On another thread there has been a discussion about whether or not authors who speak English as a second language should record audiofics. Understandably there are worries about accents and pronunciations. It occured to me that some native-English speakers might have the same kind of worries. (I mispronounced the word coiffure in a speech once, having only seen it in print before.)
So I started to wonder if there might not be a need for beta listeners for audio fics, a person willing to listen for pronunciation issues and timing in the same way BRs listen for grammar and style issues. What do you think?
