    Do audio book readers usually make up voices for each of the characters? Do you

    I haven't listened to many. One was read by Meryl Streep, and two others by actor Michael Beck (both John Grisham novels). Each of them acted a little in voicing dialogue, but no more than an enthusiastic reader should. They raised or lowered their voices' pitches, and Beck added a thickened...
