Interesting channel...

I've always felt the beauty of reading is being able to imagine the story in your own mind.

Audiobooks offer a similar experience, especially when they have a talented narrator.

In my opinion, a great narrator is just as important as the casting in a movie.

Though different genres, for example, think of Jack Nicholson's performance in The Shining or the iconic voice of Darth Vader.

No, I agree. The narrator is very important. Just this week, I started listening to an audiobook of The Caste Of Otranto but the narration was kind of robotic, so I stopped listening.

I personally haven't watched The Shining or The Star Wars but I watch animes a lot, so I 100% agree that voice acting is just a different genre of acting.

I really like this!:) I've recently started listening to audiobooks, didn't expect it to be my thing, and I was so glad to be proven wrong:))
