    I don’t mind different voices, but books with sound effects are hot trash. If I want to watch a movie, if watch a movie. Let my mind do the work.

      I disagree. I loved listening to old time radio programs that added ambiance with creaking doors and wind to set scenes

        Soundbooth Theater does “audio immersion” versions of some books and they are amazing. It is genre fiction, but if it they are your genres then you should check them out! (Horror, fantasy, sci-fi, etc)

      Amen. If there are sound effects then I’m not interested. All of those audio presentations or whatever they are called sound so forced and over-acted.

      If you haven’t listened to Project Hail Mary then I can understand your perspective. PHM works better as an audiobook than a regular book because of the “effects” in my opinion.

        I’ve listened to that twice read by Ray Porter, who is my favorite audiobook narrator. I don’t remember there being any special effects in the book whatsoever on audible. The dude is just a master of different voices One of the reasons why he was so incredible in bobiverse.

          Trying to avoid spoilers for others, but think about the other main character’s voice when they first meet.
