Unleash your inner poet and get involved with audio drama!

Thanks to Dream Realm Enterprises, you can get involved in the fabulous world of audio drama in a couple of different ways. Do you have the directing bug? Do you like to take many voices and sounds, put them all together and make a masterpiece? Well, here's an excellent opportunity to do just that! Here's a little note from the creator of DRE's Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes, Vince:

AUDIO EDITOR/DIRECTOR NEEDED!

Hello.

I hope you are well, and having a jolly time of things.

I recently discovered that the polar bear is the animal that is most likely to
attack you. So stay away from them.

I'm wondering if anyone here is interested in helping with the audio production
of Series 2 of "The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes", a rather silly series
about mysteries and moustaches made with much love and giggles for the splendid
Dream Realm Enterprises.

I'm hoping to find someone who would enjoy putting the episodes together;
someone who enjoys mucking around with sound, and who likes working with actors
(i.e; someone mad).

I appreciate that audio production is a laborious, skilfull and specialised job,
and that people lead busy lives and have tremendously exciting social diaries.
But hey, I did warn you all about the polar bears thing, so surely that's reward
enough for what I'm asking.

Also, I make tasty hot cross buns*, and I'm willing to share the recipe with any
and all volunteers.

Interested? Of course you are!

Contact Vince Stadon
stadonclan@hotmail.com

and you'll make me very happy indeed.

With kind regards and very best wishes,

--Vince Stadon


* It's not true about the hot cross buns. They taste horrible.

See, I think he's just going to play "Hot Cross Buns" on a recorder. So there's one great opportunity. Here's another, for all of the poets (and don't even know-it's) out there!

Hey gang,

Yup, we're bringing you a show devoted exclusively to new and original poetry, which is read by some of the brightest talent on the web, and then set to music! It's coming in April, so stay tuned!

Now that the announcement is out of the way, I can speak directly to all you poets out there! We're seeking new and original poetry! Not just any ole poetry, but the good stuff! So, we're asking you to send us your poems! If we like them, they may just be read on Poet's Passion!

Dream Realm Looking For Writers

Posted to the DRE Yahoo group:

Hello Gang,

I know there are some talented writers out there amongst this group of
amazingly talented people! I'm seeking writers to help us develop our
upcoming fantasy adventure series known as Legacy of Koani (pronounced
cone-eye).

The basic premise is this: A group of young adventurers has been sent
forth to seek the Legacy of Koani, which is simply the wisdom and
knowledge of their people, who are known as the Kryth. Basically, the
Kryth are like you and me, except they have exceptional abilities.
Think of this as X-Men meets Lord of the Rings.

The main characters are as follows:

Xeric Beltane - A young man who is the chosen of his people to lead
this small band of misfits to seek wisdom and knowledge. He is about
18 to 20 years of age, and a lot is on his shoulders. But he happily
takes it on.

Kiff Korran - The childhood friend of Xeric who isn't the smartest
amongst his people. A bit of a fool at times, but with a heart of
gold. He is the lifelong best friend of Xeric's, and would do anything
for him. He can't seem to do much, but at least he can cook.

Zara Knight - She sees herself as a warrior in training, so to speak.
Or a sword-for-hire. She's as young as Xeric, but has a chip on her
shoulders. She is hired by Xeric to come along and help with the
fighting. But truth to tell, Xeric is rather taken with her. Her
feelings may be mutual, but she fights to hide her feelings from
everyone. The only emotion she allows herself to show is how
irritating she finds both Xeric and Kiff to be.

Boots - Rumor has it that Boots Kildor was once a mage and an
adventurer, and that he even advised kings and queens at one time.
However, it can't be proven. He is seen as nothing more than a fool
and a fake by most everyone. But Xeric sees more within this old
klutz, and asks him along for the journey.

Reena Farthing - A teenager who is determined to find adventure. She
insinuates her way into this small band of adventurers, but soon
proves she has some street smarts and a penchant for good luck. She
has few friends, except a small furry creature who sticks by her side
like glue. Could there be more to this pair than meets the eye?

Old Mother Volaryn - The Elder of the Kryth People whose advice is
often sought by the small band of adventurers. She is the wise
chronicler of Xeric's adventures, and is the one who sends him on his
journey.

