I’ve read parts of Martin the Warrior to my 8 year old cousin before, doing all the voices and performing. It works -really- well with Jacques work, both because his work is clearly oriented towards a much younger audience and because much of the different accents and voices are spelled out phonetically, which makes it easy to adopt a different voice for each character or “race”.

I’ve also read Macbeth as a cockney in one of my classes in high school, which was way fun.

Believe me, you’re both better off. I had many a past gf willing to do crazy voices at the drop of a hat, but it never worked out well.

>>They get bummed out when my wife reads to them because she doesn’t do all the crazy voices and stuff.

My wife has the same problem when she tries to read to our daughter.
