But in the end everything turned out all right so it was no big deal. Part of the issue with pronunciation was the English vs. American difference. Some of it came down to my intent, and in a couple of cases it was a matter of how to pronounce Spanish words like Calabasas and Ysidro. There was also the issue of artistic license, which affected how Allan pronounced "Lestrade" and other things. But it was a lot of fun and I would love to do it again.<br /><br />@Crystal, What a lovely thing to say! Thank you so much for your interest!<br /><br />@krystal jane, I'm so glad you like the way it sounds! I guess I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I'm sure it would have been fine with even a talented amateur but I so wanted it to be special. I'm just so lucky I was able to get Allan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040257130388682045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429089326602617796.post-69961930867219895402016-11-08T08:53:55.871-08:002016-11-08T08:53:55.871-08:00That is a lot of work!

I listened to recording yesterday though, and it does sound great. krystal janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115542477066959046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429089326602617796.post-11273583843580792302016-11-08T06:34:06.888-08:002016-11-08T06:34:06.888-08:00What an incredible journey!

Makes me so grateful I...Wow, that is a lot of work. Makes me so grateful I didn't have to go through the process like that. I did have to make a list of words and how to pronounce them, but I didn't have to record it. (And I'm fortunate the narrator of my books has nailed almost every single name the first try, especially since I had so many odd science fiction names.)Alex J.
