Nathan Hull writes: “I have a prediction for the future of audio consumption. In fact, some may argue it has quietly existed on some platforms already. Imagine a scenario where you pay one fee for your standard single voice recordings, but you pay a levy for premium audio featuring multi-cast, fully scored audio entertainment, and cinematic sound design that turns every listen into a full-blown experience. The option is enticing. Two-tier platforms will become the norm: Straight reads at a lighter price, premium super-productions at another.”
