    It's also a really fun recording to listen to!

I agree. My main gripe with the reading is that it doesn't sound like a native speaker (obviously) but I wonder if it might have been better to get a speaker of a language with similar tones/syllables to do it. Lithuanian perhaps.

This sound like someone with a really strong British accent reading something in French, if that makes sense.

EDIT - I see others making the same point in the SoundCloud comments.
