Hi Tumblr! My name's Roshan -- I'm an audio drama creator with the Singapore-based studio Andas Productions. We're all about shows with a sense of wonder, scale and heart. We especially love adapting stories! (See: DC High Volume: Batman, Temujin, catskull, and Sayang.) I love everything you're about, Tumblr, though I must confess I'm just a little bit terrified of the many buttons and columns and sub-tabs you possess. Though many of my friends think you're the coolest and I've only heard nice things, so I hope we can get along. I especially love over-thought, over-written posts. Is that acceptable here? The internet hasn't been friendly to big text dumps elsewhere for a while and I'm hoping maybe that's cool here. That'd be nice. (Tagging @thelaurenshippen who has been so effusively supportive of me hopping on here -- am I doing this right?)

The game developer part of my brain is usually very aware of something called dev blindness. When you're making a game, most developers are keenly aware that the act of making it has trained you to be -- literally -- the best person in the world at it. Holding that awareness in your head -- even when making audio drama! -- is EXTREMELY useful. Because parsing sonic information is a skill, and it is something that our listeners are exercising their imaginative muscles to do to follow along. What can, to us, feel like further richness over a foundation we're extremely familiar with, can to a listener feel like one step too far into 'brain hurty' hours to figure out this brand new thing you're exposing them to. What's really helped me combat this -- without just swinging way over into extreme minimalism -- is being very purposeful about breathing room. My number one note after any finished mix is usually, "how can we make this about 80% slower across the board"? Especially at the start of a new show, when we're still learning how all the elements fit together -- and even if it initially sounds okay to me. Because it's not about me, it's about the person we're trying to coax into this world. Audio is one of the few mediums where we get to take our time. TV networks tend to push for constand dialogue/action, and acting in so many mediums means pushing for realism that drives towards "fast and thrown away". I love that audio gets to be, uniquely, a "take your time" type of medium. Injecting time between transitions, or spacing out your dialogue and in-scene action a little more, doesn't detract from all the ambitious things you may otherwise be doing with your sound. So that's the thought of the day, in what I hope I can keep up as a daily series. I'm so grateful that so many of you have followed me so soon, before I've had the chance to really say or do anything of interest here, and I feel compelled to try to earn the kindness you've already shown! If there are any questions or themes you'd like to throw my way, I'd really love that. I get to spend most of my days actively working on audio drama for most of them, and I'd love to share the many wonderful things I get to learn from the extremely talented rooms I get to be in.

Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost.
