A discussion about how publishers, especially independent ones, view narration, from the costs upfront to performance down the line. Over the years at Aethon Books, in our growth to being one of the top ten best selling audio publishers on Audible while remaining completely independent, we have noticed certain aspects of audio publishing that many narrators could be better aware of.

Instructor: Rhett C. Bruno

Instructor Bio: Rhett C Bruno is the CEO and co-founder of Aethon Books as well as a USA Today and a twice #1 Overall best-selling Audible author. Since it’s conception, Aethon has been very focused on the audio format, sublicensing millions of dollars worth of deals with every major audio publisher before starting an audio branch of its own that sits in the top ten of overall sales on Audible.

As generative technologies rapidly advance, voice actors have feared what impact artificial intelligence will have on their work. The legislative landscape continues to change, and in the spirit of equipping VOs with up to date information, PANA, NAVA, CODA, and WoVO are proud to present this panel on the state of AI. On February 24th at 12pm PT/ 3pm ET/ 8pm BT, we’re bringing together experts to discuss the current state of legislation and technology to better understand where we are and what’s coming next. 

The panel will feature Tim Friedlander (President of the National Association of Voice Actors), Visar Berisha (Associate Dean at Arizona State University & Professor in Machine Learning), Ning Zhang (Associate Professor in AI Security at Washington University), and David Newhoff (IP & Cyber Policy Rights Advocate and founder of RightsClick), with moderation from André Santana (Board Member of the Professional Audiobook Narrators Association).

We’ll be hearing from each panelist about the latest in their line of work, the implications for voice actors of all kinds, and their predictions and suggestions for the future.

This panel will be recorded and available to the public for future viewing.

Attendees can access the Zoom link on this page 15 minutes before the event or via their confirmation email. If you don’t receive a confirmation email after RSVPing, please let us know at hello@pronarrators.org.
