Podcast readers: do you annotate your stories before reading

Hi, everyone,
This question is for the podcast voice actors (is that the right term?). Once I had a girlfriend who wanted to read a short story for class and she marked up the book with pencil for cues for how she should be speaking. I was horrified, of course, to get a book back with penciled notes in her crappy handwriting.
But now that I've heard a couple great episode readers, I find myself wondering:
Anyway, thanks for the feedback in advance!

But now that I've heard a couple great episode readers, I find myself wondering:
- Do you annotate your stories?
- If so, how?
- Do you highlight dialogue with different color highlighters to make sure you use the right character voice?
- Do you make notes about tone (angry! coy!)
- As a side note, some people also have better recording rigs than others. What kind of mics/headsets do you use?
Anyway, thanks for the feedback in advance!
