As I mentioned back in August, one of my recent audio fiction roles was playing a slice of upper Midwestern wholesomeness in the form of Deputy Ray Lester. It was all the more fun considering the distinct unwholesomeness of what goes down in and around this little American town (like many horror podcasts, this is not broadcast-friendly). So, feel free to check out the trailer below, check out the rest of the fabulous cast and…
I’m happy to say I’m in another interesting audio fiction project that’s going into production. “Havana Syndrome” is being written and directed by award-winning storyteller Lisette Alvarez and promises to be audio spy-fi on a global scale. “But wait,” you say. “Isn’t ‘Havana Syndrome’ the name of something that really exists?” Yes! If you vaguely remember there being an attack on American personnel in Cuba by some heretofore unknown sonic weapon (or… something), that’s where…
I’m working on a few more audio fiction productions this year… even as I’ve been working on the next installment of my own. But I recently finished recording a character I really enjoyed playing. Those of you who’ve been around the upper Midwest have probably run into someone like Deputy Ray Lester… and if you like like some audio horror, then you’ll like Partial Veil… though I will say it’s way more “TV-MA” than what…
I’m very happy to announce an audio fiction gig I did some moons back, Clutch, is coming to the podwaves… today! I am part of a huge and very talented cast — and the mini-series all comes from the mind of Kennedy Phillips, whom some of you may know from Magus Elgar. But you don’t have to take my word for it! Listen (and take a look at) the many wonderful and wonderfully silly characters…
I’ve been fortunate enough to record parts for several audio fiction pieces this year and the first one to drop hits me right in the vintage radio feels. It’s a great reworking of a episode of Escape starring perennial Gunsmoke voice actor and the iconic Paladin of Have Gun, Will Travel, John Dehner. Escape is one of my favorites of those old shows and is similar to the more long-running, better known anthology show Suspense.…
I swear it was just last year that I has a couple small parts in a thoughtful science fiction, but I checked and season one of Apollyon came out in 2021. Well, season two just premiered last week and you’ll me as Riley a few times in the season… but really, you’ll want to tune in to find out what main character Theo Ramsey will do after the revelations of season one. Also, I have…
Zounds! After many a voiceover self-promotion, I get to do a writing self-promo! All seven or nine regular blog readers know that I do write plenty of audio fiction, given my periodic but consistent mention of my space opera Rogue Tyger, the implied adaptations of various folk tales and spooky tales, and occasional rampant, all-around silliness. But amid all these screenplays and essays here (and endless posts about Star Trek), there haven’t been any short…
I’ve mentioned previously I have a couple roles in Apollyon, a drama about dealing with a pandemic in a world 150 years from now. I can be heard in the first episode and, now, this one. If you’re a fan of thoughtful sci-fi, you may well enjoy this. I’m very happy to have been a part of it. This role was rewarding in a special way because, when I mention I’ve had to deal with…
Those of you who know I grew up listening to vintage radio will understand that I jumped at the chance to provide a radio announcer voice for that era… and I’m very happy that it’s part of the short film Desolate Dreams, being developed now by filmmaker Kiyoka Rhodes and a fantastic team. Besides the video, be sure to check out their website to learn more about the people working to bring this film to…
Jabberwocky Audio Theater has been one my main creative outlets in the past few years, which has been simultaneously challenging and fortuitous during the pandemic. It’s challenging, because one of things we like to do is bring everyone together to record at the same time, an old school method that served many a vintage radio show well for decades. Now we needed to account for various different home recording set-ups, where even equally good home…
