Although I like the Scottish accent, I vote for option 1. it is clearer from the pronounciation, quieter more mysterious and easier to follow, keeps you captivated & focused on the story.
I like #2. Maybe a female for the girl parts? I’m listening to the Masters of the Shadowlands and I like how they switched to both a male and female narrator.
Okay, both are wonderful narrators, guess that’s why you’re asking for our opinions. LOL
Option 1 – has a deep, enriching voice – full bodied – It is very clear when he switches voices for each Berserker – I could identify – Daegan from Samuel. Since, I have listened to other books, I feel this is VERY important and he does it really well. And, as I said his narrator voice is rich, distinct and easily understood.
Option 2 is good but he is a little to high in his pitch to make it easy listening and it was harder to distinguish from character to character.
I love the Scot. Both readers are great, but the English accent just does not fit a beserker. I have already read this so the accent was not a problem for me, but may be one for many American listeners.
I like the Scottish accent of Option 2, but I’d have to go with Option 1. One has a more distinct, forceful voice; Two is too soft with little emotion. Also, you really need a female narrator for the female parts.
I like the second audio. It is easier on the ears. the first audio, the voice rumbles and if I loose concentration for the moment, I would have to rewind and listen again.
My first preference would be a male and a female narrator. If that’s not possible, I’d prefer a female narrator. Of these two,they’re about evenly tied. I think#2 has the deeper, fuller voice with more of a Scottish brogue. Number2 is more expressive, but his voice is a little high for my taste.
Definitely option 2. And a female voice for Brenna.
Number 1 has a good voice but he would put me to sleep after a while.
Stick with the Scot it comes closer to the feel of a berserker.
I agree with some replies that recommend to have a female narrator for the female parts. But if we can only choose between these two options then i choose #2. The real Scottish accent is sexy! :O)
I prefer #1. The voice is dark, mysterious and is clear to understand. They do go slower, but reading the story as I have I could see why they talked slower. It ties into the storyline.
#2 The voice does not match what I was thinking when I was reading the story. It’s missing that dark, mysterious aspect of the story.
While I really like both, I would have to go with option 2 for the simple fact that he has a real Scottish accent that lends to the authenticity of the book.
I liked option 2 the best. I think having a female to read with him is awesome. I have listened to several books with multiple voices and find them highly entertaining when done right.
Number two, the real Scot ;), sounded so sexy & how many if my own characters sound in my works. 🙂
I think Option 1 gets more gravelly and has a better voice for the berserkers.
Option 1
Option 2, hands down!

Option 2
A real scoutsman. Yeah

That is a great idea!
option 1
its easier to listen to and understand for those who don’t have English as a first language
I think both are great but prefer the sexond, oppss, I mean second. LOL
Option 1 is sexy-er. I

I prefer female narrator for female characters, otherwise it jars me right out of the story. Option 1 is clear speaking and appeal to more I think.
Option 2, there is something about option 1 that I would have a hard time listening to for a whole book
Open 2 sounds the best to me for a sensual story.
Option 1 sexy voice
#. 2 all the way

Number two option. Able to hear him soft voice smoothly. Nice deep voice and clear.

Option 2, love that voice.

Option 1. Sounds more sexy and rougher like I’d imagine a berserker would sound. HOT !!!

It has to be option 2, hands down, loved it. I think option 1 would grate on me after a while, he just didn’t seem as natural as Mr 2.
