The narrators have a way of bringing characters to life – it's a unique experience. Changing the tone of the sound on ListenBook Pro is a fun way to customize my listening experience. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
