[@Aiko2-26-9]

The reason I click on any story you narrate is because your command of your voice and total absorption into each character makes any story come alive to me. The main reason I see a story you've written and immediately click on it is that I know I will get a delicious shiver down my back. Carry on, my friend. Ignore the riff raff and carry on.

[@ClassicGhost]

You are very kind and I do appreciate your lovely words

[@totmmalaysia1276]

The general rule is if you're narrating stories, your read all the characters. If i's a radio play, then actors read the lines. And none of those are etched in stone. You're doing a superb job. Some people are adding uncreative boundaries where there are none. You're no taking away anybody's job or rights. Carry on. We love them.

[@rameyzamora1018]

There was so much emotion & nuance in your reading of "The Woman at the Door." I forgot you were reading - it seemed you were just talking to me. There are treasures in this world & this channel is one of 'em.

Don't pay attention to ignorant people..you are such an amazing narrator you make me enjoy any story and accent you do ..you do it in a great way...I have an European accent living in America and to the I New that have problem with my accent I tell them...(I have an accent when speaking but I don't think with one in certain cases people do have...lol..just keeping doing it for the people who l9ve it..ignore the rest..thank you for making my day with you voice stories and accents..I love tons 💖💖🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

[@lisabradshaw1207]

I love listening to your narration of ANY story. Ridiculous that someone would suggest you hire a female narrator! Some people spend way too much time looking for opportunities to be offended. And your American accent is pretty good; seems a lot of actors immediately fall into an exaggerated Texas accent when trying to sound American. Keep up the great work.

[@lux.illuminaughty]

From one Lisa to another, I couldn't agree more. I love this man's voice! He could read ingredients lists or instructions for how to change tires, and I'd be here for it. I enjoy his post-story chat, sharing information about about the author he read or the inspirations & bits of real life that pop up in his own stories, in which we get to learn more about him. I love the starry wallpaper behind him when he films himself reading.

I don't think it matters whether you're a man reading a story about a female or vise versa.. It's a fictional tale and provided it's done well it doesn't matter to me. Why limit yourself? By the way, I enjoyed the story, with a bit of extra detail it would make a good short horror film. Cheers 👍

[@rneustel388]

I started listening to audiobooks back in the late 70s or early 80s, and on cassette, when I started working on a lot of needlepoint, and I never cared whether the book was written by male or female, or whether the main character was male or female. All I cared about was whether the narrator was clear and easy to listen to. I think your narration style is very good and one I could listen to for hours, and have done while listening to your audiobooks. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the comments like what you were mentioning as I imagine most of your followers feel as I do. It took me a bit before I realized there was something “fishy in Denmark,” as they say, with the death of his family. Well done!

I've narrated for Pseudopod several times and was required to do both male and female voices. I would definitely offer my voice pro bono if I can ever get my studio set up again. It's a massive endeavor but I'll let you know... What a FREAKING GREAT story Tony. I did NOT see that ending coming. It was like an electric bus or subway car that silently came around a blind corner, knocking me off my feet. I think I literally scared my dogs with my sudden gasp. Brilliant. Bravo 👏❤

I choose the stories on KZbin, BBC sounds, archive, etc by the voice of the narrator. I enjoy your voice very much. No need for a female narrator. In fact when it’s a story that in the person of a female, I rather like the momentary mind adjustment to get used to a male voice. For what it’s worth that’s my two cents!
