The many voices of Jim Dale

The many voices of Jim Dale

To Audible listeners, Jim Dale is probably best known as the beloved voice of the Harry Potter audiobooks. Over the course of the series, Jim voiced hundreds of J.K. Rowling’s characters, and even once held a Guinness World Record for the number of voices he created for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (147). As a narrator, he has lent his voice to dozens of books in a variety of genres. He has won two Grammy Awards, seven Grammy nominations, ten Audie Awards, four Narrator of the Year Awards, and was the first inductee into the American Audio Hall of Fame. With all those accolades, it’s no secret that Jim Dale is talented — but the best way to understand Dale’s appeal is to hear one of his amazing performances for yourself. Here are some of our favorites:

The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart
The Night Circus
Bikeman
Return to the Hundred Acre Wood
Peter and the Starcatchers
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Book 1
