Mark(ing this particular) Time

Anyone 2. Alone_in_the_Nightwho knows me, knows I don’t often enter EVP shows for awards.

But in the case of Alone in the Night I am so grateful for the amazing work that Michael Stokes put into the production of this Wavefront episode last year. Over the year, Michael and I went back and forth over every moment of the recording performed by the incredible Genevieve Jones, Tanja Milojevic, David Ault, and John Bell.

The Wavefront Anthology has always had a special feel to its science fiction edge for me. I am very humbled to announce that “Alone in the Night” has won Silver in this year’s Mark Time Awards. Well done everyone!

Special thank you to Jerry Stearns for his rendition of the cover art of this show!

Wordless Audio

Well perhaps not wordless, but paralingual. Monique Boudreau from the unsinkable Aural Stage Studios has an incredible blog post about adding texture and depth to your audio drama through the inclusion of all the additional noises made in conversation. One of the great ways of avoiding the “talking heads” is to keep the communication consistently bidirectional through what Monique identifies as paralanguage. Have a look see for yourself at the Aural Fixation Blog and don’t forget to grunt! mime

The End of Podcasting?

Adam Corolla needs your help.

And so do we at the Sonic Society, and EVERY other podcast. Is that hyperbole? Maybe. But it’s also accurate. According to a recent patent filing, Personal Audio, a company represented by James Logan, claims that THEY created Podcasting, and they did it- according to the filed patent- in 2012.  This serious attack on podcasting has Corolla sued in court to the tune of three million dollars.  Patent Trolling is not new, but this does represent an existential threat to podcasts if it goes through. While currently, the EFF (Electric Frontier Foundation) has fought off the first salvo, the war isn’t over yet, and Corolla goes to court in September in an appeal. If you love podcasting, contact the EFF and help by donating to save podcasting!

Can Audio Be Profitable?

The talented and ever busy Audio Drama enthusiast, Frederick Greenhalgh- creator of Radio Drama Revival, the stellar showcase of modern audio theatre and Final Rune Productions his own high quality production company of “The Cleansed” and other works asks an important question. What is it going to take to have Radio Drama come out of the shadow of the popularity of Audio Books. His thoughtful opinions can be found under the title: Audio Drama Needs a 21st Century Business Model. What do you think? Any ideas for this age old conundrum?
