Jkane asked Laurence E. Dahners:

The Audible version of the Transmuter's Daughter is voiced by computer generated AI. I understand that it is cheaper for Audible, but the narrators are true performers, and an AI is clearly not. Will all of your future books be voiced by AI?

Laurence E. Dahners No. Still planning live narrators
Amazon has this in Beta. It's cheaper for listeners as well as for authors and for Audible/Amazon - though not as good.
However, it's already getting better. I expect that someday it'll be cheap to have each character voiced by a different narrator, which currently is only done when there is a VERY high budget.
The world it is a changin' almost like it's Sci-Fi ... To my understanding it's already affecting voice actors.
