I had to make those different, because from the dialogue itself wasn't always clear who said what. But I figured that I am reading this, not acting it, so I tried to keep any distinction to a minimum. In two of three cases I used a high vs. low pitch, and in one I made the bad guy talk slower, as if he was taunting the other guy. (Which he was.) I had a couple of voices.

I have ended up re-recording a lot of the dialogue bits in my readings to make them more consistent. Sometimes I print out the chapter, highlight the characters in different colors and record their speeches non-sequentially (all of Mr. A's dialogue from the story, then all of Ms. B, for example). Then I edit the speeches into place within the main narration. This makes the accents/tones more consistent. A little bit, anyway. I'm not very good at it.

I just can't do voices, as my last reading clearly indicates. See, this is why I’m glad to be doing monologue ala Dostoyevsky next. I just can’t do voices, as my last reading clearly indicates.
