Is there one in particular that springs to your mind? So it's not, like, "Oh, they shouldn't have done this." It's a, "Oh, here is how he interpreted it. I really like how this different art form goes. It's like getting cover art that is a different art form. You know, every time I listen to an audiobook, there are certain interpretations that are different. On the subject of audiobooks, was there ever one you listened to and heard something that was read really differently than the way you imagined? Men doing women's voices in books, and women doing men's voices as readers, a lot of them are like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. It is Wil Wheaton but I- I do like Graphic Audio because they use women for women's parts, men for men's parts, which is really helpful. But I actually love straight reads, like I like Wil Wheaton's reading, where there's very minimal voices. I'm glad- I mean I want to sell as many of them as we can because there are some people who just love them. ![]() I, personally, love that they are available but I find them kind of distracting when I'm listening to them. If I may, how do you feel about Graphic Audio? Which is why I asked for him on my books. It is Michael Kramer, who did the Wheel of Time books. And that's dangerous.ĭo you have a favorite narrator that you. I don't listen to them for long because I will find myself wanting to change things. I do think Michael did a fantastic job.ĭo you ever listen to your own audiobooks? So it's already a challenge in that respect. So you can have a character who kind of has a light Cockney accent or something like that, but it's not our world so it can't exactly mimic that accent. I intentionally used themes that make it an Earth parallel, which is different from my other worlds. I'm writing in a world that isn't our world, but the Mistborn world is a bit of an Earth analogue. ![]() So while I was writing the book, I was thinking in the back of my mind, "I really hope that poor Michael can pull this off." It was a lot of fun to write Wayne's accents. ![]() The thing is, I'm not good with talking in accents myself-I can hear them in my head, but I'm atrocious at trying to do them. Did you have a sense when writing the book that these could be challenging-and rewarding-scenes when read? Wayne's ability to mimic and create accents is used to great effect in the book, and Michael Kramer really shines in bringing these accents to life in the audiobook.
