I even listened to one done by THE LEGENDARY SUPER SPY CHRISTOPHER LEE, and it was pretty eyerolling. Feeling the own rhythm on your tongue is so much better, it's orgasmic

I get what you mean about preferring your own delivery, though, and the offerings seem especially bad with a 'horror' writer. They're trying too hard to be either sCaRy or british.
For plays I find whispering out loud to be better than silent reading

I understand better if its a voice + accent similar to my own. But I'm not sure what exactly that voice is because when I actually talk it never comes out exactly the way it sounds in my head. Could it be I have an inflated self-image which physical reality can never live up to? It would explain my dark triad scores.
