One of the challenges for audiobook narrators is ensuring that each character sounds distinct, especially in stories with multiple speaking roles. To avoid confusion and keep listeners engaged, narrators need to create clear contrast between characters.
- Distinct Voice Choices for Major and Minor Characters
For major characters, the narrator might invest more time in developing a unique voice that stands out, using a signature tone, rhythm, and accent. For minor characters, however, the voice might be simpler or more understated, making it clear that these characters aren’t the focus of the story, but still adding depth to the world the narrator is creating.
For example, in a fantasy audiobook, the protagonist might have a bold, confident voice, while the supporting characters like a humble farmer or wise old wizard might have voices that reflect their age or occupation, adding layers of realism to the story without overshadowing the main character.
- Creating Emotional Contrast
A good narrator will also use voice changes to highlight emotional contrast between characters. For example, a cheerful character might speak with enthusiasm and lightness, while a melancholic character might have a more somber tone, slower pace, or quieter voice. By contrasting these emotional differences, the narrator allows the listener to immediately recognize the emotional state of a character, making the story feel more dynamic.
