To confirm I'll be returning from holiday next week and still very much welcome speech submissions to tiktokspeeches@gmail.com. Please note that a LOT of submissions are only providing me with the title of a book or source, when really I'd need a copy to the extract OR at the very least a video/audio file of it to transcribe.... as I don't own all (or indeed most) of the sources that I draw upon. This is especially true with any 40k content.
Anyway - thanks for your patience and see you next week!

2025 is my first full year of recording audiobooks. Here's a look at some of the titles completed and underway so far. I also wrapped my fourth project with the Black Library at the end of last year but am still waiting on a release date for it.
More content - including extra compilations - resuming from next week. But right now, I'm afraid I have to focus on the work. Keep those speech suggestions coming at tiktokspeeches@gmail.com - just remember to send the actual speech along with it if possible.
Thank you as ever for your continued support and THANK YOU for 100k!

Firstly - THANK YOU for all the support. I'm sorry I've not been able to respond to all the comments but Awards + Birthday weekend + work = tired Chris.
In other news....
As many of you may be aware, Youtube shorts are now extending to 3 minutes, but that means they might often end up on my main feed rather than in Shorts. So my feed might be a little sketchy for the next week or so. I will try to manually address this by posting FULL videos whenever possible. But I've got a new Black Library book to prep, so this may slide from time to time. Hopefully it sorts itself out soon, but thank you for your patience!

Just an update that I won't be posting for the next two weeks due to a much needed vacation!
Thanks as ever for all your support with my content and looking forward to sharing more stuff on my return.
Any suggestions for future speeches, remember to email as much information as possible to tiktokspeeches@gmail.com. And if there's anything new you want to see content-wise, do feel free to make suggestions!
Very best,

Hi everyone. A appreciate that a lot of you are frustrated by my speeches on here getting cut off because YT shorts are only a minute long. Because Shorts have such greater reach, I don't want to stop doing them, however.
I think I've worked out a way of publishing the full speeches to my main feed at the same time as I post the shorts. Is this something you'd like to see happen (so daily full speeches on my main feed), or do you think it might be overkill and are happy to wait for me to do genre specific compilations every month instead?
Let me know what you think in the poll below!
Happy Easter to all those that celebrate it - or at least have the day off.

Channel plans for 2024
Hi everyone,
Firstly, just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you ALL for the tremendous support on this channel. I started the year with just over 4k subscribers, so to have topped 50k still blows my tiny mind a bit. I'm so glad that the content I make has brought enjoyment, made people check out writing they might have missed or think about characters in a different way.
Next year, I want to do more. As a non-negotiable, my current output (5 shorts a week + one compilation video every few weeks) will continue here at NO extra cost. But if I were to justify making more content like longer reads, behind the scenes, ask me anything streams and even original work, then I need to look at ways of financially making it feasible. I'm indebted to my editor and thumbnail designer for helping me get this far, but I also need to keep paying them properly!
As a result, I'm looking at Youtube memberships, Patreon etc as potential options. As stated above, this would only be for content *extra* to what I'm putting out here for free already. So before I start making bigger plans, I just wanted to test the waters to see if there would be any appetite for that, and if so what platform you might prefer to offer your support via?
In short, Youtube memberships are probably more straight forward, but they take a 30% cut of everything whereas Patreon only take 7%. I might well end up making both options available if that's not too complicated but we shall see. Let me know which (if any) option might appeal to you.
And if that's not ever something you'd entertain, then I completely understand and no har no foul. I just thought it worth posing the question now so I can plan accordingly.
Wishing you all a happy Christmas and New Year, and I aim to have at least one more 40k compilation video out before Christmas.

Future of the channel.
My aim is to continue posting a variety of speeches as regularly as possible (normally 4-5 a week), from ALL forms of media. Suggestions always welcome at tiktokspeeches@gmail.com
When I reach a point where a compilation video is possible, I’ll post them (like the 40k and Anime ones).
Anything else you’d like to see here?
