Paying Audio Drama Gig

On Craigslist on March 12th in the LA area we see this ad:

SAG/AFTRA Actors Wanted for Internet Audio Drama (Voice Acting)

We are currently casting four to five SAG actors for the pilot episode of a new internet audio drama. (If you’re not familiar with the concept of “audio drama, ” think Old Time 1940s Radio. This is a vocal performance only.)

Our noirish “internet radio” drama is a playful take on the 1940s/50s detective genre. (Think Neil Simon’s “The Cheap Detective” or Carl Reiner’s “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.”) Each episode will be performed “live-to-tape,” with episode run times from 15-20 minutes.

Cast will include three male actors and two females. Ages are not specific, and could easily range from 25-ish to 70-ish.

This new series, intended solely for online distribution, is being produced by a SAG/AFTRA signatory under the terms of the SAG/AFTRA New Media Agreement. $100 per episode minimum. Production of each episode will take no more than one hour.

Please email if interested. We’ll answer any questions, and send you casting info. . .

If you live in the North Hollywood area and are a SAG/AFTRA member. Break a leg on the audition!

Another Faded Voice

March 4, 2016 / Jack / 0 Comments

JAB-Adu JAB Adu (1932-2016) was an incredibly gifted actor, scriptwriter and producer and even at over eighty was pursuing his dream of completing his masterpiece. His thespian gifts go as far back into the sixties when he was wowing television audiences with his long running series The Village Headmaster. A consummate professional and perfect gentleman JAB’s long career took him into the many-faceted world of radio drama as a script writer on the platform of the African Radio Drama Association (ARDA). He also contributed to the radio series, Rainbow City, which addressed issues related to good governance, reproductive health and HIV/AIDS. His work caught the eye of the BBC World Service and he featured on the award-winning radio drama series, Story Story– Voices from the Market.

A great loss to the voices of radio drama, and to his native home of Africa. May his stories continue on…

The C in BBC Stands for Comedy

February 26, 2016 / Jack / 1 Comment

sc_simon_callow While the “C” in BBC actually stands for Corporation, it might as well, be comedy as BBC4 historical sit-com called “Plum House”. Starring Simon Callow, Miles Jupp and Jane Horrocks. The Chortle article describes the six-part series as one that shows:

Peter Knight, curator of Plum House, former dwelling of poet and artist George Pudding, with Jupp as Julian, his fogeyish but megalomaniacal deputy. Horrocks is Maureen, running the giftshop and more concerned with turning a profit than preserving Pudding’s legacy.

This crumbling comedy begins June 15 in an 11.30 am following the successful pilot from 2014!
