Born to Teachers and Amateur Audio Enthusiasts in the small rural community of Belwood, Jack's first love was stories- writing, reading, telling, and singing. He developed his acting skills through High School, University, and through film and community theatre.
Jack writes the lion's share of Sonic Cinema Production's (previously Electric Vicuna) Audio Drama scripts and has his own writing site at www.jackjward.com. Jack also is the middle of book writing, screenplay production, and is the CEO of the Mutual Audio Network- where he and the best people in the world Listen & Imagine, Together!.
He's thrilled to co-host the Sonic Society with his wonderful, talented, friend David Ault as they enter their second decade in the medium!
… Or rather they have settled for kidnapping Santa! That’s right, Lions Den Theatre and Dartmouth Players present “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians- the Radio Play”. The holiday favourite was adapted into a live show radio drama which was fun for the whole family. Ginny, Rory and Jack had a ball laughing at the great balls of cheese as this B-flick script was expertly rendered into a live performance. Congratulations all!
Adapted by Keith Morrison from the much over-looked film of the same name, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians will bring a little family friendly sci-fi into your holidays as we present an old-timey radio style version of this classic Christmas comedy, complete with costumes and live sound effects.
Our star-studded cast includes: Colleen MacIsaac, Dan Bray, Dan Roy , Jenny Trites, Jesse Robb, Maggie Hammel, Mark Penny, Matt Downey, Melanie Patten, Sean Skerry, Shawn Maggio

When I created the Audio Drama Ratings System for audio producers everywhere to be a helping hand in identifying various content warnings for listeners, I was aware that audio drama is the most intimate of mediums. Just try listening to the sounds of movie lovemaking scene at some point, you’ll notice its far more X-rated in your head than it is when you open your eyes and match the visuals.
Aural Sex is not something new, and actually has a pretty large audience. as 
describes in this New York Times article.
Whatever way you make your audio, even if it’s Aurotica (TM), give your listeners a clue as to what to expect, and they’ll appreciate it!
If you’re a fan of the fast-paced, hard-clipped, almost-English accents of the 20’s and 30’s, you’ll remember it as Trans-Atlantic or Mid-Atlantic accent. Especially effective for enunciating in Audio Drama, it has a kind of machine gun speed comedic style which is sadly missing. While many people can do a great parody of the Trans-Atlantic, superior usage of it, like Katherine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby, has long been lost (kind of like our wonderful audio adaptation!). We at the Society think it’s about time to bring it back. Check out Brainstuff‘s little video on the accent, and start practicing, see!
