Here is a free video sample of Max McLean reciting the passage in Genesis where Abraham is to sacrifice his only son.
I may have to go watch a performance when he is in the Dallas area this February. Here's a schedule of his upcoming live events:
Dr. Donald S. Whitney says this in a review:
"McLean doesn’t sound as though he is reading anything. Rather he sounds as you might expect the writers of the text to sound if they were speaking instead of writing. For instance, hearing McLean read Acts 2 almost has you believing that you’re listening to a recording of Peter preaching (in English, of course) at Pentecost. His ability to pause and add inflection to the words spoken by different characters in a dialogue makes you more aware of the give-and-take of conversation in a passage. His enunciation is crisp without sounding contrived. His manner of precisely articulating with lips and teeth, such as the way he bites off words in the imprecator Psalms, adds to the realism and believability of McLean’s work."
I listened to the free audio samples and watched the video. Whitney's words certainly describe what I sensed.
