Spoken Into Existence — A Live AI Storytelling Experiment with Joseph Nassise and Tom Leveen

Ever wonder what would happen if a couple of award-winning and best-selling authors teamed up with cutting-edge AI to cast, voice, and publish an entire audiobook — in real time, as the story is being written?

Yeah… no one did.

Because it’s never been done. Until now.

Until we made that very thing possible.

The team at Spoken is beyond excited to introduce Spoken Into Existence, a first-of-its-kind, real-time audiobook series from New York Times Best Selling author Joseph Nassise (The Templar Chronicles, The Jeremiah Hunt Trilogy) and Tom Leveen (Party, Spawn).

Over the next five weeks, they’ll be co-writing, voice casting, automating narration, and publishing a brand-new serialized story — as it happens, only on Spoken.

Written for audio. Voiced with AI. Published in real time.

This isn’t just about releasing a story. It’s about bringing you inside the storytelling process itself — from story meetings and dialogue tweaks to AI voice testing and live publishing. You’ll get a front-row seat as two veteran authors build an audio-first series from the ground up using Spoken’s studio tools.

The story at hand is a dark fantasy saga reimagining the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse — crafted specifically with performance in mind. Joe and Tom are shaping their characters by listening to them as they write, fine-tuning pacing and delivery in real time, and letting sound guide the story’s evolution — not just text.

Each week, we’ll release new behind-the-scenes video content on YouTube and Instagram: early drafts, voice selection, raw reactions, and the creative sparks in between. Alongside the video, we’ll share a weekly companion blog right here on Spoken.

This is a live case study in what’s possible when authors become architects and take creative control from start to finish — writing, narrating, and publishing without barriers.

We’re building something different — and you’re invited to be part of it.
