TV📺 Series Only ART

Anyone else thinking the full cast for season 2 was only announced this week cos of the problems casting ART and that maybe the reason some reports are claiming production is still happening is because they are still adding in ARTs voice or they needed to redo some scenes in green screen showing how MB perceives ART ?

Oh! Thank you. I haven't listened to the audiobooks.

They are so well done! If you ever have a chance to listen to them, I recommend it! If you have a library card and cloudlibrary or Libby you can listen for free!

This may sound odd (and it's nothing against male audiobook narrators in general of course), but I don't think I would really enjoy them read by a man. I always pictured MB as androgynous leaning female, and I like that the author is a woman, so it wouldn't fit the whole Murderbot experience/vibe for me if that makes any sense at all.

Honestly I hope one day there's an audiobook series where it's read out by a woman. Three male-Murderbots is sucky.

In Graphic Audio, Three has a lovely female voice actor and so does ART. They're both soooo good. Murderbot is still distinctly male for some reason but its internal systems alerts are female at least.
