The best full-cast & multi-voiced audio drama audiobooks
A full-cast audio drama audiobook gives every character its own voice — closer to film than to reading. Below are the award-winning multi-voiced audio drama productions in this index: each won the Audie Award in the audio drama category and is performed by an ensemble or full cast rather than a single narrator. The most recent is George Orwell's 1984 by George Orwell, adapted by Joe White (2025).
