Opera Vox Audiobooks

Mr. Clarke is a fantastic actor. I first heard him on LibraVox and he was so excellent, I did not want to listen to anyone else! I was thrilled to discover Opera Vox. I am enjoying David Copperfield. I wonder what he will read next. Can’t wait!!

I am a long time fan of Mr. Clarke’s Librivox recordings- particularly his Sherlock Holmes stories, which I have listened to many times. His voice is pleasant and mellow, and I often turn the stories on to relax and feel immersed in a different world. I very much look forward to his forthcoming readings in this podcast!

I first came across David Clarke on LibriVox where, alongside (I believe) all the Sherlock Holmes works, he has posted a reading of my long-time favorite book, The Count of Monte Cristo. This is a book I read at least twenty times in high school alone, so the best praise I can give Mr. Clarke is that he does that book justice. There are even particular line readings (for example, a sighed “Indeed.”) that I will rewind to listen to again. He doesn’t just read these books; he reads each character. His work here holds up to the high standards his LibriVox work sets.

I've listened to all the books narrated by David Clarke on Librivox. Most more than once. David's pacing, distinct character voices and interpretation is always spot on. (Right up there with Jim Dale's Harry Potter audiobooks). I knew the basic Phantom story but had never read it. It's an excellent classic yarn rich in detail and period context. It's also good to experience in serialized form as it and many other classics were originally published. Cliffhangers can be frustratingly fun!
