Author: Jack (Page 123 of 175)
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!
We did… and we’re thrilled the love keeps being passed on. Check out how James Kerr from Trent University is getting on board the Radio Drama train with the help with a new fund and bringing local talent back to the days of radio!

With thanks to Fred Greenhalgh from Radio Drama Revival for this find, NASA has released a ton of their sounds from their archives for public domain use. Just remember that the NASA logo belongs to them, and that NASA never endorses a product or organization. It’s purpose is to share its findings and exploration with the world!
For someone who grew up with CBC Radio, it’s really heartbreaking to see the lowest point in Canada’s finest broadcaster (It is the lowest point, isn’t it? It can’t go any lower… please?)
With scandals, and criminal charges, and cutbacks from the federal government, the CBC seems to have entirely lost its way. For years, the CBC has tried to stop being the “nerd’ and befriend the “cool kid” in the class. Their new choice for the hosting spot in “Q” is no exception.
Dear CBC. You’re smart. You’ve always been the place where people go to get their minds fed. Go back to accepting and appreciating that. You created who generations of kids who grew up loving that about you. Bring us thoughtful drama, hilarious comedy, serious journalism, brilliant counter-culture ideas, and radio drama. Bring us back radio drama in all its myriad forms.
With Love,
The Sonic Society.

There’s been a lot of discussion back and forth from different quarters as to what you call various roles in the Audio Drama world. Some people prefer Audio Engineer, Recording Engineer, Sound Editor, Editor, or Sound Producer, Production Editor and the like to describe the work of Post Production of an audio drama.
Similarly, I’ve heard the term “Foley Artist” expressed at times with “Sound Effects Artists”. This Media Heritage article tries to explain the difference. “Foley was named after Jack Foley. sound technician from the days of silent film. Foley is used for the post-production work, asserts the article. Sound Effects Men, were and are those brave folks who provide the sound effects live!
A long time ago in a galaxy quite near to this one, the Sound Effects artists painted pictures in the minds of the young and old alike by using a variety of machines, and ingenuity. Check out this fantastic production from the past that gives a glimpse in what was, and what could be today!
