S18E21 - The Decision - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 of The Decision, part 18 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series.

A long-awaited update! Part of the reason I took so long is because I went back and forth and back and forth on how the Leerans should sound in this chapter. See, in their previous appearance back in book 15, the Leeran used vocal sounds combined with a different type of mental voice than thought-speak (distinguished by underlined text rather than bracketed). In this chapter, and in a couple other places, it's the regular bracketed thought-speak. I thought at first maybe it was a typo, and it's meant to be the other kind of mental dialogue? But nope, there's plenty of underelined dialogue, too. So then I wondered if the thoughtspeak was more just the Yeerks' voices, as only they use it. If so, should they have a slightly different voice than their Leeran host? I recorded a couple of different options; but in the end, I went with the Leeran inflections I used before, combined with my standard thought-speak effect. Hopefully, that's ok!

(Also, life has been really busy this week! Shout-out to my parents' elderly dog, whom I watched while they were out of town, and who regularly woke me up in the middle of the night to go outside, even when she didn't need to pee, and thus making me tired all over again. -_- )

Thanks for listening!
