Do they do anything particular with their voice or tone in order to enhance the story?
Merlin Sheldrake reading his Entangled Life is one I’ve listened to numerous times. Delightful, educating. Always uplifting.
His pace is a little slow, so I listen to him at 1.10 or 1.15 speed.
That said, the content carries better with his voice as it is his experiences he’s written about. And he’s a decent musician

I’m going to be controversial.
I think the best audiobook is text to speech.
I prefer to not filter any stories through an other person. I want the raw data from the book, without any other feelings and impressions added to the original.Do you have preferences about which text to speech engine that you use?
I like Google tts. I tried Samsung’s one and I just couldn’t find a good pitch/tone that I liked from it.
Steven Pacey reading Joe Abercrombie’s First Law series is outstanding. The books themselves are among my favourites, but Steven makes them even more special. He has different voices (and accents) for the characters and manages to stay consistent with them. His pacing is also excellent.
Came here looking for this. Was not disappointed 🙏
