Audio drama in search of Audio Engineer

So unfortunately I haven't heard from my previous editor for about a month, so Divine Calamity is looking for a new Audio Editor with some previous experience with Audio dramas.

This position is deferred payment, meaning that if the audio drama makes money it will be distributed to all the cast and crew. Upfront payment is not possible due to the creator's tight financial situation. Please keep this in mind before applying.

Now for the requirements of the position:

Needing an editor and Audio Engineer to help add sound effects and background sound to the audio drama. Experience with creating audio dramas preferred along with experience making monster sounds from animal and other sound bytes.

Creator of the audio drama will happily cut and put the lines in sequence for you if desired, to lessen the workload. Creator uses Reaper DAW to do this, you will need a way to convert the Reaper file to your selected DAW for that to work unfortunately.

Alternatively Creator can provide the trimmed lines in MP3s so you'd only need to sequence and add sound effects / ambience.

An Update on "Liars & Leeches"

It’s been a while since we released the finale of our show’s first season. Since then, “Liars & Leeches” has been listened to tens of thousands of times in more than 80 countries, and we couldn't be more grateful for the support we’ve received since its initial release. 

Initially, our plan was to begin pre-production and script writing of our second season in the fall of 2023 and release it this year. However, the past year has been a very long one, full of ups, downs, and some big changes in the lives of our cast and crew. Now that the dust has begun to settle, we’ve been digging deep into the pre-production stage of season two, with the writing of the plot nearly complete and work creating the scripts about to begin. We’re very excited to return with new episodes, and we have big plans for this upcoming season, including expanding our season length, as well as the size of our cast.

To help us with our ambitious goals for the second season, we are launching an Indie GoGo campaign. The pre-launch page for the campaign is currently live, and you can sign up there to receive updates when the full campaign launches. There are a host of rewards available for this campaign, including early access to season two episodes, a Q&A form where you can submit questions to both our season one and season two cast and crew, scripts annotated by our creator, scriptwriter, and sound designer, and an original “Liars & Leeches” short story written by our script writer KJ Scott. For more information on the campaign, you can visit the Indie GoGo link above, follow both our blog and and @hemcreekprod, or sign up for the Hemlock Creek Productions newsletter at www.hemlockcreekprod.com/newsletter.  

Thank you again listeners for all of your support, it truly means a lot, and we can’t wait to return with season two in 2025.

NEW EPISODE! Metropolis, Episode 7!

Nan emerges into the chaos on God’s Plate, only to realize the chaos is gone. Now there’s only silence and a trail of blood. Nothing appears to make sense in Metropolis. But, as Nan is about to learn, perhaps the only thing worse than not understanding Metropolis is understanding it…

If you're an audio drama fan and have some free time this weekend, come check the @podcast-bookclub's inaugural Audio Fiction Convention. This free and virtual convention was created to celebrate all things audio fiction. Plus, I'm going to be speaking on the music, horror, and sound design panels!

[fiction-pod-recs]

In the spirit of @podcast-bookclub Audio Fiction Convention happening this weekend I come here with a little game! Let’s call it Podcasts Alphabet. All you have to do is reblog this post and give a podcast that starts with the next letter of the alphabet, then some else gives podcast with next letter and so on (for example the last podcast is Love and Luck so I give Mockery Manor). Let’s see if we can get a whole alphabet!

I’ll start:

Arden

We're almost halfway through the Perfect Sentence campaign and still sitting solidly at 80% funded. If we hit 85% by the end of the weekend, I'll share a tease of a new song!

It's called Kitchen Sink and it rips.

Anyone interested in a feed swap?

Details below:

I can confidently say we have 4 available windows of time between now and S3 dropping, but likely will end up being slightly more.

Once S3 is out I’m going to put out a similar post for Literally Any And All Shows, but right now we’re kind of looking for shows with similar download numbers/of a vaaaguely similar genre. This is my last chance to do producer things and try to grow our audience before the final season.

We usually get 400 - 800 downloads on a one-month-long feed swap, depending on how well our themes/genre aligns with the other show.

S1 has a median of just over 3000 downloads per episode. And every episode of S2 has over 1000 downloads now.

I’m absolutely in no way looking for these exact numbers. If you’re getting say 400 downloads an ep and you think our shows would be a great match please do still reach out!

If you’re interested please feel free to DM us here/let me know and I’ll reach out to you. Thank you!
