About audio books [View all]

Do you prefer listening to a man or a woman narrate? If the reader assumes characters, which do you think is more authentic: a man imitating a woman's voice, or a woman imitating a man's voice?

Just curious. I like listening to British men the most, but I'm listening to a woman with an Irish accent right now. I like mid-century radio shows featuring a cast with solid NYC accents. Really takes me back!
