This, though I would say that my favourites tend to be British.

I'd rather it read like a radio drama. Old timey radio shows have that certain charm to them that keeps me going back to them.

By British accents do you mean one of the many English accents or a Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish accent?

I'm honestly indifferent. The clarity of their voice and quality of their performance is all that I care about.

My accent and dialect are weird, grew up in Portsmouth (Pompey) but my Dad and Grandad are/were from Bradford (West Yorkshire) so picked up a lot of that over the years.

Doesn't matter to me. I never even thought about it. As long as it's easier to understand, which it always is, then I am indifferent.

Do you know of any audiobooks whose narrator speaks with a Welsh accent? My first instinct was to check out the Mabinogion, and narrator Richard Mitchley indeed is Welsh but sounds very English to me aside from his accurate pronunciation of names like Gwalchmei and Arthur.

I'm sure Michael Sheen has done audio books.

It depends on the location the book is based on.

British eliminates the chance the voice will have certain American accents that I dislike.

The voice of the author please. Chcuk Klosterman's 'But What if We're Wrong?' I bought the audio file, & he chose a British lady to read the entire thing... I was not pleased, I enjoy his vocal cadence & candor on podcasts.
