Because I was bored, I recorded a minute and a half of Robert Sean Leonard Reading 'Prey' by Michael Crichton. I love RSL's speaking voice!
Please go have a listen! I might do a few other little bits if anyone seems interested...Just over 2mbs:

This is at the very start of the talking book. Enjoy :D

Me, too! Lovelovelove his voice! I listened to a little bit of "Surving the Applewhites", like you recced :D Still I can't dissociate him from Wilson... esp. when RSL read "darkened house" in the begining of "Prey". and yes, I am intrigued after just 1 min and 38 sec. more? please?

lol :)
I definately won't be able to do the whole thing...book is over 13 hours long, but it is my favorite of his...I think I will do a bit of the next part where he is shopping for placemats.
Such an intense book--umm, not the placemats part lol, but later :D
How much of Surviving the Applewhites did you read? You really have to listen to him doing the voice of Destiny, the little boy :) I think I will get that TB again and make a clip of it...cracks me up every time! :D

shopping for placemats, huh? sounds like fun :D and possibly a good prompt for a house/wilson fic... *wink-wink nudge-nudge*

I only listened to a tiny bit of Surviving the Applewhites. I didn't have a tape player (this is the 21st century after all...:P), so I had to go over to a friend's place... anyways, I didn't get to hear him doing the voice of a little boy. Can he ge any cuter?!

I made a few more clips from Prey, including the placemats part. Will try to get it uploaded tonight as well as a few other bits.
I'll place a hold on Applewhites so I can record some of the voices he does. He normally doens't change his voice that noticibly for the characters, but it sounded like he had a lot of fun doing that talking book :D

Isn't his voice great? Makes up for the rather, ah, poor writing quality Crichton has. (By the end of the tapes, my brother and I were openly laughing at Crichton's writing.)

I was too focussed on RSL to notice bad writing quality. Some of the smaller sized talking books he had done are quite horrible, though. :-/

I took advantage of your generosity - thank you! :)

Oooh, cheesy music. He does have such a *beautiful* speaking voice, sigh. I've read the book btw. A comment about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear springs to mind :)

lol! That doesn't ring a bell...This version is abridged and 13-14 hours long. The unabridged version (not done by RSL unfortunately) is over 22 hours.
I'll try to get some more parts up tomorrow. I love this talking book so much..listened to it over 5 times :D

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

Heh - that was just my way of saying that I think RSL is kind of wasted on that kind of book, although it is a passable 'airport novel' I suppose. But that doesn't stop me enjoying it, obviously! :)

I just wish he did more books of that length. Almost killed one of my RPG characters when I was listening...I think at the part while they were all trapped in the cars. Reminded me of the X-files episode.
Surviving the Applewhites is pretty decent.
