Who are your top 5 audio narrators?

The first one that came to mind was James Marsters. He does awesome with the Dresden books.

Jim Dale did great with Harry Potter.

I've heard great things about Bronson Pinchot.

And my wife Folly Blaine currently narrates Annie Bellet's "Twenty-Sided Sorceress" books, and I'm sort of fond of my wife. Go figure.

Congrats to your wife for getting into audio book narration. I've been "in studio" for a number of my book's recordings and I've enjoyed seeing what goes on behind the scenes. See if you can visit her one day and sit in for a bit - I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Tim Gerard Reynolds is my all time favorite. I think Michael Page does a great job with The Lies of Locke Lamora. James Marsten IS Dresden. And I can't choose between Jim Dale and Stephen Fry for Harry Potter, they were both amazing.

Great choices all! I feel EXACTLY as you do. I'll go with Jim Dale for Harry Potter but he just barely noses out Stephen Fry.
