An audio drama, built in sound.

Audio drama is theatre for the ear. Actors, effects and music carry the story, so the sound design is the picture.

What the format is

Scripted scenes with actors, sound effects, music and silence, produced as episodes or a season.

How an episode is shaped

A structure that tends to work:

  • Write a script with sound cues.
  • Record actors one by one or together, with clean tracks.
  • Build scenes with effects and ambience.
  • Mix for headphones.

What production involves

This is the most demanding format. Dialogue has to be clean, effects must be cleared or created, and the mix has to guide the listener's imagination.

  • Separate tracks for each actor.
  • Rights for every effect and music piece.
  • A mix check on headphones and speakers.