That should be enough to give you an idea of what these characters are
about. Each episode is a fairly self-contained adventure on the
journey to find knowledge. There will be a story arc (the seeking of
the Legacy of Koani) that will be visited only from time to time as
the series progresses.

Anyone interested in writing for this series should email me
personally by no later than February 28th!

darkbuilding1 AT yahoo DOT com

The series has been cast, but we're in need of scripts. Don't submit
completed scripts, please! If you have an idea for a story, just send
me a brief (a paragraph or two in length) outline.

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from a few of you!

All the best,

Jonithan

Do you hear the Siren's Song?

I'm extra-excited about this audio play from Dream Realm Enterprises, Siren Song. Why? Because I helped out a bit in the post-production editing! :-D

It's a great story, the music fits it perfectly and it has just the right amount of scare to warm you on a cool October evening.

"Emergency room medic, Dr Tim Dameron has fairly run of the mill life until he meets a beautiful redhead from Ireland named Fiona who he believes to be disabled, but whom he learns is "differently-abled". It's a suspenseful "fish story" from the scrolls of The Realm Weaver!"

You can hear Siren Song on the latest episode of The Sonic Society. Soon there will be a direct link (to the audio drama only) on Dream Realm's website.

UPDATE: Direct link to Siren Song:

Robotz Ends Third Season With A Bang!

Really... I mean it. Dream Realm's smash-hit flagship comedy Robotz of the Company ended it's third season last week.

Mayham, madness, and an enemy they had no idea existed! Except in the mind of the fearless Brisco, of course. I just could not stop giggling at the Star Wars references- they were intertwined in the plot very well!

Make sure you listen past the credits, because as with any season ending, there is a cliffhanger...

Podcast feed here, or you can head to the blog page and listen directly!

http://feeds.feedburner.com/RobotzOfTheCompany

Trust me, this beats Spiderman 3 any day of the week!

With Spring Comes Finale's

In Sonic Society's case, it's only a mini-ending. Their latest podcast is not the season finale, but has the ending of their four-part Crazy Dog Audio Theatre feature, Infidel. Next week will be their season finale, and it feature something homegrown by Sonic Cinema productions, Phil Morris: Celestial Lawyer. It's a great story, you should all enjoy it!
They will also be finishing out the third season of Robotz of the Company from Dream Realm Enterprises as well.
Why is this a mini-ending? Well, the Society is planning on bringing us summer fun every two weeks over the summer months, with fan fiction and tribute audio! Yay!

Hmm.. I wonder if there will be a Dr. involved...

Elementary Misadventures

Dream Realm Enterprises presents…

Jeff Niles as Mr Sherlock Holmes

Elie Hirschman as Doctor John H Watson

The Misadventures of

SHERLOCK HOLMES

Based on characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

In fact, everything in this series was created by Sir Arthur.

We've stolen everything, including the furniture.

And we helped ourselves to the drinks cabinet while we were there.

And left muddy footprints on the floor.

Sherlock Holmes: the world's most iconic and intriguing consulting detective.

Everybody knows the image--the lightning mind; the astute powers of observation; the lean frame in the deerstalker hat and Inverness cape; the virtuoso violinist; the casual misogyny; the 'class A drug' intake that could fell an elephant--but now Dream Realm Enterprises takes us deeper into the rooms at 221b Baker Street to reveal the candid side of the Great Detective.

Even a genius gets things totally wrong sometimes. Even the closest of friendships can be stretched to breaking point. Even a hastily-written blurb can go on for far too long.

Join us in the Spring of 2007 for six singular instances of elementary audio comedy-drama. Or something.

The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes -- Elementary Comedy.

Listen to the TRAILER!

Daring Audio Salutes

This week's Sonic Society podcast is filled to the brim with audio goodness. More Dan Dare. The Season premiere of Robotz of the Company. Dr. Floyd. A couple of really awesome sounding promos for a couple of really awesome things. (Can I be any more vague?)

So much going on, my really really AWESOME review was bumped. Uh-huh. Good thing I'm such a forgiving person... ;-)
