MP3 AUDIO BOOKS - TO READ, OR NOT TO LISTEN
- I got hooked on audiobooks... - I love audio books... or do I really? - Tastes differ. I don�t like audio books. Neither do I like screen versions. I prefer my own imagination to envision personalities, and not the narrator's interpretation. I have a very different idea about the voice, accent and intonation of the characters. There is no excitement in audio books for me. Read more about audio books... Check out articles about audio books and mp3 players for audio books at our archive.

GOLDEN VOICES - WHOM TO LISTEN TO
It may not be very important to many, but some people pay great attention to the artistic skills of the narrator. Once, when we discussed films, my friend told me that he usually makes his choice by the actors. If his favorite actors are starring in a movie, he goes to see it or rents a DVD. The same might be true for audio books. There are performers whose voices are considered golden. Some readers look for the next book to listen by the name of the narrator. We've compiled a list of the most famous golden performers, their discographies and audio samples of their voices. Listen to the voice of George Guidal

The narrator with a thick Boston accent. Listeners say: haha, but, of course! i LISTENED to the nineteen eighty-four by george orwell narrated by frank muller in the spring of 2005; i remember all the scenes vividly and his emphatic narration, so emphatic in fact that you start to relive those scenes together with the storyteller; btw, it was a great listen
