I've done voice acting on and off, metre and cadence can potentially have a lot to do with it. Each actor goes at their own rhythm and somehow that can sometimes be a vital part of emulating them. Tom Baker's voice, for instance, tends to have an almost methodical(?) weight to it, so it ends up being rather slow compared to, say, Peter Davison's more breathless, hectic tone. Colin Baker's voice has a sort of punctuated emphasis as Sixie. Less like drums, more like thunder. Paul McGann on audio sounds almost lyrical. Poetic, light, but with every word chosen deliberately. I wonder if Dudman's impression was just a teeny bit slower (you can see him pause to think about what he's saying in Dulce Et), it would work even better? Some really nice impressions all the same, I rather like his David Tennant. Reminds me more than a bit of Chris Thompson as the Second Doctor. Dead ringers and all that. Same here. I've done voice work at several points in my career and his cadence & inflection as 9 seems just about right to me. That said, these Chronicles ranges don't do much for as of yet but I do think Dudman is rather good.

I think a lot of people are just getting very wound up about The Doctor Chronicles and interpreting what are essentially audiobooks as "recasting" when they are nothing of the sort. It's honestly more like someone complaining how they recast Stephen Critchlow as All the Doctors in the Subscriber Short Trips. Dudman is the narrator of an audiobook, with occasional other actors. (Mind you, if that's not your bag, I get it. Some people aren't into narration.) Yes, it's like saying that BBC have recast The Seventh Doctor with Terry Molloy because he's done some Seventh Doctor Talking Books.

I reckon a good director could very easily give that performance a teeny nudge into perfect. It'd be great to see him on anything really, a Chronicles story, Short Trip or whatever. This thread's now gotten me looking up impressionists all over the place. One for Two and The Zygon Inversion, one for Nine and the Pandorica, one for One ("You can't impersonate me! Not one line!"). There's a lot of really great talent floating around time and Spain, I mean space.
