As one of the moderators of that Goodreads group - welcome!
My experience with the narrators listed gives a 4 to Frederick Davidson, as he kept working after his voice declined near the end. These folks all get 5's: William Dufris, Grover Gardner, Lisette Lecat, John Lee, Nadia May, Barbara Rosenblatt, Simon Vance and Timothy West.
Not on list
Emily Woo Zeller gets a 1 - I recall listening to her read a book because she does Chinese pronunciation well, but otherwise I came away with a strong impression that I never wanted to hear her read anything else again.
The following are 5's: George Guidall, Kirby Heyborne, Jefferson Mays, Michael Page, Davina Porter, Ray Porter, Kate Reading and Jeff Woodman.
Finally ... we need to talk about Flo Gibson. I give her a 4, but she's
definitely an "acquired taste"!
