I would love an audio version, especially on Substack.

Yes me too, I hate using AI and they to avoid it. Other creators use their own voice overs so I know its an option, but I don't know how to do it to give any help 💫

the audio version is on my website- if you click on the lunar insight you can listen to it there :) unfortunately any audio or video uploaded directly to substack is given to AI for training (aka AI scraping) and there is no way to opt out of it anymore 6 months ago there was but they removed the option to opt out). so i cannot upload the audio directly to substack right now :( i am looking into this more though- if i can find a way to circumvent and put the protections on my content- i will post directly in the future :)

Hi Harmony, I definitely prefer listening to you read your post versus reading it myself:) I can never get anyone to read to me, lol! Thanks!

awe i love this! now i have a visual of me reading to everyone when i record these haha :)

I saw your note with your Pluto Portal recording that there is also a recording so we can have the experience of you reading to us! That made my day, lol:)

i loved how it sounded :) never though of me ‘reading to people’ until you said that ;) now i have that visual in my head when i do recordings !!!

Amazing how that stellium keeps traveling together, first in Sagittarius and now Capricorn! I just read this and then out of curiosity tried the audio. It didn’t sound like your voice at all and felt like it could be AI. I didn’t listen to the whole thing.

i would also never use AI to write for me!

I know you wouldn’t ever use AI to write or read for you! I didn’t know if Substack incorporated it.

divineharmony's avatar

it’s definitely my voice lol. i am reading it though- i am not teaching like i usually teach- which is more of a flow. i literally read exactly what is written there- so that what is visually seen and audibly heard are the same thing. maybe that is why you sense a difference? typically when i teach or record i am in a flow state. that audio is not flow- it is READING what i wrote in flow- but it’s not in flow on its own :-0

Seriously, it sounds completely different on Substack than your website (like yourself!)!! I love it! 💜

divineharmony's avatar

so weird- i found out that substack has AI audio files of your posts in substack. the lunar insight audio that i read with my own voice is on my website where the lunar insight is posted. so go to that audio to listen to me (for anyone reading this comment thread!). thanks for bringing this to my awareness ilene!!!

I know other creators are able to record their own voice-over for substack so it doesn't have to be read by AI 💜💫 not sure how exactly to do it.

divineharmony's avatar

oh i would love to know how to do this? it appears that the ‘opt out of AI using your content to train algorithms’ option is gone now. it appears that any written/audio/video content posted here does not have protections. i am very annoyed by this- as when i first looked into using substack 6 months ago they had this as an option. if anyone on her knows if we can still opt out of AI let me know! (also if you figure out how my own voice can be posted instead i am all ears)

Alison Dale may be able to help, I know she still does some of her own voice overs 💜 https://substack.com/@alisondale/note/p-183460468?r=1o721x

divineharmony's avatar

well it’s actually posted on my website- not substack. let me listen- hold on

ilene goldstein's avatar

I just listened on your website and it sounds regular!! On here it doesn’t. Maybe Substack does it for accessibility?’

divineharmony's avatar

where are you seeing the audio on substack!?

ilene goldstein's avatar

Above your post, next to your logo there’s an arrow to play

divineharmony's avatar

omg! it’s totally my voice lol. i would never use AI to speak for me :-0
