Hallo!



ARE YOUUU REDAYYYYY for more glorious AUDIO FICTION chattarama with the super amazing energy of creative awesome that is CAI GWILYM PRITCHARD of CHAIN OF BEING (and so much more!) (do check out the editing prowess on SUPER SUITS from the FAUSTIAN NONSENSE NETWORK and alllll that gawjus network offers - INDIE AF is very excited to be a part of this groovy network)?!!



so



THIS

IS A JOURNEY



INTO



SOUND

Now

I need to issue a warning that the first audio extract from Cai has some very high tones that may be unpleasant for some listeners, and for other creatures of this known earth that have great hearing like dogs for example so please do check your local environment to see who is listening and adjust accordingly! Thank you - here comes the art…



Well, first, like, this sketch is over 4 mins long - I am just trying to practice my creativity in these things but there is a gentle learning element to them all - this time - CONFUSING GENRES - YAY OR NAY?! If you can get beyond this Funtime sketch (feel free to out loud on your socials call for a whole season of Adventurer and Droid)😂🌞

We talk all things how Cai Writes, we explore how Cai plays and experiments with sounds and share some of that aural grooviness, and we also talk rhe value of the psychadelic, the horror, the politics and the personal. There are so many reasons to love and share this episode - and look out for the random duck squeaks...just for fun! If you spot where they first appear, and let me know of how many there are and what the time code is when they start, then the first to do that will win some QUIRKY VOICES MERCH. Ping your answers to QUIRKYVOICES@GMAIL.COM Woohoo.



I decided to end this whole ep with an absence of sound to give you some think time🥳 I do hope to ping out more eps as soon as life allows. Thank you for your patience - with my new role and IRL being rather hectic, I am doing my very best! Any feedback or thoughts on how this pod can be more useful do let me know - quirkyvoices@gmail.com



ALLLSOOOO...

I have just started a job as Production Manager for Wireless Theatre, and am truly craving some one-off small cast scripts of audio awesome to make and enjoy. You got one? Ping to me sarah@wirelesstheatre.co.uk and huzzahs for creativity!



THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! Please share!

HELLO AUDIO FICTION CREATIVES!



This Indie AF explores mental health issues in creatives and the superbly inspiring Ester Ellis (She / Her) candidly talks about working and creating through bi-polar episodes and times of depression and mania. But! She has found ways to manage the struggle and create such audio gems, and we celebrate some of her works put out into this wonderful world that you - yes you -  can listen to right now.



If you too are struggling, remember Ester’s wise words - 'There’s some gold I can spin out of this…there is good that can come from this…’. There is a lot of positive talk in this episode about creating and understanding mental illness working with and inside and around creativity, and the importance of building a team of folks who can help and understand your own different creative phrases.

Ester also shares some amazing tips on creating and developing AF,  thoughts on being a trans creative in the space, how collaboration is key and how positive the audio drama community seems to be. PLUS - WHY DO WE NEED SHOWRUNNERS AND WHY ARE NEW IDEAS SO TERRIBLE??

We also talk the intricacies of sound design, how Ester learned her craft on the job from knowing nothing to showrunning the grooviest shows, and the learning journey from StationBlue to her current audio  playground.

ALSO

STATION BLUE NEXT SEASON….IS COMINGGGG WOOHOO!

Thank you to my super amazing patreons for their support - I truly am grateful to them all for helping boost my creative confidence and oh moral support is groovy isn’t it?!

Have a great week folks - happy creating and

I cannot wait to share the next ep with YOU

Sarah :)
