My answer:
When I read, characters actually have their own voices in my head. They sound a particular way, female voice, male voice, child voice, etc. Sometimes they have accents too, which I guess is sort of odd… but that’s just how I read them.
This makes listening to audiobooks really hard, because if there’s one voice it annoys me, if there’s only two voices it’s not enough, and it can’t really have a different voice for each character or at least I never ran into an audiobook like that. It can’t be feigned voice either, I can tell when the same person tries to sound like someone else unless they’re really, really good at making other voices but their own.
Rant, sorry… 😀

Ranting is good! I ranted in my video. Oh…and accents aren’t odd. I do them all the time. Makes the characters unique. 🙂 LOVE the question.
It was fun thinking about it, right? 😀 Thanks.
I don’t hear voices. 🙂 🙂

answer
Have you listened to the radio theater version of The Magician’s Nephew? It’s fabulous! And the audio for The Golden Compass is great if I remember…. and my all time favorite audiobook is The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. It’s just fabulous. When a book is in first person it makes one narrator a whole lot easier, because I imagine it as the character telling me about what happened, so they are really getting into telling me the story instead of being bad at voices. 🙂
I love this week’s question! It’s so thought provoking. Now following =)
I like your answer plus sometimes having a good rant is exactly what your blog is there for! Also I like your manner of hosting and encouraging people to read around each others blog – i will certainly be checking out some of the fabulous people who linked up 😀
