Peace talks with Blender's rendering process have reached a favourable conclusion and the first episode should now be available on both platforms.

I will probably repeat this a lot, but the stories told by the audio drama community have given me more than I could fathom and I am equal parts terrified and excited to try my hand at telling one myself. And the best part is, I am not doing it alone; so far, every episode is set to feature at least one other voice actor breathing life into this synthetic wonderland. Oh dear... I really need to get my scripts in order.

Esteemed listeners may recognise Lou Sutcliffe from titles such as The Kingmaker Histories, Dracula: 2004, Someone Dies in This Elevator or Eeler's Choice. Props to them for using an actual surgical mask for this recording! I am sorry I put you in a room with the analog horror equivalent of the Bogeyman. It was fully premediated. But also an honour.

Enjoy 20+ minutes of corporate chaos! Next up: non-consensual reality checks, the world's most expensive garage project and a potential ally from your average sci-fi office worker's morning commute.

Take care!

I am thrilled to announce that the trailer for Your Name Is Silas is now officially available on YouTube and Spotify. And that is not even the most exciting part!

You will find that, unlike in previous drafts, I am joined by a fellow voice actor, which promptly doubles the size of the cast. From now on, Wynn Ahn (@chaosintended) is the one to breathe life into the ever-charming robotic entertainer Starling — and my goodness do they do a terrific and terrifying job!

As for me, I no longer sound like the Messenger at the end of this trailer and I am slowly gaining my voice back. I cannot be sure how fast things will move past the second episode, but I am hellbent on getting that far as soon as possible, so people can hear Starling in all her glory. See you very soon!

I think I have finally figured out what style I want to edit YNIS in. Although most of the Episode 3 script is done, I want to redo what has already been released accordingly; which I will start doing once I have finished editing the first episode of the other project I am in. Until then, here is a revamp of the trailer with more of the actors included; everyone so far, really!

Take care!

Please give a warm welcome to the returning Wynn Ahn (@chaosintended) as well as Ash Ross-Jordan (@phantomfilmgeek)! They are playing Starling and B-65 respectively, and now I can not only tell but show our dear listeners that this, this is why I wanted to write these characters in the first place. You two are the ones making those narrative foils shine. Additionally, I am set to edit Ash's own project, which I will be happy to advertise here in the not so distant future!

Coming up: reluctant worldbuilding, a case for plastic buttons and the character who single-handedly brings the swear count into the double digits.

Take care!

Deeper and darker, the hollowed night bled through to dawn He'd rattle the trees but they were empty A rain of nests upon the ground Who shot the birdboy And which of us is next? When a handshake from the hunters Won't ever save you from being hunted

Still versions in slightly better quality under the cut.

Today's highlight is:

Inspired by a certain colleague and our late night business calls. Yes, this is an April Fools joke.
