Book Synopsis
Bombs Always Beep - Creating Modern Audio Theater is a comprehensive exploration of the production process behind modern audio narratives. Podcasts have facilitated a renaissance of independent audio-only series, and they are rapidly expanding.
First, find a story that benefits from the aural perspective. Second, understand how to tailor the narrative for an audio-space and translate those ideas into a script. Audio theater is an entirely different medium and can be unforgiving. If one concept is misunderstood, you lose your listener. Confusion is the killer of audio dramas.
Then comes many more stages: fundraising, budgeting, filling crew positions, casting voice actors, scheduling, directing talent, recording, post-production, and distribution. Sounds like a lot? It is, but it’s all broken down through this step by step guide.
