Human voices only. No AI narration, no voice cloning, ever.

The streaming app we wish had existed: for steamy romance, and the voices who bring it to life.

A streaming app for steamy romance audiobooks, built by people who genuinely love the genre. We partner with narrators on terms we’d be proud to show any voice we admire.

This might sound familiar.

You’ve voiced dozens of books. They could still be earning.

You’ve spent years in the booth: hundreds of hours, dozens of titles. Where you hold the rights or share royalties, those recordings deserve another channel. Tempt is one more: bring what you can, no re-recording, no chasing.

You’re tired of feast-or-famine.

One month you’re booked solid, the next it’s silence. You want steady, well-paid work from a partner who keeps coming back, and a rate you don’t have to argue down to the floor. That’s what we’re building.

You need more than a promise your voice won’t be cloned.

You’ve watched the cloning demos. You’ve seen synthetic narration ship. A reassuring blog post isn’t enough when it’s your literal voice on the line. You need it in the contract: never cloned, never used to train AI. So do we.

Any of this sound familiar?

Bring a book you narrated

What we offer narrators

We designed these terms the way we’d want someone to design them for us.

Bring your backlist, or voice something new.

Where you hold the rights or share royalties, bring finished work straight to our catalog. Or record new titles with us. Either way, no studio runaround, just a clear conversation and a fast yes.

Paid upfront for the book, not a royalty gamble.

A fixed fee for the title, agreed before anything ships: no opaque per-finished-hour games, no “let’s see what it earns.” And terms in plain English you can read and sign yourself.

Steady work, not feast-or-famine.

We’re building an ongoing roster of voices we come back to, for new titles and for the work behind the app itself. The goal is a partner who books you again, not a one-off gig.

Your name, up front.

We credit and promote the voice, not just the book. On Tempt, listeners follow narrators and come back for them. Your name is part of the draw, never buried in the fine print.

Your voice will never be cloned or train AI.

Not in a FAQ. In the agreement you sign. No part of your recording will be used to clone your voice or to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI model. Explicit, enforceable, because it’s your livelihood.

Terms you’d say yes to?

The usual deal vs. Tempt

The usual studio / platform deal

  • Opaque or rock-bottom per-finished-hour rates.
  • Feast-or-famine bookings, no promise of return work.
  • Your name buried in the credits, if it’s there at all.
  • No real protection from your voice being cloned or fed to AI.
  • Pages of legalese you need a lawyer to decode.

With Tempt

  • A fixed fee, agreed upfront and in plain numbers.
  • Steady, ongoing work from a partner who comes back.
  • Your name promoted. Listeners follow the voice.
  • Voice never cloned or used to train AI, in the contract.
  • Plain English you can read and sign yourself.

Still have doubts? Fair.

Do I even have the rights to bring my past narrations?

Often the recording rights sit with the author, publisher, or the platform that commissioned the recording. So let’s be honest about that. Tempt works with titles where you hold or share the rights (royalty-share projects you co-own, or work you produced), or we bring it in together with the author. Not sure about a title? Tell us, and we’ll help you figure it out.

Is the pay actually better than a studio or royalty-share deal?

We pay a fixed fee, agreed upfront and in plain numbers: no waiting on royalties that may never come, no rate you have to argue down. For most narrators, knowing exactly what you’ll earn before you record beats the usual guessing game.

Is this steady work, or another one-off gig?

The whole point is the opposite of one-off. We’re building a roster of voices we come back to, for new titles and for the work behind the app itself. We’d rather book you ten times than chase ten strangers.

How do I know my voice won’t be cloned anyway?

Because it’s written into the agreement you sign: an explicit, enforceable ban on cloning your voice or using your recordings to train AI. Not a line in a FAQ we could quietly change later. If we ever broke it, you’d have it in writing.

Tell us what you’ve narrated.

What you’ve got, what you’re working on. We get back within a few days. We’re a small team, and we read every email.

A romance audiobook lives or dies on the voice. That’s the whole thing to me. Handing it to a machine, or feeding someone’s voice to one, never sat right. So we built the opposite: human voices, paid fairly, credited by name.
