Rem you should - if you are not aiming for this to be a hobby but level up and make a living - START TO PAY YOURSELF!
NEWT ADVOCATES
When you crowd fund and are sound designing AND producing, PAY YOURSELF FOR THOSE ROLES....It sets a 'good precedent for all of us' in the space going forward. 'It has ripple effects'......
The BRILLIANT theme tune is made by SIR Oliver OF Morris. FIND HIM HERE DOO!
Rem you don't have to give context as to why the show is a recording - David said....
'..When a lot of people write radio drama or audio drama they feel the need to explain why its a radio drama ...why its an audio drama....when..YOU DON'T HAVE TO FO THAT! Just got for it...you know...'
The BRILLIANT theme tune is made by SIR Oliver OF Morris. FIND HIM HERE DOO!
MADDY THINKS 'Absolutely anyone can be a game master... its a weird mixture of both planning and being in the moment and improvising - so, being able to have a plan, and meticulously kind of get all these details down and make a world feel real, but then be able to throw it away in an instant when a player does something extra interesting, that you want to follow that instead...'
