> Can any English speaker remember the name of the interpreter of their favourite audiobook?
Loads of audiobooks of bestsellers in English are narrated by big-name actors. Often ones who also do a lot of theatre and bring that dramatic flair to their readings. Look at the Chronicles of Narnia, for instance: its narrators are Kenneth Branagh, Alex Jennings, Michael York, Lynn Redgrave, Derek Jacobi, Jeremy Northam and Patrick Stewart, all known from stage and screen for their powerful voices.
- abruzzi 6y agoEven the ones that aren't are frequently well know. I haven't consumed audiobooks since before Amazon bought Audible, but my father and his wife consume them avidly, and they know the names of their favorite readers, and will frequently listen to books by their favorite readers where they don't know the author at all, just because they like the reader.
