Hellooooo grooviest of audio creatives!

Hope your productions are coming along nicely?! Do ping me to let me know what you're up to and I can mention your show on future eps!

I have been a vv lucky creative and spoke to the wonderful Óðinn ( 2 nn's) Örn Hilmarsson of Ramon Fear's Terror Tapes, Crowley Time LIVE! and more about all things making audio drama -LIVE! 

Odinn is a wonderful audio and visual creative (I mean, he works on one f the best animations - The Tiny Angry Witch by David K Barnes and with Beth Eyre which you can find - here!

as well as freelancing and brilliance in INDIE AF podcasts!

Odinn talks about the visual element being so important to think on = not just 4 folks at a mic! Make it more 'fun and exhilerating for the audience’ - audiences don’t want to come and see something live and shut their eyes - they should have some spectacle! 

Items to utilise we chat about -

• FOLEY TABLE
• Q-LAB SOFTWARE (You can rent Q-LAB for $8 a day….

⁠⁠Buy QLab⁠⁠)

• CREATIVITY
• PATIENCE

As well as exploring various elements of planning and execution, we discuss how

>Rehearsals are key for the tech team and actors. They can be done over zoom / vid link or in person and there are many variables for successful use of this time.

>Tech rehearsals are golden precious time and herein Odinn underlines how important it is to use this time for the tech run and not for honing directing or blocking! 

TOP TIPS>>>

• Get to know the venue staff
• Have a separate live script!
• Plan your tech run session - rehearse!
• WRITE DOWN AND REHEARSE THE MIC THE VA GOES TO!
• GET VA’s to note all important things and standby for the important thing legibly in their script
• Make lots of ambient loops for soundscaping
• KEEP IT A LITTLE BIT LOOSE so there is room for live spontaneity
• Put your VA’s recs in separate tracks

It is important you realise what detective you will have to be re finding the right sounds and problem solving prior to the show and at the venue to make the show as wonderful as possible. 

Are you doing a live show?

HURRAY!

You wanna do a live show? My consultancy fees are reasonable! Ping me on ⁠[email protected]⁠ or Odinn for help….

Huzzahs!

Thank you so much once again to my invaluable patreons who help support this podcast made for INDIE AF creatives by one - this last month I have run audio drama workshops for WIRELESS THEATRE, Directed and produced 2 audio drama shows and been recording more fun filled eps for this podcast - would LOVE to hear from any women making podcasts who would love to come on and talk about any aspect of the craft of making audio drama, and especially would love to hear from folks from any marginalised communities or diverse cultures who would like to come on the show - please do ping [email protected] and we can sort a chat!

Happy creating all!

AUPHONC - Is a super playground to utilise to get your audio sounding groovier - Christoph shows what it does and how it does it in this podcast episode on this useful AI tool.

Yes.

Useful.

I do hope you have a browse and see if it will help you in your process with various actor's different mic settings or if sound effects accidentally are recorded behind your vocals - and, yes, there is, In a way a visual element to this ep so, you lucky folks can go here to my Patreon account for Quirky Voices and watch the video FOR FREE! I oft pop the unexpurgated unedited chats on zoom on the Patreon account for my patrons so if you want more of that, jump on there too!

Next week - Jonathan Pezza and the art of ANTHOLOGY CREATION! Yes the creative behind Curious Matter and more chats all things making audio drama.

THANKS SO MUCH TO CHRISTOPH OF AUDIOPHONIC - I think for some folks it will become a valuable part of their process for just making things sound cleaner - and no, I did not make time to run this ep through it, but perhaps should have as we had to use some zoom recording audio....however, do not let that stop you having the fun!

I left the music by OLIVER MORRIS on there so you can have a dance at the end and think about your next creating session for making more amazing AUDIO DRAMA!

Happy creating!
