the end of the year. Or else they will not receive any further payments. And neither will their narrators.
Surely this stretches the meaning of opt in.
They suggest that if narrators want to continue to be paid for their work, we should harass our authors to sign up for the new plan.
Que sera, sera. I'm not playing cop for ACX. (The books earn pennies at best anyway.)
When I say that I am no longer actively narrating audiobookx because the industry is a trashfire... *gestures at everything*
*Before some reply guy shows up to say, "You should sue!"... hahah, no I should not.
If you're an audiobook listener: support your narrators while you can.
If you're an author who has used ACX in the past, make sure to update your contract.
If you're a narrator, good luck.
If you want to buy my books while I'm still getting paid, you can find them here:

Hi all. I've come down with a sinus infection. I need to record something today, but I sound like someone's shoved a duck up my nose. Can anyone recommend something that will clear me up as much as possible so I can talk properly and make this recording without sounding absolutely terrible? #VoiceWork #VoiceActing #VoiceOvers

Working toward a dedicated laptop—something I can use for OSINT, story work, and gigs without compromise.
Taking on small jobs: background sleuthing, voice work, writing with teeth.
I work quiet, fast, and sharp.
If you’ve got leads or someone who needs sharp eyes, I’d appreciate the connection.
Boosts help. Real people help more.#OSINT #VoiceWork #Storytelling #Freelance #SmallWeb #OpenToWork #IndieTalent #DigitalSleuth

@dandb Yes, why was the choice made to use that accent? It sounds like the made up transatlantic accent used in movies in the 1930s-50s.
Mandy Patinkin is deliberate and skilled with his voice work, so you know it has to have been a capital C Choice. Are we going to learn backstory at some point why this character needs a transatlantic accent? Was the detective raised alone in a room with nothing but AMC on the TV? 🤣

Here's a link to a few showreels. If anyone wants anything doing for cash I am very available right now...
I've been in The Sandman, Alien III, Doctor Who, Blake's 7, Pathfinder Legends, Dreambreachers, loads of Games Workshop audio dramas and more. I also don't mind lending my voice to fan audios from time to time - they tend to be nice people and a nice way to keep oiled and busy. But paid preferred just now!
