Wow. As a narrator, it is pretty lovely to hear that most people allow for the pacing and nuance to unfold naturally. I totally get speeding it up a little bit- but sometimes I look at these questions and go “do you fast forward your movies, too? 🤷‍♀️”

About 2-2.5 depending on the book. Sometimes 3 if the narrator is particularly slow. I can not do the 1x speed. Can’t can’t can’t.
