    2026/05/14

    Is audiobook narration still worth pursuing in 2026… or is AI about to wipe it out?

    In this conversation, I sit down with audiobook narrator, actor, entrepreneur, and founder of The Global Actor, Elise Arsenault, to talk about the REAL state of the audiobook industry right now.

    We dig into:

    * Why audiobook narration is still growing
    * The truth about AI and virtual voices
    * Why long-form narration is different from short-form VO

    Elise also shares how she built a thriving audiobook career with more than 160 audiobooks, why strategy and systems matter so much for creatives, and what newer voice actors should focus on if they want sustainable work in today’s industry.

    If you’re a voice actor wondering whether audiobook narration is still viable in 2026, this conversation is packed with practical insight and honest perspective.
