SchemingDemon Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Fangirl on Reading today that Neil himself is narrating really makes me want to purchase the audiobook when it's released. I could listen to him talk for hours. I think he has such a sexy, suave voice He could honestly do radio if he wanted to. Anyone else happy to hear he's narrating?

HowItIs Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Oh, hell yeah! He has a lovely baritone that is well-suited to reading for audio books. He did samples of a few of his books on his website and I really enjoyed listening. Yes, I will get the Hardcover and the audio book, both.

losingit2k Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 That's going to be awesome. This is turning out to be the biggest project RUSH/ Neil has ever done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well, being that an audiobook is going to be produced at all, it's neat that Neil is narrating. But I don't care, personally. If I bother with the book, I'll read it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'm all for listening to Neil's voice for the book... As I once read in the comments of a YouTube video of one of Neil's interviews: "I could listen to him read the phone book..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shredder2 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This is just too epic to know... I've always wanted Neil to narrate for an audiobook. Now this makes the CA novel a MUST BUY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Personally, I was hoping Alex would narrate, but in a high-pitched falsetto. But yeah, Neil does have a pretty suave voice. The man could definitely do radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 QUOTE (drbirdsong @ May 30 2012, 01:16 AM) I think it's great. Neil does very good voice overs on his drumming DVDs. How is the DVD, "Neil Peart Taking Center Stage: Lifetime of Live Performances"? It looks very interesting. http://c3.cduniverse.ws/CDUCoverArt/video/71/8563671.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 As long as he understands that there's come acting involved, it could work out well. There's more to reading a work of fiction than just saying the words on the page. The best audiobooks have almost cinematic qualities to them.

djwilbur Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 i will get this audiobook...I have a feeling he wouldn't have read it if he wasnt up to the task of doing it right... this is a really nice extra cool piece to the CA release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I've never bought an audiobook, but hearing that Neil is going to read CA makes me consider my first purchase! I'd read the novel myself first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
