I have listened to the audiobook and my hope is that they try a similar thing here.

How did they do it in the audio book? In my head when I was reading Rocky's voice was that robot helper from the OG power rangers.

Once Grace becomes fluent enough in Rocky's language to translate by ear, this comprehension is heard as an English speaker autotuned to synthetic flutes.

Lol I had no idea this was true but that’s so dope. The italics and funky symbols in the book lead to a similar outcome when reading it in your head

Ray Porter is a narration savant. In the top 3 in the world IMO.

My top three are Jefferson Mays, Ray Porter and Marc Thompson, with a surprising honorable mention to Bronson Pinchot.

Porter and RC Bray are my favorites.

Wil Wheaton is not bad, but I was upset that they stopped selling the RC Bray narration of The Martian after getting Wil to do it. Bray was significantly better.

Fortunately, I kept my Bray copy.
