Author: Jack (Page 85 of 179)
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!
Tonight Jack speaks with Steve Schneider, Tanja Milojevic, Richard Summers and Owen McCuen about their recent work in 11th Hour Productions Heavenly Deception.
Producer, artist, software developer, actor, and all around Renaissance man Steven Jay Cohen has your back when it comes to getting the best recording levels.
Check out this post on his site: Setting Your Own Recording Levels: A Step-by-Step Guide.
Something has changed. You bought a new mic? A new pre-amp? You added some new sound treatment? Or, your set-up is the same, but the room its in is different? Any variation in your recording space means that you really should go through all of your settings again. Don’t be afraid. There is no reason to be overwhelmed.
If you take it step-by-step, it’s really not that difficult to do.
Tonight Jack is proud to present a special two hour bonus episode of the No Sleep Podcast Live showfrom David Cummings and starring among others our David Ault.
It’s always great when we who use Reaper get great help. Tanja Milojevic from Lightning Bolt Theater of the Mind posted this little gem of a youtube channel. I must see for those of us struggling to always make better audio works!
On our Season 12 season finale, Jack and David briefly reminisce before delving into the final double feature from Radio Theater Project– two H. Beam Piper classics “Edge of the Knife” and “Expedition on Mars” from Barry M Putt Jr. and Joseph C. McGuire, and it all happens here where it’s AUDIO DRAMA TIME!
NPR Training has some great vocal warmups:
If you pant like a Labrador will your voice have more energy? Can you hum away “vocal fry?” And what does Bugs Bunny have to do with good radio?
I coach reporters at NPR on vocal delivery — and these are some of the tricks we use. To really build a strong vocal presence for audio storytelling, I suggest you create a simple, daily warm-up routine that involves body, breath and voice. (And yes, panting like a dog is part of it).
Check out the link for all the warm-ups and the video connected on the “Three Tips for Training Your Voice”
Superstar voice actor/writer/producer, Tanja Milojevic from Lightning Bolt Theater of the Mind and many other productions (including EVP) posted on Facebook the Voice Acting Space. If you’re interested in getting into the audio acting gig. Give it a try!
Many know by now that Tim Heffernan of The Dramapod fame has made a miraculous transformation of his site into a hub of potential RSS Feeds for the audio drama community. In his one site he’s created the opportunity for producers of audio stories to come together and host their series without cost.
When Tim asked us to participate through the beta process, we at EVP considered the obvious: “Why not have a podcast strictly of our own shows?” Hence the Electric Vicuna Production Podcast was born. Here we chronicle the complete package of EVP shows, and as of this week we just hit EPISODE 50!
Just in time for another great leap ahead for Drama Pod- the integration of iTunes. So, for all of you folk who use i-tunes, here’s the iTunes link for the EVP Podcast. Happy listening!
Tonight Jack and David are proud to bring some multiple episodes of two different shows for our double “features”. Beginning with the 4077th’s Rip Jarvis of the Space Cadets space fantasy parody, and ending off the sometimes not-safe-for-work but always hilarious Video Game World News Tonight from Scott Phillips.
Don’t look now but it’s AUDIO DRAMA TIME!
