Playing games with Sonic Cinema

Awesome news from the Sonic Cinema front! Shamelessly cut and pasted:

"Sonic Cinema Productions has just announced a partnership with Dave MacLean and Ben Macwilliam who are creating an amazing new online game called Neoastra.

SCP will provide the audio drama portion of this game, using their stable of actors and production techniques to add a full resonant sound quality. Neoastra promises to be a really exciting experience that will be available for everyone to play in the next year!"

Sounds like a fun deal! You can get more information from the Sonic Society website!

Casting Call for New Fan-fic Audio Drama!

This looks to be fun- Buffy Between the Lines is now having open auditions for their new audio drama!

"Buffy Between the Lines is a serialized, podcast fanfic audio drama written, produced and created by fans for fans. Each season will bring you 12 (or so) episodes in classic radio drama fashion. "

Head over to the link and get all the details today! Auditioning goes until July 18th.

Three neat-o podcast hits

Tee Morris's new pod-book, "Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword", takes the podiobook to the next level. Sure, you get straight narration of the story. The twist is in the added sound effects, music, and even a cast! It's a great fantasy twist on the old private-dick theme. The 9th chapter just went up, so you can start listening and don't even have to have lag time in-between chapters!

Why have I waited so long to bring this up? Why, because I was waiting for my debut, that's why! LOL!

What's funny is, I had several audio things that I did at different times, and it's all coming out at the same time. It's quite hilarious to me, but the little stroke of the ego is kinda nice too... heheheh. I've been a long-time listener to the Variant Frequencies podcast. So when Rick asked if I'd like to read a flash fiction piece, I was like uh, hell yeah!

And I got to be creepy... me likey. I hope you do too! Though I couldn't do it without an awesome story to begin with, written by Anne Stringer. (See? Matt Wallace doesn't take up the WHOLE podcast... ;-) )


And finally... me thinks I should finally watch Buffy and see what the hub-bub is all about.

Manna For The Arts

Great new podcast has debuted, that I think all audio drama enthusiasts will enjoy and benefit from.

Manna for the Arts is "a one-hour audio program featuring audio theater, interviews with inspiring artists, health tips, mind puzzlers and more. Listen at your computer or download it to jazz up your commute. write us with your questions, or to order a CD of the program."

It looks like a lot of fun, and I have put it in iTunes so I'm able to check it out later! (I'm currently in the middle of some GREAT audio drama entries, so I have a running list of what to check out when the "work" is complete). Here's the lowdown for the first episode:

• Part One: "The Extra News", Interview with opera soprano Delynn Ketcherside, "Health In the Jungle": weight loss tips, audio theater drama "Finding Peter"
• Part Two: Continued interview with Delynn Ketcherside, the "Artstimulant" (poetic puzzler), audio theater comedy "Where's My Sting?", the "Final Word to Ponder"

New home for Voice Actors to meetup

Are you a voice actor looking for a part? Do you feel you are limited in places you can look for said parts? And, do you find that the parts you've done do not really show off your true abilities?

Well, look no further! A new group has started in yahooland... Voice Actors United! It's a brand-spanking new forum created not only for VA's, but to bring awareness to the most awesome world of radio drama/ audio cinema/whatever term you'd like to use.

When I say brand-spanking new, I'm talking about 24 hours new. Right now it's a bunch of introductions, but I know that soon, it will begin to take shape.

Head over and join- you'll be glad you did. After all, I'm not just a spokesperson for Voice Actors United, I'm also a member. ;-)
