Performance delivered entirely through the voice, for audiobooks, animation and games, demanding precision because no facial expression can rescue a flat line. Jonathan Bailey’s Dracula recording drew on years of stage vocal training. In a year dominated by his face — covers, campaigns, red carpets — the voice project was a reminder that his first instrument was always sound. Critics singled out the performance as a highlight of his entire title year.
