 The Spoony Bard's Aural Theatre What This Is Supposed to Be: My girlfriend and I are attempting to create serial drama adaptations of retro video games. We're using music and sound effects from the game, and every word of dialogue is taken right from the original script. The only thing added is the narration, provided by Girlfriend. I do all the male voices, she does the female voices. The first game we're doing is Final Fantasy IV. We're using the English translation that was provided in the Playstation 1 release of Final Fantasy Chronicles. [  The only episode we've created so far is Final Fantasy IV from the beginning up until Rydia joins the party. I would really, really, really appreciate it if someone would provide some feedback to us. She is a dramaturg and has tremendous experience in script adapting and theatre but neither of us have ever done anything like this. We basically got a microphone, downloaded Audacity, and she sat down with the Playstation and started playing and writing a script. We're not voice actors. We're doing our best, and surely we'll improve as this goes, but we could use some feedback, advice, criticism. Please, if you listen to this and think this is a good idea or whatever, leave us a comment on the website or on our Facebook page! It will really go a long way to helping us mold this project into something great. Get it: Soundcloud | Website Genre: Video Games/Radio Drama Duration: 45 minutes Release: Right now we only have the one episode, and we're working on the second. If all goes well, once that is finished and we have some of this refined, we intend to release an episode every two weeks. Goons: Just me. Social etc: Twitter | Facebook

We're about halfway through Final Fantasy IV, so it seemed like as good a spot as any for something like this. We're both working full time jobs and we had a lot going on this week so we didn't really have time to finish Episode 05 as much as we wanted to. In this extra long episode, we talk about the birth of this podcast, some of our background in this sort of thing, the weird little details we've implemented in the podcast that seem like maybe nobody but us will ever even know we went to all the trouble for, and also some bloopers and such. We also talk about our trip to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, which was superfun awesomebutts.

greatn posted:Would you be interested in having more people record voices for you? Since it is prescripted someone could send you lines ahead of time, might make your life easier not having to modulate the voices as much. We are absolutely wanting some people to do more voice work. We're going to finish off FFIV with just the two of us since we've already established all the characters, but every subsequent game we do we're going to get a cast together before we start. If you're interested and have an okay mic (doesn't have to be super great, but something better than an XBox headset thing) send us a message on Facebook!

The Spoony Bard's Aural Theatre What This Is Supposed to Be: If you can imagine those old timey radio serial dramas, but instead of doing an original story with actors and a studio and foley artists, it's my girlfriend and I adapting a video game script using the game's original music and sound effects. We're taking the script from the game, exactly as it was written, and the only thing we're adding is narrative dialogue to give it context. All the words spoken are exactly as they are spoken in-game, even if that makes it seem rather bizarre at times, either due to localization issues or just the nature of the medium. This first season we're doing Final Fantasy IV, as it was localized in the Final Fantasy Chronicles Playstation 1 game. Episode 07: The Tower of Babil  Here is the episode Well, this is three loving days late because I'm sick as a dog and couldn't get my poo poo together. I also couldn't walk straight or stand up for too long. But anyway, it got done, here it is, I'm sorry! In this episode, we move on from the Tower of Zot and enter a different tower, the Tower of Babil. Here, it is said, lies the means to unlock the power to the MOON or some such. There's only one crystal left, and the Dwarves, the people of Eblan, and the Baron Kingdom must unite to stop the evil Golbez from finding it and doing whatever the hell he thinks he's going to do! We've come a long way from Cecil the Dark Knight butchering a village. Oh, and loving RYDIA returns! But also we lose some of our favorite heroes in this episode.

All the words spoken are exactly as they are spoken in-game, even if that makes it seem rather bizarre at times, either due to localization issues or just the nature of the medium. This first season we're doing Final Fantasy IV, as it was localized in the Final Fantasy Chronicles Playstation 1 game. Episode 08: The Land of the Summons  Here is the episode In this episode, we spend the entirety in the Underworld, hanging out with dwarves and monsters. Edge is a prince of Eblan -- a NINJA prince. When he's not hitting on Rydia, he's getting killed in battle because he's so God drat useless. But he has good reason to come along and help us secure the final crystal -- that weird doctor we met in the last episode has transformed the prince's parents into monsters! Even Rubicant, the last of the four fiends of elements thinks that's wildly excessive. We're getting close to the denouement of this season. The path to the Moon is going to be opened and the last of the crystals is in jeopardy! Also: dudes. I've been spending the last month or so working on the script for what will be Season 2 or Season 3. It's classic Fallout 1. I've just finished Episode 08 (out of...let's say, a maximum of 12 episodes) and that's over 70,000 words. To give you perspective, that's like two Great Gatsbys. Although perhaps not as well written. Well, not quite as well written. Anyway, this first season was just mostly Girlfriend and I doing everything, and it existed both as a passion project for something we love, but it also existed as a proof of concept, and since we (more or less) know what we're doing now, our next adventure is going to be much more intricate and ambitious. Girlfriend wants to do a Shin Megami Tensei game, and it's one I've never played and from what I can see it's a pretty straightforward, linear game not unlock Final Fantasy IV. But she's working on the FFIV script as we do the podcast, so we probably will just transition right into Fallout, first. But in any case, for either game we need more voice actors. Girlfriend does a lot of community theatre stuff, so we have some local actors who will be happy to lend their voices, but Fallout has a stupidly huge extensive number of NPCs that have many lines of dialogue. So if YOU guys want your voice to be in Fallout, let me know! You can e-mail us at thespoonybardpodcast@gmail.com or message us on twitter @thespooniest. When I finish the script, I'll have the entire thing online in a handy spreadsheet that will breakdown each character and how many lines they have. You don't have to do a silly voice or anything, you just have to have an okay mic. Like, it doesn't have to be a professional studio setup, but it needs to be better than the XBox Call of Duty thing or whatever. So, anyway, more on that later. Right now, let's visit THE LAND OF THE SUMMONS! Get it: iTunes | Libsyn | Website | RSS Genre: Video Games/Radio Drama Duration: 50 minutes. Release: The 1st and the 15th of every month.

