I listened to my first audiobook last week and the voice was awful , especially when she was trying to mimic a southern accent . I’m like “ we don’t even sound like that” ??

I listened to Asheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon as my first audio book. The dude sounded like he was going thru puberty and when he would do a females voice in mid orgasm I almost died ….. seriously had to pull over the car my husband and I were laughing so hard!!!!

OMG! That would pretty much ruin the book for me?

Morgan Freeman, Mike Rowe, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, Julie Andrews, Reese Witherspoon, and Allison Janney would be some in my Top 10!

Orson Welles. Come to think of it, Welles would probably do some rewriting as he went along and improve the book.

It depends on the book, but some general standard bearers would be James Earl Jones, Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Julie Andrews, Helen Miren, Edward James Almos ?, and Colin Firth.

Kathryn Kellgren is AMAZING. Julie Andrews doing her autobiography for nine hours was superlative. Judi Dench and Stephen Fry doing Winnie-the-Pooh was just the best ever. If you get the chance, YouTube Benedict Cumberbatch doing Ode to a Nightmare. **Swoon**
