Comments:Interview with LibriVox founder Hugh McGuire

Comments from feedback form - "I recently listened to Joyce's..."
I recently listened to Joyce's "Dubliners" over at LibriVox and all the readers were exceptional till I got to the final story which was read in such a manner that it took me many attempts to get through it. He seemed to be highly aware of the sound of his own voice which resulted in a precious quality for much of the phrasing that was entirely inappropriate. Wrong intonation which almost never changed from line to line until the final 1/3 of this chapter where he, surprisingly, seemed to transform into someone with feeling for the material.

I then tried to listen to "Ulysses" and, seeing that it was the same reader, groaned and jumped in to find myself throwing in the towel after the first few minutes for the same reasons stated above.

I am utterly amazed to have, just now, discovered that this reader, Hugh McGuire, is the founder of LibriVox.

I realize that LibriVox is free but my suggestion to Hugh is to attend only to the ins and outs of this great thing that you created and leave the reading to the people who have a grasp of it. &mdash;173.166.26.241 (talk) 16:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
