One of the possibilities moving forward might be investing in a Whisper room for recording. Maybe even two. Can you imagine the dialogue between two actors in your house with Whisper room’s attached?

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!
Lothar Tuppen and Jeff Billard joins Jack to look back at the first of this special season of the best of Bill Hollweg beginning with a double feature including “X-Minus One’s The 7th Victim” and the first episode of “Amity- Dark Waters” all with the thanks of Broken Sea Audio and Howl-O for the music!
Our Sonic Summerstock Playhouse opens with a classic tale from X-Minus One. “The Amigos” Collective Audio Group present, “The Knock” in remembering their brother- Bill Hollweg.
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.

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).
