The Dreamer’s Thread Cast

In order of appearance

TDT: You wanna help?

by // 2 Comments

You would think by now I would have the entire story cast, yes?

Well, if you do think so, you’d be very wrong.

The thing is, I worry about all the big parts first, as they are the most difficult to cast. They can be time consuming if the characters appear in every episode, and maybe that person you think has THE perfect voice just doesn’t have that kind of time available. It’s also finding the right voice that’s difficult. I spent many hours listening to other podcasts to find just the right person for a major character. For some it was easy. I knew immediately with Cheyenne Wright and Philippa Ballantine. If either of them had said no I’m not sure what I’d have done. ^^;

LOL. What do you mean, that’s not the news you were expecting? I thought it was exciting!

Alright, alright. Here it is.

Cast updates and such

by // Leave a Comment

Wow. What a great week! I added myself to Brian Rathbone’s Twitter Fantasy List (which includes writers, podcasters, etc) and discovered a whole new group of uh-mazing folks. I started following several of them and got a great shoutout from Mr. Rathbone himself. Thanks to his list, I have two new additions to the cast of The Dreamer’s Thread and a lot of stress taken off my mind!

Splice and Dice

Today marks another milestone for TDT. Audio production on episode one officially began today! While recording has been proceeding on several ends, today we finally had all the necessary clips from all the voices from episode 1 to begin putting it all together. YAY! This means that the very first episode should be good to go by the end of the week at the very latest! We are, however, holding off release until we’ve got a few episodes in the can. Most of the audio is sitting in files waiting to be stuck together with superglue, but there are a few bits missing from further episodes that have me biting my nails hoping that they show up in my inbox in the next few days.

Hello from Vacationland!

First of all, Texas is hot. And when I say hot, I don’t mean, “man I could really use a nice tall glass of water about now” hot, I mean “it’s so hot my face melted as soon as I stepped outside” hot. And everyone knows that when it’s ONE HUNDRED AND SIX DEGREES out there, that, of course, is the time when outdoor nature type activity is the best, right?

Schedule Update

by // Leave a Comment

Okay, so July first might have been a touch overzealous as a launch date. I knew that when I said it. It might have been doable if it was just me doing the reading, but since it’s become a full cast recording, it was inevitable that the schedules of others would not allow for such a close deadline. Right now, the summer con season has artist Cheyenne Wright caught up in commissions, not to mention actual travel, so recording for his lines will not be able to start until the week of July 1st. And since his part is so integral to the story, we are setting the schedule around him. With luck, we can still launch in July, but I’d rather do it right and later than crappy and quickly.

And, all this is fine, as it turns out I’m actually going out of town for a few weeks myself. Hopefully by the time I get back I’l have lots of audio and promo stuff to work on.

So that is how it stands. Things are starting to come together and I am very happy with the progress.
