Have just finished listening to ‘The Road Home’ by Rose Tremain, narrated by Steven Pacey. I have listened to literally 100’s of audio books over the years, but have never felt inspired to comment on the narrator. I really just wanted to say how much Steven Pacey brought this story alive – I felt I actually WAS the hero. In particular I was amazed at how seamlessly and convincingly Mr Pacey slipped between the voices and accents of the many different characters. In fact I only noticed this about three quarters of the way through because I was so lost in the world of the people so vividly depicted. Can’t imagine how narrating could get better than this.
Hi Simon,
Steven’s body of work on audio is enormous! We are perennially short on resources here at the website, so we made a descision to start the audiobook list with the titles available on audio download. We’ll add Nick Hornby and the plethora of other titles in time.
Thanks for adding your praise for “The First Law” series … we certainly agree here!
I had already come across Steven in his co-reading of Nick Hornby’s ‘A Long Way Down’ (which I couldn’t see listed on this site!) which was a good performance, especially since half the time he was reading an American character. I am now nearing the end of ‘The Blade Itself’, my second, and most definitely not the last time I’m sure, experience of Steven’s work, and I’m absolutely in awe of his talents. His ability to interpret dialogue, together with his obvious acting talent, and not to mention his masterful switching of dialects, has given me one of the most enjoyable audibook experiences I have ever had. It is commonly thought that any half decent actor can read an audiobook, but in my humble experience, in order to be a good audiobook reader, there has to be a certain subtlety, knowing how to balance all the characters. Stage and screen actors generally only have to play one character, (unless you happen to be Alec Guiness!) and to do this, you may have to try to get inside the head of that character. An audiobook reader has to try to interpret all the characters, and somehow make them all balance. The trap many famous actors who turn their had to audibooks, fall in to, is to constantly over act, which can become tiresome in a 10 – 30 hour novel. Steven gets the balance absolutely right. Please read some more Fantasy fiction Steven…smiles