The last crystal is right there, ready for the taking, as long as nobody betrays anyone. If all else fails, there's a whale that can take us to the moon. Only a few episodes of this season left, and then it's on to Fallout. I've finished writing a 100,000 word script and will be recording many actors who will play about 138 total characters.

Episode 10: To the Moon  Here is the episode We're two weeks late because of, you know, real life stuff. This is highly unprofessional, but we both work full time jobs AND my partner is doing theatre stuff and other things. I'm just generally lazy. But next season (coming up soon!) we have it set up to where this is not likely to happen. We're amateurs, please believe in us! Anyway, we're sorry about the delay. It's weird to be so popular that someone asks why there isn't an update. I mean, it was only one person, but it was a person who isn't family! That's progress! Holy smokes. Anyway, this episode, we finally get to the moon! And here comes a whopper of a plot twist that maybe won't surprise anyone because it's kind of a cliche but for 10 year old credburn this was like Vader's paternal revelation.

Episode 02: The Hub and Vault 15  Here is the episode What a nightmare. This week found my partner and I moving and also working and also we're in plays and also a bunch of other poo poo. I actually worked on this only two days and had to rush it out, and it kind of shows. Well, please forgive the awkward quality; I'll upload a better version when I have time. This is still very listenable, by the way. The only problems are, like...Natalia needs to be re-voiced because we used the temporary stand-in lines as we had not time to do others. They're not all bad, but sometimes it's clear the two actors in conversation have imagined the scene differently. Also some of the narration is weird; part of this podcast's mechanic is to preserve the game's faults, including, for instance, this wildly weird conversation wtih one particular guy that just...becomes stupid for no reason. I wanted to cut it, but...I want to leave it, also. Players familiar with Fallout might think, "Oh, it's that guy. I remember him. What a weird conversation."

The Spoony Bard's Aural Theatre What This Is Supposed to Be: A radio-drama-esque reenactment of FALLOUT using music and sound effects from the game and voicing dialogue as it was written when the game came out. Episode 04: The City of the Dead  Here is the episode Phew! I can't explain why, but this episode was by far the hardest one to put together. Fallout's sound effects are handled much more intricately than Final Fantasy. In FF, you just had a kind of "attack" sound effect. In Fallout, you have four: attack lead in, attack, attack connect, target reaction. This one has a good full hour of content! And fifteen minutes of my partner and I talking. You can skip to about 3:45 in if you want to skip our preamble ramble. Thanks to all you wonderful goons for lending your voices.

Episode 05: Purification  Here is the episode Well, Natalia has the water chip, so I guess this is the end of the game. OR IS IT This one is ninety minutes long! Goodness, these are getting bigger every episode. The last fifteen or so minutes is just us two hosts talking about some new developments and uh, honestly just a lot of stuff. You can skip it, of course; there's nothing at the end that pertains to any story development that won't be covered in-show. But it might be worth listening to because we want to encourage listener participation. RPG Rabbit (my co-host and uh, you know. Girlfriend, or whatever) suggests that, if you're following along with this, maybe you want to talk about this particular part of the game, or the game as a whole, or whatever. Write us, post on our Facebook, tweet us. The idea of further participation is fun, and when this podcast becomes super famous you'll have had your stuff read on-air in the earliest incarnation of it. Oh, and we reached a milestone: WE HAVE AN iTUNES AVERAGE SCORE. All that means is enough people rated us to make that show up. It's hardly an achievement, but for us it's very cathartic.

