At Audible, they know just how much of an impact a voice can have on a story - taking simple words and filling them with elation, wonderment, tragedy, or pure satisfaction. Listeners rely on narrators to bring favorite stories and characters to life - to introduce them to new authors and genres, or even to a new (perhaps longer) commute. And though the Audible narrators are the best story tellers in the business, it's usually someone else's that they're telling.

So Audible asked 19 beloved performers to share their own personal holiday memories. With each story - some that will bring laughter, some that deal with loss, many that are filled with love and revelation - listeners get to know the person behind the voice.
