S/O audio books - question

[secretlyevil]

I was talking with a co worker and I was surprised to learn a lot of audio books (IHE) aren't narrated by multiple people. I've only started but the two I have listened to are by multiple voice actors. Those with more experience, what's your take?

I find that they're rarely done by multiple narrators. I do love ensemble casts though. It adds so much more, I think.

Letters from Skye does a great job with it!

Hmm, I didn't know there were multi-narrated audio books, so obviously all the audio books I've listened to are single narrators

Most often, they are single narrators who make a concerted effort to utilize different voices to distinguish characters.

I don't think I've ever listened to an audiobook with multiple narrators.

Apparently I need to listen to more audio books.

The vampire academy spinoff had multiple narrators.

I would say most books only have a single narrator but sometimes if the book switches between a few characters' points of view, they'll have multiple narrators.

Single narrator was by far the majority in the early books-on-tape days, but I feel there's been a noticeable increase in 2-person narrations in the last 5 years or so. I'm curious whether that correlates to an increase in 2-POV storytelling.

I listen to tons of audio books, and it's definitely more single narrators. I really like multiple narrators, but it depends on the story I guess.
