#ScribesAndMakers Sep 6: Have you ever listened to an audiobook where the reader had a good voice, but not the 'right' voice?
I listened to AMERICAN GODS* read by a man with a wonderfully resonant voice, but he did a weird falsetto thing for the female characters and, I swear, a bit of a Southern American accent for some reason? It was weird.
*Neil Gaiman is a piece of shit
