You're listen to the wrong audio books. Some of the narrators are absolutely amazing at doing "the voices". Yes, I've heard some that are horrible enough to take you out of the material but the good ones are worth it, you just have to be a little pickier about which audio books you're listening to. The books that have a full cast are even better, but I can't imagine that it's really cost effective to do that.
This exactly. I remember growing up my parents would listen to Alex Cross books on tape and the man doing the women characters voices was particularly disturbing. But then you’ve got all-time legends like Roy Doltrice on the ASOIAF series and Jim Dale on Harry Potter. Narrators who are so good I recalled their names off the top of my head!

I'm now picturing how awesome it would be to have Murder, She Wrote but with DMX playing Jessica Fletcher.
Thank you for giving voice to this
I was literally complaining about this to a friend not two hours ago
Mary the elephant is awesome!
