ACX IS HORRIBLE!!! THE END OF 2022 I MADE A ROYALTY SHARE AGREEMENT WITH A NARRATOR (LATER FOUND OUT THIS WAS HIS FIRST TIME NARRATING) THE PRODUCER REACHED OUT TO ME INTERESTED IN NARRATING MY NOVEL. HE SOUNDED GOOD FOR THE AUDITION AND THE FIRST 12 CHAPTERS OF MY NOVEL. THEN AFTER CHAPTER 12 HE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES FOR THE REMAINING 20 CHAPTERS INCLUDING ERRORS IN DIALOGUE AND HIS VOICE CHANGED INTO BRITISH ACCENTS. (APPARENTLY HE IS SOME YOUNG WANNABE ACTOR BASED IN CHICAGO) HE LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND THAT HE IS ALSO NARRATING ANOTHER AUDIO AT THE SAME TIME HE IS DOING MINE. (RED FLAG)HE FINISHED THE FIRST AUDIO BOOK AND IT WAS FILLED WITH MISTAKES THAT I ADDRESSED TO HIM. HE SAID THAT THE DUE DATE IS APPROACHING AND HE DOESN'T KNOW IF HE CAN FIX IT IN TIME. I TOLD HIM THAT I CANNOT APPROVE THE AUDIOBOOK IF IT'S NOT COMPLETED ERROR FREE.I TOLD HIM IF HE CAN'T FIX IT THAN WE HAVE TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT BECAUSE THE AUDIOBOOK ISN'T UP TO PAR AND IT SOUNDS TERRIBLE. HE Agreed TO TERMINATE IT. Then 4 HOURS LATER TOLD ME I OWE HIM $1,100 DOLLARS FOR THE ERROR RIDDLED AUDIOBOOK AND I NEED TO WIRE HIM THE MONEY ASAP IF I WANT TO TERMINATE IT. I TOLD THIS YOUNG MAN THAT WE AGREED TO ROYALTY SHARE AND THAT I OWE HIM NOTHING. He OWES ME A REVISION WHICH IS IN MY RIGHT. HE NEVER RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST AND HAS LEFT THE BOOK ON "WAITING FOR FINISHED AUDIOBOOK" SINCE MARCH 29, 2023AFTER OUR BACK AND FORTH MESSAGES THE PRODUCER DECIDES TO LEAVE A DISGUSTING REVIEW ON MY BOOK ON AMAZON (I SNAPSHOT THE REVIEW AND MADE A COMPLAINT TO AMAZON AND ACX) HOW IMMATURE IS THAT TO DO WHILE WE STILL HAVE A CONTRACT.I REACHED OUT TO ACX ABOUT 6 TIMES AND NOT ONLY WERE THEY RUDE BUT ARE NOW CLAIMING THAT THE PRODUCER DID REVISIONS WHICH IS A BOLD FACE LIE. I HAVE PROOF HE DIDNT DO REVISIONS. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE REVISIONS AND NOW ACX TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO GET LEGAL COUNCIL LIKE GET A LAWYER IN OTHER WORDS TO RESOLVE THIS WITH THE PRODUCER.NOW MY AUDIOBOOK HAS BEEN TAKEN HOSTAGE. I HAVE NO REVISIONS AND I CAN'T HAVE AN AUDIOBOOK MADE FOR MY FIRST BOOK IN MY SERIES UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED WHICH IT WILL NEVER BE RESOLVED. ACX IS RUDE, INCOMPETENT AND THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT AUTHORS.
