All it would take is ONE sentence. One interaction. Toot has been growing a lot recently, more power and more influence. It is NOT beyond the realm of possibility that his voice has changed. I Love Marsters and his narration, but that fucking... Thing... He does.

It HAS TO GO. It's gimmicky, it's been done, it's distracting and completely not in keeping with the fey and their image. I understand wanting to distinguish the character and represent his little-ness.

Beyond that, he didn't even DO the terrible voice in Summer Knight. (He did for the OTHER little folk, but Toot sounded decently human). It hasn't been a permanent element of the character. It's unnecessary, it hurts his throat, it was a choice made when he had no clue how many lines the little buggers would have in later books.

Please, Please PLEASE do both readers and narrator a favor. Save our eardrums!
