Do you try to cultivate an authorial voice when you write 3rd person narratives?

Louise Penny in her Three Pines books.

Now that this topic is at the front of my mind, I've been paying attention. It's not a close 3rd with Gamache. It's her own voice, although it does have dashes of Armand's reflectivity and Jean-Guy's wry humor.

I came upon a story today (four vignettes, actually) where the narrator is such a vivid presence he almost becomes a character. In one vignette he uses first person, so, of course, he is a character. Part of this may be my own contribution from having read other of @ElectricBlue's stories. If you care to comment it's Emma and Bobbie. Reprise.
