Great introduction to Narration and Diction

Reading many reviews of narrations, I've personally found many narrators have these short story narrations to purchase classic examples of their voice, diction and intonations. Certainly each book deserves it's authenticity of the authors voice. In addition, I find each recording house or studio also has it's producer's interpretation. Yet these small notes of a narrator prove time and time again to be particularly valuable purchasing tools. I wish more narrators' would proudly provide the same. Librarian, authors, writers, production houses continue to preserve the idea, we are purchasing books solely on the book's story line, the talent of the writer. Their dogged fact finding and digging for the truth. Ignoring either the voice or the production. Moreover, although I've viewed many reviews of those giving extra stars and better reviews due to back ground music, background music can be exceptionally too loud, and overbearing. Distracting from the author's writings and ideas. I encourage many more narrators take the time to provide buyers with their most talented voices, intonation's, and reading skills. Dazzling us with their wonderfully soothing and astounding talents.
