There’s an actor called Robert Glenister. I’ve never seen him in anything but he narrates the audio versions of all the Cormoran Strike novels by JK Rowling. He’s incredibly talented. These novels are 1,000-page doorstoppers with a large cast of characters each. Glenister makes every character sound distinct. He makes women sound female. JK Rowling loves regional accents, and he does every one. He switches between all the voices so easily and integrates all of the “side Irene with a scoff” or “Matt sighed” into how the characters speak.
An unbelievably talented actor. I’ve listened to a few audiobooks where a talentless actress murdered the story, and JK Rowling books are much more complicated. They’d be easy to mess up. Glenister, though, really brings them to life.
It’s very enjoyable to see people who are excellent at what they do.
