SFFaudio News

BrokenSea Productions Presents: Escape From New York – CASTING CALL

Escape From New York

Have you got the voice chops to do an impression of Kurt Russel’s impression of Clint Eastwood?

I wonder who they’ll get to play Ernest Borgnine’s “cabbie” role. Maybe Earnest Borgnine is available?

This is going to be a 5-part audio adaptation of the movie with a possible series of ORIGINAL adventures to follow sometime after that.

The DEADLINE for AUDITIONS is: January 25, 2008 4pm central standard time.

The United States is in the midst of fighting World War III with no end in sight to the globe spanning conflict. ALL sides have used Nuclear Weapons and the world at large has been rocked by the might of these instruments of HOLOCAUST…

While the war rages, the homeland of the United States has another PROBLEM. America has been ravaged by an ever growing and previously unimaginable crime-rate. To combat this upsurge the entire island of Manhattan has been converted, by Presidential order, into a walled PRISON…

There are no guards inside the prison: Only prisoners and the worlds they have made….

The rules are simple. Once you go in, you don’t come out….

Blake’s 7 on BBC 7

The second one hour show of the new Blake’s 7 audio drama series has just aired!

Comments about Blake’s 7 audio drama…

“Its great that Blake’s Seven is back on the BBC. Hearing the stories as one hour blocks rather than 5 min bits is so much better!” -Kally_1978

“Very well done BBC7 for this purchase from sci-fi. And for broadcasting it in substantial one hour chunks. Thoroughly enjoyed the first episode. A very neat ‘reimagining’ (horrible word)of the origin tale. Looking forward to the next chapter.” -rosewizard

“I have to say, I was impressed. It’s played straight – none of the tongue-in-cheek nonsense that spoils so much science fiction. And I was delighted that there was some effort at scientific accuracy. The space travel element is well worked out, they don’t assume that all spaceships have artificial gravity…” -Blue_Biro

And these folks are dead-on, this show is super slick. The program shines in the 1 hour format. If you were a fan of the original tv series you’ll absolutely love this re-imagining. I hope these adventures continue past just these three shows.

U.K. Audio Drama Podcast: Estalvin’s Legacy

SFFaudio Online Audio

SFFaudio Challenge entrant Paul Campbell (he’s working on Rebels Of The Red Planet) has been podcasting his Science Fiction audio drama series Estalvin’s Legacy since early this summer. This promising series features “Mystery, Adventure, Romance, Disaster and War across Alternate Realities” – all that and a cast of a dozen U.K voice actors! There are three episodes out so far. I’ve listened to the first, it drops you straight into the middle of a cast of complex characters with a backstory that begins to be revealed – very promising! And Estalvin’s Legacy has possibly the best tagline for an audio drama series I’ve ever heard:

“The universe exists – for now.”

Have a listen to the slick promo |MP3| and then check out the series itself…

Estalvin’s Legacy
By Paul W. Campbell; Performed by a full cast

Ranging across the many parallel, and not so parallel, alternate realities of the Cossmass. Things aren’t right in the greater reality know as the Cossmass. It encompasses thousands upon thousands of alternate realities. The stability of the Cossmass has been weakening. The collapse of an entire reality stream is no longer a mere theory. The Kalsorin have an uneasy truce with the La’Shareti. Both have influence across several Reality Clusters. But the Kalsorin are keeping a secret from the La’Shareti that would bring a war that they could not win. In a remote Cluster: Nicolas is older than he looks, and his memory is fading fast. Sarah and Peter have only known each other a short time when Liam appears. Liam has travelled the Cossmass for many years, always keeping out of sight of the Kalsorin. Until now.
