Hello dear listener!
OH THE HORROR!
What a treat to speak to some of the most brilliant folks working in audio drama creation - I have had the utter utter pleasure of producing and directing a piece for WIRELESS THEATRE called THE BLOODY LIFE OF R. M RENFIELD by MARTY ROSS - who has written and adapted such brilliance as MOBY DICK, OLIVER TWIST, BLEAK HOUSE…AND MUCH MORE… And stars
*****HARRY MYERS
*****SARAH WHITEHOUSE
Who are both utterly fantastic - yes utterly is the over used word of this day - groovy huh
Joining us is one of the fantastic sound designers of the show and Broadcast Assistant FIONA THRAILLE who with the also superbly talented OLIVER MORRIS did a phenomenal job on the sound design and vibe and horror of this show. HRE THEM BOTH!
In this chat we explore
* Origins of the script with Marty
* Top acting tips from Harry and Sarah
* Foley fun with Fiona
* And so much more!
Please do hunt down this production here on the Wireless Theatre website and have a browse of the site too - so many super shows to enjoy! And do drop Harry, Sarah W, Fiona and Oli a line to share any thoughts once you have listened!
If you can spare a moment, please do rate and review that show and THIs one - it would help folks find it and, for INDIE AF it is always joyous to find this is a helpful pod in other folks' creation flow! I hope you are inspired to level up your own creating with some top tips from the coal face herein!
*****Thank you for listening!*****
