The only problem I can think of with that Uncle Wiggily one as a dramatic reading is that the OCR's of Archive's projects aren't proofread, so the text versions have lots and lots of errors. It'd be a royal pain to set up scripts for it.

Would it make any difference if someone read it for librivox as a strait one person read? (Probably not but it doesn't hurt to ask, right?)

BTW: After actualizing the UW voice from my mind's ear, I am so willing to do Uncle Wiggily voice again.

It makes absolutely no difference for a solo or regular group recording. But if someone wanted to make scripts out of the text for a dramatic reading, it'd be a pain in the rump. :P
