Fourteen Voices?

I have found that the best time to record male voices for the book is early morning. As I was struggling with the voice for a character named Hrim, it struck me that there are 7 no, 8 male voices in the book. Some of them belong to the same character but it changes. In contrast, there are "only" five female voices...six if you again count changes to voices. Like Tetta, she has one voice with an Indian clip and another that is totally USA countryfied. So there's 14 characters in one book...what was I thinking? Obviously not about recording it some day. A few friends offered to be the voices for me, but I have been having fun (albeit slow started) getting these voices to contrast enough to let the listener slip into them. I have a log history of reading books aloud. The only audiobook I've ever listened to is A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. Fisher Stevens is the narrator and during that text he produces hellish she-demons and little girls in an over the top humorous way that compensates for the fact his voice sounds nothing like a little girl's. I don't suppose anyone really knows what a male elephant is supposed to sound like when he's thinking, so I hope however it works out will be satisfactory enough. If you're just tuning in, catch up on the Gold Lame' link and listen to the audio book sample.
