So Many Options

It goes without saying that a performance is one of the most important aspects of any audio experience. A talented performer can elevate your listening experience and transport you into another world. And whether you prefer stories performed by a single narrator or by a full cast with sound design, you’ll have a multitude of immersive performances to choose from. Though we all have our own personal listening styles, why not take some time to explore what else the world of audio has to offer? I think the following listens offer a great starting point for anyone looking to explore a new kind of performance. —Michael C., Audible Editor

Discover these four performance styles in Audible Escape:

Solo: a story performed by a single person.

Multi-cast: a story performed by a full cast of people, often featuring sound design. Narrators will each perform their own part, much like a movie or audio-drama.

Dual: a story performed by two people, switching off by chapter or section. Each narrator will perform all dialogue and action within their chapter or section.

Duet: a story performed by two people. It’s similar to dual narration, except that each performer reads the dialogue and action of their character across all chapters and sections. It's the happy medium between dual and multi-cast.

He has a great job, takes great care of his daughter and knows what he wants (😉)... I would give a separate 5 stars for the POV from the cats. They are hilarious. Need more of this.

    • "The A.I. Who Loved Me is different than the normal romance books I read, but when I saw it was by Alyssa Cole, I knew I wanted to pick it up... It was highly entertaining and narrated by a great multi-cast of performers, but primarily by Regina Hall, who did an incredible job. It was such a fun book to listen to, due to it being so fast-paced and gripping. Alyssa Cole is such a talented writer and truly can write in any genre. I hope there are more books based in this 'world' because I would love for some of these secondary characters to get their own book! I definitely recommend the experience of listening to this on Audible! It was fantastic, funny, romantic, and action-packed." —Christy B., Audible Listener

    • SOLO
    • "Oscar and Lucinda sheds light upon various facets of the human condition that often go ignored in contemporary literature... The book unravels slowly, yet each page adds to the richness of the story and all of its players. It blends the Dickensian themes of societal boundaries and the spirit's inner turmoil with the fantastical love and vibrant beauty so often associated with Latin American magical realism. It is a treasure that will play at your heart strings. If you're open to the ambling nature of the tale, you'll soon find yourself surprisingly, and totally, engulfed in the lives and intertwining fates of Oscar and Lucinda." —Luz O., Audible Listener

    • DUET
    • "I read this when it first came out and loved it... When I saw it was on Audible Escape with duet narration featuring Teddy Hamilton speaking Ivan’s 'lines' I was actually kind of nervous. This whole book is from Jasmine’s POV and I wasn’t sure (despite being a huge fan of Hamilton as a narrator) that it was going to work for me. It worked so well. Amazingly well. I loved it. I love the story even more in audio form. So, I’m bumping my story rating to 5 stars and giving Callie Dalton & Teddy Hamilton 5 as well." —Rellim, Audible Listener

    • "Wow, just wow! Each and every time I think that Mia Sheridan cannot possibly top her last (audio)book she goes and does just that. Her (audio)books are always a breath of fresh air... Savaged is a heartbreaking story that’s beautifully written and teaches us so much on cruelty, survival, trust, the audacity to forgive and ultimately risking the thing that one has craved but been deprived of most their life, love. Almost forgot narration. Christian Fox & Chelsea Hartfield did a really great job and I wouldn’t hesitate listening to any other audiobooks they’ve narrated." —Love2Listen, Audible Listener

I didn’t know whether I wanted to be his best friend, hug him, or shake him. But I know I didn’t want to stop listening to his story. The narration was also outstanding—absolutely perfect for this character and the others in the book. Highly recommend." —Julie, Audible Listener

I was expecting a frothy romp with maybe some poignant moments, but this book was windy like a river and took us into soul survival mode. This book may not be for the average reader... but, if you’ve traveled the world a bit, don’t mind an accent that isn’t yours... this book is the surprise for you." —Kafitana, Audible Listener

Now for the characters, Joe Arden's voice is so dang sexy, and Erin Mallon's voice is so smooth and sweet. They made these characters very believable, and I forgot this was a book. It felt as if I were spying on two people lives, and I forgot to bring popcorn. I am going to find my next book by Lauren Blakely as well as other titles with these narrators." —TishaMTV, Audible Listener
