Audie Award for Best Male Narrator

The Audie Award for Best Male Narrator is one of the Audie Awards presented annually by the Audio Publishers Association (APA). It awards excellence in audiobook narration by a man released in a given year. Before 2016 the award was given as the Audie Award for Male Solo Narration. It has been awarded since 1998, when it superseded the Audie Award for Solo Narration. The award was disestablished in 2024, at which point it was replaced by the Audie Awards for Best Fiction and Non-Fiction Narrator.[1]
