Xe Sands, a Voice I Really Like

I've been listening to Euphoria on Audible books, and I liked the female reader enough to look up her name, which sounded like X-E Zanze.  It turned out to be Xe Sands--information much easier to find on the Audible website than are the translators of their books.  (My students once had a problem with Kindred because when I asked who was narrating the story, they heard on the recorded version that it was "narrated by"...I meant who was telling the story in the written form.  I wish Audible would say "Read by...")

Anyway, what I like about Xe Sands' voice is the natural, creamy quality that catches in a really lovely way.  I'd like to know how she would describe her own voice.  I'll bet she's gotten a lot of compliments on it.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
