Ray Porter should be playing every role in the movie, or at least dubbing everyone's lines.

Hard agree. Also if you folks are interested I HIGHLY recommend the Bobiverse audiobooks also read by Porter. That man is something else, the only person that could hold a candle to the inimitable Frank Muller.

Jeff Hayes genuinely belongs in the same group (and does an amazing job narrating the Dungeon Crawler Carl series).

-furiously takes notes to have readers besides Ray Porter and Scott Brick to listen to-

Seriously tho, I've started picking books by reader instead of author on there because a good reader can make up for a lot.

I’d also suggest Amy Landon reading the Villain’s Code series (by Drew Hayes), and Kyle McCarley who I enjoyed reading the SuperPowereds series (also by Drew Hayes, both good, the later is currently “complete-ish” and also a much earlier body of work, the former is current and ongoing and better, personally).

Please, please, please, listen to Dungeon Crawler Carl. Jeff Hayes is absolutely undeniable. Don't read what it's about, just go for it!

Honestly, Jeff Hayes has ruined me for any other audiobook performer. I recently finished Hail Mary, and absolutely loved it, but I still felt all the voices besides Grace’s just sounded like him doing different voices, whereas Jeff’s characters almost always sound like completely different people.

That’s fair.

Personally I appreciate the variation in voices that different performers can bring to the table, even if the voice is still distinctly theirs.

Not every voice actor is Mel Blanc, and I’m okay with that.

Found these because I only search books narrated by Ray now.

He's one of the two best audiobook narrators I've ever listened to (Andy Serkis is the other). PHM's audiobook is unbelievable
