[podcastjam]

for any new audio drama creators who’ve ever worried about acting in their own shows because they don’t want to hear themselves, let me tell you this:

having to edit your own voice lines is the best inoculation you can get against hating your own voice

it might not make you love it, but doing it for even just a few episodes is often enough to turn your feelings from “oh ew i sound like that??” to “this is just another set of noises i have to get through ughh”

Reblog so everyone can hear what they need.

[podcastjam]

writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

[podcastjam]

We're really excited to hear more from this slew of galactic couriers! Be sure to give this trailer and their first one a listen if you haven't already :)

Interview - Teaser 02

With the release date of the first episode of Valdivian's Finest around the corner, we've got another teaser for you!

There's something that needs to be said to Audio Drama creators/VAs/Sound People/Storytellers in general. It's sappy, but I'm saying it. Because I felt like it. Because I appreciate you. This is for you, from me, Lemon. (subtitles are in the video!)

Cast announcements for the pilot!

Yesterday (April 6th) marked the start of Podcast Jam 2024 and we are very excited to share the cast we put together!

JustJenah as Annette Culligan!

Jenah (they/them) loves stories in all forms but most especially audio dramas. When they are not actively falling in love with nearly every short lived queer tv show they can get their hands on, you can find them geeking out over their favorite podcasts, attempting to increase their deadlifts over 200lbs, flailing their hands at every jump scare as they play survival horror games, tempting friends to play Settlers of Catan, and grilling up pizzas in all weather.

Jenah’s socials: @ JustJenahHere on twitter and BlueSky @theyofmanyvoices on tumblr

Cody Heath as Eric Sanders!

Cody (they/them) is your friendly neighborhood non binary voice actor by day, Bassist of Elsewhere! and Photographer also by day!

Cody’s socials: @ codyvmwastaken on twitter @ paperchest on instagram

Louis Wolf as Finn Culligan!

Louis (he/they) is an avid bird enjoyer and disabled art student who is passionate about storytelling of all forms but has a particular love for DnD and comics. Besides ttrpgs, he’s been known to geek about Superman with encyclopedic knowledge.

Louis’ socials: @louis-dc @ ItsLouis_W on Twitter @ __louis.scott__ on instagram

Wes Marin as Fisher Culligan!

Wes (they/she/he) is a writer, poet, singer, and student living on the California coast. They’ve been a long time audio drama fan, but this is their first project that’s gotten off the ground. They are a self proclaimed mermaid expert, which is needed for this oceanic project. They dabble in music and singing as well as cosplay and other performance hobbies. They are really excited to share Working Tidal and make new friends along the way!

Wes’ socials: @aplaceinwhichtoswim @ WesMarinB on twitter

Gem Aydin as Riley Culligan

Gem Aydın (they/them) is an intersectionality lawyer and a human rights activist. As big nerd with academic hearts, they love to learn, explore, and teach in their unique way. Ever since they listened to their first audio drama, they wanted to express their art in this medium and created 400 Words A Horror with friends to learn to make an audio drama. They are not just the voice of Haven in 400WAH but also sound design and co-run the show. Quick to learn and develop, they started auditioning for voice acting. Autistic of many trades, master of ADHD, Gem keeps on looking ways to learn different things and better what they know so far.

Gem’s socials: @gemaydin https://linktr.ee/gemaydin

Tatiana Gefter as Marnie!

Tatiana (she/they) is a PNW native who can be found haunting fiction podcast and ttrpg spaces all over the internet. You may recognize her as the creator and lead voice actress of Soul Operator, a narrative fiction and actual play fusion. You also catch her as Violet Lull in The Department of Variance of Somewhere Ohio, Marigold in season two of Tales from the Fringes of Reality, Helen Hartley in Woe.Begone, and many more places. For a full list of her credits, please check out her resume via her twitter.

#pbc podcast jam #podcast jam #event update

[podcastjam]

An event update was posted for Jam participants over in the Discord, be sure to check it out if you haven't already. Two weeks remain until the start of the jam, when teams can hit the ground running with pilots!🎉

#event update #pbc podcast jam #podcast jam

[podcastjam]

I do think it's worth saying that you don't have to participate in the jam in a "big" way. There's been numerous people I've seen and spoken to that hesitate simply because they know they can't contribute to the majority of a project. Maybe your schedule doesn't allow for it, or the idea of taking on the fundamental part of a project is too intimidating -- it's okay, and total devotion to the event isn't required or expected.

Let people know that you can only take on a minor VA role to record a few lines for your project, or even join as a writer, but just to proofread the script and offer suggestions for your team, or a hundred other small ways that may not feel vital, but are still incredibly beneficial and welcomed.

If time is all that's holding you back from joining, it's worth trying to find a way to participate that works for you. We'd love to have you :)

Participant sign-ups for the 2024 Podcast Jam close this Saturday, March 23, 2024!

If you're unfamiliar, the @podcastjam is a collaborative event hosted through our Discord server, intended to help bridge the gap between listening to podcasts and creating one!

Over the next couple months, teams are collaborating to write, voice, edit, and make music for the pilot episode of a new podcast. It's been incredibly fun so far, and, once again, not to late to join in on the party!

Feel free to check out our website for more information, or head right on over to the Discord. Hope to see you there!

#podcast jam #cheering everyone on! #& if you realize later it still won't work out we have a way for you to drop from the event :) no worries #pbc podcast jam

[podcastjam]

If you're participating in the Jam and haven't joined the Discord server yet, please do so as soon as possible! All communication during the event will take place through Discord, so being in the server is a requirement to participate.

Emails were just sent out to all of the current signups who aren't yet a member, so if that applies to you, check your inbox for the link or join here!
