The best full-cast & multi-voiced audiobooks
A full-cast audiobook gives every character their own voice — closer to film than to reading. Below are the award-winning full-cast and multi-voiced productions tracked here, led by the famously 166-voice Lincoln in the Bardo. Each won an Audie in its category or the overall Audiobook of the Year.
