Cracked did a fantastic bit on how speaking with dialects can be important. Like we often say, the story is more important than getting the specific accent perfect. Little touches are also important like exactly what is the flavour of your show? Certain heavy accents can accentuate zaniness. Other times if you’re demonstrating old versus new, older characters may have thicker accents whereas younger characters would have a lighter touch.
Check out That Bad Movie Accent Makes More Sense Than You Know on youtube and consider what kind of accent or dialect best tells the story!

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”

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!
