I had a narrator recently pronounce the word hyperbole as... hyper-bowl - - ARGH!

A couple of years ago I ran across a narrator who pronounced the female French character, Francoise, as (male) Fran-swah, not realizing there's a difference. I actually managed to bring it up with her, receiving a defensive reply if that it was up to the producer to query it.

I'm not a fan of Emily Woo Zeller, who seems to get jobs based on her speaking Chinese.
