Do they do anything particular with their voice or tone in order to enhance the story?

Wil Wheaton brings a lot to the books he narrates, but the best combo I've heard so far is John Malkovich reading Breakfast of Champions.

Dear god no. Wil Wheaton has the most grating, whiny, nasal voice I've ever heard, immediately puts me off any book he narrates. He only has one reading style which doesn't translate at all between different books
