Well, this is just plain ol’ playtime. This is what audio “theater of the mind” is all about. Remember old radio dramas? Here in San Diego, there’s an amateur voice acting group, AVAG. I read about it on Voices.com a while back. The group is organized by fellow voice actor, Dave Johnson. I volunteered to play the title role of Maeko in “Mesmerized”, The facts in the case of M. Valdemar, by Edgar Allan Poe which is now a podcast, produced by Dave Johnson. Alan Zain is the narrator, Paul. Of course I have never met either Dave or my “co-star”. This is just all done with a recorded digital file sent via FTP.
Imagine the fun I had playing of a woman near death, who actually keeps talking after she is dead! Check it out at http://www.davefilms.us/DaveFilms/Podcast/Podcast.html
There is another podcast coming, too. In production is “The Wager”, based on Anton Chekov’s The Bet. The Wager is written by master story teller William Spear of Two Plus Plus Productions. I played Geraldine.
I’d bet Dave would be happy to add to his stable of voice actors for upcoming productions. His contact info is:

Hi Bobbin,
I just listened to Mesmerized… Oh my goodness!
Brilliant voice acting (and narrating) all around. Your role was especially intriguing (and at times, had me shaking in my seat!). The effects used on your voice towards the end were quite spooky.
Looking forward to hearing you in the next production by AVAG 🙂
Brava!
