<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have not had this come up but it may and I wondered how some of you may have handled this? How does one decide if a narrator has too thick of an accent to be effective as a reader? I do not want to accused of discrimination in regards
to the individuals I select, but on the other side I have a patron population that may not be able to follow a narrator with an accent, especially a foreign one. Any suggestions? Ideas for handling this issue?<o:p></o:p></p>
