I have so far listened to three of these books, Trollslayer, Skavenslayer and Daemonslayer, and each of these has featured some impressive voice work, especially around the main characters.
#AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR SERIES#
I have recently enjoyed Jonathan Keeble’s work on the Trollslayer series by William King, set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. While Stephen Fry also did a version, I have only had the pleasure of listening to Dale’s version, and it is such an outstanding way to enjoy this iconic series. I had to include actor Jim Dale somewhere on this due to his outstanding work narrating the Harry Potter audiobooks. I have listened to several great books narrated by Brick, including Into the Fire and Prodigal Son by Gregg Hurwitz, and The Malta Exchange, The Warsaw Protocol and The Kaiser’s Webby Steve Berry, all of which were fantastic and compelling listens. Scott Brick is the narrator of two awesome thriller series, the Orphan X and Cotton Malone books. Scott Brick – Orphan X and Cotton Malone series The end result turned out pretty good, and I liked the cool cross section of genres and narrators that this list contained. I ended up pulling together a descent list, which I was able to cull down into a good top ten list with a generous honourable mentions section. While there were a couple of great narrators I have enjoyed once or twice, my list tended to focus on those narrators whose work I have heard multiple time. To pull this list together, I sifted through the best narrators I have listened and tried to work out who I enjoy listening to the most. As a result, I thought it was about time that I highlighted my absolute favourites of these on this blog. Some of these narrators have been so good that I have followed them to other books and series, as I know that I am going to have a great time with whatever they are reading. Over the years I have found myself becoming a big fan of several talented narrators due to their ability to make every story they read incredibly awesome with their impressive range. A great narrator can turn a good book into something truly magical, while boring narrators can ruin even the most compelling stories. One of the main reasons why I have so much fun with audiobooks is because a lot of them have outstanding narrators who excel at telling the story or bringing the characters to life. As such, I have had the great pleasure of listening to some outstanding audiobook in the last few years, and I honestly find myself enjoying some books a hell of a lot more in this format. While I eventually grew out of these series (and cassette tapes), my appreciation for audiobooks has remained, and I have become even more fond of them in recent years, due to how easy and accessible audiobooks are these days. I have long loved audiobooks, going all the way back to my childhood when I had Goosebumps books on cassette tape. Readers of my blog will know that I have a particular love for the audiobook format, and it is one of my favourite ways to enjoy a good book (I’m listening to one now as I put this post up).
#AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR CRACK#
In particular, I am going to have a crack at listing my favourite top ten audiobook narrators. So, I thought I would take this opportunity to talk about something I am very passionate about, audiobooks. For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, participants have been given a freebie topic, meaning that they can do a list on whatever interests them. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that currently resides at The Artsy Reader Girl and features bloggers sharing lists on various book topics.
