It’s that time of year for us at EVP where we start looking to the universities and local theatre guilds to get a solid group of actors for our audio dramas. We have fantastic performers, but sometimes they go inactive, get overused, don’t have time, or move away, and it’s always good to have a fresh supply.
If local acting isn’t in your wheelhouse for the time being, or if you want to try to go the route of fresh new faces (voices), maybe you might want to give Casting Call Club. Membership is free (although they do have enhanced premiums for those who pay) and there’s all kinds of opportunities. Check it out!
This fantastic help document on Gain Staging- 5 Mistakes to Avoid by Joe Albano, does an incredible job of going through some of the most parts of recording. What is gain staging you ask? According to the article, “gain-staging is, in practice—optimizing the level at the input and output of each step in the processing chain (real or virtual)”. So now that you know, make sure get an opportunity to erase mistakes for your next productions!
It’s not often that Brietbart mentions audio drama, but they took the time to talk about a BBC Radio Drama that they feel gave practical tips for illegal migration out of Somalia.
Of course, one might consider that the Old Time Radio series I Was a Communist for the FBI might be giving practical tips on being a Communist during the Cold War Era as well.
Read for yourself in the article: BBC Radio Drama Gave Tips For Illegal Migrants in Somalia and decide for yourself!
When I conceived of The Dead Line Anthologies at EVP Studios, I thought the narrator was a “voyeur in a wired world”. Often times, audio drama producers ask the question “Is Anyone Listening?”. I would argue that over the course of a decade, we’ve made great strides.
Samuel Morrison from The Cornell Sun asks the same question in this article Is Anyone Listening? Morrison writes about radio drama:
Discovering this medium has single handedly salvaged my slumber and opened me up to a new world of immersive storytelling armed with only the power of sound. It is visceral and real, and it attains psychological realism in a way that other mediums sometimes cannot.
Check out the rest of Samuel Morrison’s thoughts on the medium, and his plea to listen to great audio drama!

We love brand new series of Audio Drama, and here’s the latest. A creepy serialized audio drama “Return Home”
From the Press Release Posted on DreadCentral:
Bamfer Productions is proud to announce that they released their new serialized audio drama, “Return Home,” on Tuesday, March 1, 2016.
Return Home is the story of Jonathan Barker, who returns to his home of Melancholy Falls, NJ, after five years away. An unknown entity beckons him back East in order to unravel the mystery of what his home town has become… or has always been. Reunited with his best friend, Buddy, Jonathan must discover the secrets of Melancholy Falls and why he was told to return home.
The show is done in the style of an old time radio drama, like those of the past, but with a modern twist. It is fully produced in stereo sound to make you feel like you are part of the action. Though you can listen however you’d like, it’s recommended you do so with headphones. Alone. In a darkened room.
The show also features an amazingly talented cast, featuring the vocal talents of Forrest Orta, Cleve North, Alyssa Rittorno, Russell Eaton, Rossco SoleTrain, Taylor Thorne, and more. And that’s just the first episode.
Each episode will be split into several parts, with each part being around 10 minutes in length. Parts will be released on Tuesdays until an episode is complete. As a whole, these parts will make up a self-contained story, while every episode will contribute to the overall mythology of the show. The first episode of the show, “Home at Last,” began releasing on March 1, and will be spread over five weeks. Episode 2, titled “Whatever Lies Behind the Door,” will begin releasing on April 5.
“Return Home” is the creation of Jeff Heimbuch, who has been co-hosting the theme park podcast “Communicore Weekly” for the last five years. He is partnering with Andrew Taylor, who is producing this project, and Kori Celeste, who is composing all of the original music.
“I’ve always wanted to expand my storytelling skills into the realm of audio dramas, as they have fascinated me since I was a kid. Now that I have the means to tell the creepy, yet quirky, story of ‘Return Home’ correctly, I am excited to bring it to the ears of people everywhere,” said Heimbuch.
“I jumped at the chance to work on an audio-centric, story-driven podcast. It’s been a blast to create this world using only sound, so far, and we can’t wait to continue this journey,” said Taylor.
“Return Home” is available now on iTunes, Stitcher, and wherever else you can find podcasts. For more information visit ReturnHomePodcast.com.
