I was devastated once when an audiobook narrator pronounced a character's name differently than my mind had been saying it to me for years as I was reading the series.

"Seichan". My mind had been pronouncing her name "SAY chin". But the narrator pronounced it "say SHAWN". My heart just fell. How could this be? I had to abandon the audiobook and go back to reading the book myself. For my own sanity.
