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

    I loved the first few Magic 2.0 books that came out.

    When it starts, the narrator (Luke Daniels) says “performed by…” and my first thought was jerk off motion.

    Ten minutes into the book, and yeah, it’s a performance! Not just making his voice high pitched for females, but some characters sound like they are being read by an actual VO artist.

    Edit to add name.

      I used to be bad at listening to audiobooks. ADHD brain would go way off for unknown amounts of time without realizing I wasn’t listening.

      Then in 2017 I had eye surgery and decided audiobooks were the best form of media consumption, so I practiced focusing on them. Magic 2.0 was the series that clicked for me. Now I listen to dozens of audiobooks each year. I’ve finished 55 so far in 2024.

      So yeah, Luke Daniels will forever be a favorite of mine! Though he only has a handful of truly unique voices so you’ll start hearing familiar characters in the wrong series sometimes, lol.
