So I just finished listening to the Audio Enders Game and was delighted to listen to OSC at the end talk about the process of writing EG. I love the story about his brother Bill and the stubborness that in part became Ender's stubborness when he became an Army leader at Battle school.
Any way, to my main question. I went back and listened to parts again, since OSC said he did a voice part in EG and I could not figure out who he voiced. Does anyone have a clue which voice in the audio book was Cards?
I thought it would obviously be Graff or Anderson but neither sounds like OSC.

I do the very bad Indian-accent part of Chamrajnagar. I thought I was good at the time. I wish they'd played it back to me - i could have done it better with a little feedback.

Wow, I would have never guessed that you did Chamrajnagar. I did greatly appreciate the discussion at the end, but then I could always handle listening to you speak for several hours about this, that and everything.
Thanks for the information OSC!

What?? That was you? You're kidding. Seriously, you're yanking our collective chain. I have listened to Ender's Game at least fifteen times and that would have been the last character I would have suspected.
Dang. Good job, dude.

Yeah, I was wondering after listening, and after hearing is a second time I thought it was Anderson; but on another note, why wouldn't they have played it back for you?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING HIM IRISH!!!!
Sorry- I loved the recording anyway.

I have all of the Ender/Shadow Books on Audio. Mr. Card I would never have guessed you did Admiral Chamrajnagar. By the way Mr. Card I just wish to thank you (or your publisher) for allowing Audible.com to carry your books. I would never have discovered your writing otherwise. Given my profession I have little time to read.
I recently finished Children of the mind and heard your Afterword. I will await that book with anticipation. I think it might be neat to have Bean Helping his old friend again. Gotta love time dilation...

Me too! He totally sounded Irish.

I listen to all the audio books about once a year. I find the audiobook version especially of the Ender series (SotD, Xenocide, CoTM) to be incredibly powerful stuff. There is a moment in Xenocide, where OSC handles the naration himself, when Greggo whips up the mob..
But the entire handling of OSC's books is genious, and the people who handle his audiobooks should be commended. Some of the best stuff. I've sent out give certificates to Audible with money so people could pick them up. That's how good I think they are.

Totally. Assuming I ever get a book published, I hope it's picked up by Audible for the audio version. They really know how to do it right.
