David Attenborough's fans concerned as they notice change in his voice while watching BBC series 'Asia'

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: David Attenborough has captivated audiences with his soothing voice for decades, but in his latest offering, 'Asia', viewers noticed something unusual. 

BBC’s seven-part documentary series, 'Asia', which premiered on Sunday, November 3, explores the vast wildlife and landscapes of the world's largest continent.

Yet, instead of only marveling at the show's content, fans found themselves distracted by what they perceived as a subtle but strange change in the 98-year-old's iconic narration, as per Daily Mail.

Fans feel David Attenborough's narration in BBC's 'Asia' sounds unusually altered

While David Attenborough’s voice has become a beloved feature of his documentaries, some fans felt that his narration in 'Asia' sounded unusually altered.

One remarked, "Anyone else confused as to why the voice of the amazing David Attenborough sounds different? It’s like it’s been auto tuned?" Another said, "Yes! We are. It’s not quite right, is it? It’s definitely been tweaked in some way. To begin with I thought it was someone else narrating."

"David Attenborough now sounds like a bad David Attenborough impersonator - slightly off, like the new faux-Sallis Wallace. Perhaps he's AI now?" shared a person. 

An individual wrote, "Hi @BBCEarth Not sure having David Attenborough sound like a chipmunk is a fine example of post-production. What a shame. #bbcearthasia."

"What have they done to his voice?!" asked a viewer. 

The series, which took over four years to complete, was a monumental effort by the BBC and its team of documentary filmmakers.

Last week, Attenborough shared a preview of 'Asia', revealing that the production crew traveled extensively across the continent, covering territories as diverse as the cold reaches of Russia and the tropical forests of Southeast Asia.

From Baikal seals in the north to pangolins in Singapore, the series captures Asia's incredible biodiversity.

One of the series' most impressive feats was the filming of rare animals in their natural habitats.

The Gobi bear, for instance, was captured on camera for the first time. With only 32 left, this bear species is among the rarest in the world, making the footage a groundbreaking achievement.

Another milestone came with the documentation of the Javan green magpie, one of the rarest bird species, whose distinct bright green feathers contrast against its jungle surroundings.

Some of the series’ most challenging scenes were filmed in Sri Lanka, where the crew attempted to capture footage of a wild elephant scavenging through a bus window, seeking food.

After more than 50 attempts, they finally succeeded, showcasing the patience and dedication required for such a series. In Nepal, drone technology allowed the filmmakers to record intimate moments of tigers mating and hunting.

The drones provided a new perspective on these elusive big cats, enabling the crew to gather footage that would have been impossible to achieve with traditional cameras.

While filming 'Asia', Attenborough turned 98, yet his dedication and energy continue to impress both fans and colleagues.

Since his BBC debut in 1952, Attenborough has witnessed and documented countless natural wonders, becoming a trusted voice for viewers worldwide.

Series producer Matthew Wright recalled celebrating his birthday with the crew, though he remained characteristically focused on the task at hand.

Wright shared, "We said, ‘Happy Birthday.’ He was business-like. He said, ‘Let’s move on. What are we doing next?'"
