minus-squarejuliankennedy23@alien.topBtoBooks•Sure we all hate typos, but have you ever had a narrator mispronounce a word in audiobook format?linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI find one in almost every Audiobook. I am currently listening to Ready Player One read by Will Wheaton and he massacres the formal Name Richard. It only comes up once. He says Ric Hard maybe. throwing a hard C and an extra syllable in there. The word penguin appears twice in Fathomless on pages 324 and 331. Narrator Sean Mangan handles the word like a pro. Megalodon, on the other hand, appears 85 times. This is a piece of bad luck for Sean Mangan because he has no more an idea how to say megalodon than Benedict Cumberbatch has saying penguin. To Shaun’s slight defense, at least he is phonetically sounding out megalodon, as opposed to Cumberbatch’s penwings and penlings. linkfedilink
