Do they do anything particular with their voice or tone in order to enhance the story?

Merlin Sheldrake reading his Entangled Life is one I've listened to numerous times. Delightful, educating. Always uplifting.

His pace is a little slow, so I listen to him at 1.10 or 1.15 speed.

That said, the content carries better with his voice as it is his experiences he's written about. And he's a decent musician

Dungeon Crawler Carl - Matt Dinniman

Audio - Jeff Hays

www.soundbooththeater.com makes some great works. Its fun to read the series and then hear Jeff do an excellent job afterward.

Dungeon Crawler Carl, Jeff Hays is fucking amazing.

I'm going to be controversial.
I think the best audiobook is text to speech.
I prefer to not filter any stories through an other person. I want the raw data from the book, without any other feelings and impressions added to the original.
