Why should you as a visitor to TVWriter™ be interested in making audio fiction? Why should you be interested in making podcasts? Discoverability, that’s why.
The meaning of the word podcast is evolving to include any episodic, audio-only production whether nonfiction or fiction. Agents and major studios have started trawling through podcasts and their creators for new content and talent.
The writer behind three of the most popular audio dramas now available tells us how to move audiences using nothing more than dialog and sound.
I had the chance to talk with K. A. Statz, co-founder of Fool & Scholar Productions and writer for the podcasts The White Vault, Liberty, and Vast Horizon.
EDITOR’S NOTE: TVWriter™ legendary Contributing Editor Emeritus Herbie J Pilato uses a very alluring title to teach us a valuable showbiz and life lesson.
Years ago, I directed a musical for a local theatre community, spending weeks auditioning countless actors, singers, and dancers of all ages. A diverse group of talented performers gave their all during the process, and of course, I could only narrow it down to a chosen few who would win the various lead and supporting roles. But it soon became clear who would round out the cast.
Now here’s a person well worth knowing about. This is a long video but worth every minute of your time for oh so many reasons.
Thanks to Bellarina!
In case you were partying too much and missed them over Super Bowl weekend.
