Do they do anything particular with their voice or tone in order to enhance the story?

Simon Vance is my personal favourite narrator. The Dune audiobooks have a cast of narrators/actors but I wish Simon voiced the whole books, he's amazing. The way he intonates adds so much to the text, but doesn't ever get annoying. His acting for the characters is great too.

He also narrated Scaramouche and I genuinely can't tell if I liked the book or his narration of the book.
