So does it count as a dramatic reading if it's not meant as a parody, but rather taken seriously?

Exactly my question. I’m wondering whether Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality in The Sims 3
fits, and if not, what trope it falls under – it’s a serious reading of a (generally thought to be) good fic.
Iam confused. Most of the videos in the links arnt very Dramatic they mostly are some person reading in a very monotone voice

There's two reasons for this - being one who's tried to find reliable, good dramatic readings: One, some might do that monotone voice as the joke (and still do other things you'd expect, like wording everything how it is spelled, when they're errors), rather than actually dramatically reading otherwise, while possibly being extremely snarky throughout it. Two, some are simply poor are at it. There's always good and bad cases. I have found four that I liked - two that I am huge fans of, and two that I found decent or great, but didn't stick with it. There have been a few, random side things that I have also liked (e.g Dot Dot Dot), but I'm referring to people I've seen do it more than a few times. It's not always easy finding someone you like. Good dramatic readings are awesome, but they're not as common as I'd like - as dramatic readings, from what I know, aren't that common in themselves.
Would it be safe to post Dramatic Readings of Agony in Pink as examples?
