She just had to email and call again today, wasting time again. It's always the same story.'Really sorry, that's it on for you now and it's all fixed for the future.' Except it isn't, it never is. I bought my wife a six month subscription Audible gift card for Christmas '22 and the first month was ok: got her first month's credit, but since that initial credit, no others have went on, and she's had to email and call customer service every month as it hasn't put on the credit that's due. There seem to be less and less people doing this and more and more hammy, over the top, cringe-worthy thespian-types butchering good books. I would think it would be a pleasure to read what you've written so that anyone can hear and enjoy. I find it hard to believe that all authors are given the choice. The author knows how they intended it to sound. I do not agree that actors are ever better than authors at reading their own books. Just ends up sounding like a pantomime dame which is rarely appropriate. No need to try and imitate a woman's voice. I could cope with his reading style if it wasn't for his imitation of female voices which is insulting and inappropriate. There is a male voice that is used frequently who is also very hammy. I used my one credit up on this book, I really want to listen to it, but I can't concentrate on what's being read because the gritty subject matter is so at odds with the narrator who would be better suited to Enid Blyton books. She calls SIAN O'Callaghan SHAUN O'Callaghan. She also pronounces the name of a murdered girl (actually murdered) wrong. I'm listening to a book at the moment that's written by a man but read by a woman with a very clipped, 1940s, fairly high pitched voice that I can't take seriously. There are some REALLY hammy readers on Audible.
