5️⃣HOW I 'HIRED' JONATHAN TO NARRATE (AND HOW YOU CAN TOO)
👉I use Synthesia to help with narration.
👉Synthesia is the first AI video generation platform. You can make videos without the need for cameras or film crews. It's fast, affordable and easy to use.

How I use Synthesia in my video creation process:
👉I find a book I'm interested in.
👉If I think it's something my kids, or others, might enjoy, I invest time developing a review script, capturing concepts, quotes, and researching pro's and cons.
👉Rather than hiring an actor, 3rd party, or go through the constant re-editing of something I mess up, I use Synthesia to narrate the script. In this case, I ‘hired' Jonathan, from Synthesia, to narrate.
👉 Once the narration video is created, I download it, and invest time into building and producing the rest of the video around the narration (e.g., media, text, flow). The actual creation of the AI actor is the easiest part!
