Oh, I agree, and that’s the serious limit on quality narrations; it’s a talent and a rare one. I remember reading an interview with Simon Vance in which he said now that he’s older, he can’t read as much in a day as he used to. There’s too much of the attitude that anyone can do it, which is why there are so many dreadful author narrations.
But the grinding out aspect is why the producer is so important, but I think qc is manifestly perfunctory. There’s no excuse whatsoever for “hyper-bowl.” Not for the narrator, and not for the producer.
