    Interview: Feb 20th, 2015

    Question

    Do you ever listen to your own audiobooks?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I do on occasion. I don’t listen to them for long because I will find myself wanting to change things. And that’s dangerous…

    Interview: Feb 20th, 2015

    Question

    Do you have a favorite narrator that you--Of your books and of other books.

    Brandon Sanderson

    It is Michael Kramer, who did the Wheel of Time books. Which is why I asked for him on my books.

    If I may, how do you feel about Graphic Audio?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I, personally, love that they are available but I find them kind of distracting when I’m listening to them. Yeah. I’m glad-- I mean I want to sell as many of them as we can because there are some people who just love them. But I actually love straight reads, like I like Wil Wheaton’s reading, where there’s very minimal voices.

    Argent

    Well that’s because it’s Wil Wheaton.

    Brandon Sanderson

    It is Wil Wheaton but I-- I do like Graphic Audio because they use women for women’s parts, men for men’s parts, which is really helpful. Men doing women’s voices in books, and Women doing men’s voices as readers, a lot of them are like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

    Interview: Oct 9th, 2015

    Question

    Is it weird having Michael Kramer doing your books as well as the Wheel of Time books?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes, so weird. The weirdest thing is that he did a signing with me, and then he did the reading, and then all of the voices of these voices come out of his mouth and I’m like – you're all of them!

    Interview: Feb 25th, 2016

    Question

    When you're writing, do you hear Michael Kramer in your head?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I do now. I asked for him by name because I liked how he and Kate Reading did the Wheel of Time books. Yeah, I get a big kick out of doing Wayne's voices and trying to figure out how Michael's going to try to read those.

    Interview: Feb 25th, 2016

    Question

    How involved are you in that [audiobook] process?

    Brandon Sanderson

    So, I pick the reader, and then I read all the names in the book and send them an audio file of that, and they listen to it and they sometimes follow what I say.

    Interview: Feb 24th, 2016

    Question

    The person in front of me asked if Brandon invents ridiculous accents for Wayne just to see if Michael Kramer can do different voices.

    Brandon Sanderson

    No, it's not just to torture Michael, though Brandon really enjoys hearing how Michael reads the different voices and he's amazed at the various accents, and he listens to all of the audiobooks at least once... However, Brandon will say he has one voice planned for Wayne that does make him giggle when he thinks of Michael Kramer having to do it. He's going to LAFO (Listen and Find Out) which voice it is, but we'll all likely be rolling around in tears when it happens.

    Interview: Oct 14th, 2015

    Question

    I've been listening to the audiobooks of Stormlight. There are some really great character voices. Have you told him how to do the characters?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I have not told him how to do characters. I leave that to him. I give him pronunciations.

    Question

    So the Australian Lopen is all him.

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yeah, the Australian is all him. Which is weird, because they're, they're based off of Hispanic cultures, so, hearing the Australian - but at the same time, they're not Hispanic, because there are no Hispanics on Roshar, so an Australian's probably just as accurate as anything else. But yes, I intended the Herdazians to have a Hispanic flair to them.