The Spoony Bard's Aural Theatre What This Is Supposed to Be: A radio-drama-esque reenactment of FALLOUT using music and sound effects from the game and voicing dialogue as it was written when the game came out. Episode 10: The Master  Here is the episode It took more than a month longer to get this finished than it should have. Sorry about that, those of you who listen to this. There's no real excuse for it; it takes a lot of work and a lot of real life stuff got in the way and you know, some other stuff and things. Anyway, this is the penultimate episode of the season: in two weeks (probably!) will come the final episode. In this one, Natalia and a small army head to the cathedral to get to the bottom of this cult and its connection to the Master and the mutants. And thanks again to all the goons who have contributed! I wish I was better at keeping up with this. I'm new at this; next time I will do better. But really, this project couldn't have existed without your help. The next thing we're doing is a smaller Warcraft one, and hopefully the Skies of Arcadia season will be about finished by the end of that, but between that and the next, or maybe before, maybe after, I'm going to do Soul Blazer. It's a pretty short SNES RPG. The thing is, there's only really two characters -- God ("The Master" -- unrelated to the Fallout episode) and the Narrator. Then there are like a thousand other characters, which include people, animals, plants, and even furniture, but they only have one or two lines. So if you're interested in voicing a loving lamp or some poo poo, let me know; that won't be for a while, but it'd be good to get your contact information for when I need to blitzkrieg you with last-minute requests for line readings. My e-mail is calvinredburn at gmail etc etc. Anyway, Fallout, Episode 10... Get it: iTunes | Direct download | Website | RSS Genre: Video Games/Radio Drama Duration: About an hour and a half.

The Spoony Bard's Aural Theatre What This Is Supposed to Be: A radio-drama-esque reenactment of FALLOUT using music and sound effects from the game and voicing dialogue as it was written when the game came out. Episode 11: Vats of Goo  Here is the episode The final episode of Fallout! Jesus Christ this took forever. I'm sorry, this was supposed to be every two weeks, not every two months, but real life has been very...well, excuses, you know. Anyway, if you're following along, this is the final run of the game. Natalia is heading onward to Mariposa to blow up the mutant facility, but she needs to stop and take care of some other stuff, first. Then there's epilogue, some stats, some other stuff. Thanks everyone who helped -- this podcast isn't ending, we just need to figure out how to do the next season! It's so much work, and we work full time, and I'm also writing a book, and my partner is an actor...I wish we could just get paid to do this, but we're not so Internet-famous yet to have Patreon help us. We don't open eggs on Youtube or anything :\ Get it: iTunes | Direct download | Website | RSS Genre: Video Games/Radio Drama Duration: About an hour and a half. Release: This is the last episode!

 The Spoony Bard's Aural Theatre Last year my partner and I did a multiple-episode radio-drama-esque reenactment of Final Fantasy IV and Fallout 1. We're currently working on a 9-episode run of Soul Blazer, but in the meantime I wanted to try this other project out. I think this is going to appeal to a real niche of person -- like me. You know, there's that saying...if you can't find what you want, then make it. Or... it's something like that. The message is clear. This is a kind of radio drama reenactment of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. Yeah, the real time-strategy.     Basically, this is an attempt to adapt nostalgia into a slightly different medium. We've described our podcast as a kind of "let's play for the ears" and that may be the most true in this example. Anyway, maybe it sucks, maybe not, but if you like it, let me know or let me know how I can improve it. Get it: http://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/ The first four episodes of Warcraft: http://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/01-orcs-01-the-swamps-of-sorrow Orcs mission 01 http://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/02-orcs-02-borderlands Orcs mission 02 http://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/04-humans-01-regent Humans mission 01 http://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/04-humans-02-grand-hamlet Humans mission 02 Genre: Video Games/Radio Drama Social etc: Twitter | Facebook

The Spoony Bard's Aural Theatre RSS | Website  Series 03: Soul Blazer, Episode 01: Grass Valley Genre: Radio Drama Duration: around an hour Release: 1st and 15th of the month My girlfriend and I adapt old video games into radio dramas. We use local theater actors and generous online people to contribute their voices for the characters within the story. All the dialogue, music and sound effects are taken right from the game; this is an adaptation of the game, voiced in the style of like a fairy tale or something. It's almost kindasorta like a Let's Play but for your ears. Soul Blazer was an SNES action RPG. Like Diablo, kinda, if you're not really a gamer? The first episode of this seven-episode series takes place in Grass Valley, a lovely little mesa with goats and evil. There were a lot of people who voiced these silly lines; some of them came from here, I think? This is the third game we're doing; the first two were Final Fantasy IV and Fallout 1. So I guess go check those out if you think this is neat. And tell all your friends how neat this is. credburn fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Oct 18, 2019 |

 Hey, my girlfriend and I and her theatre nerd friends have been reading Choose Your Own Adventure books. We're playing them in the vein of a kind of roguelike adventure, and I've added music and sound effects to make the ridiculous adventures even more ridiculous. We've done four so far. They're simple to do. Maybe we'll do all 180+ books? Episode 001: The Abominable Snowman Episode 002: Journey Under the Sea Episode 003: Space and Beyond Episode 004: The Lost Jewels of Nabooti

The Spoony Bard's Aural Theatre RSS | Website  A bunch of Choose Your Own Adventure adventures! Genre: Radio Drama, Video Games, Theatre We adapt retro video games into derpy radio theatre. We're working on putting together a very large project, but while we wait for some of those things to come together I got this VERY ORIGINAL IDEA that we should "play" Choose Your Own Adventure games. We recorded one a long time ago and then I forgot about it, and then discovered that this isn't really much of an original idea and in fact there are like a thousand podcasts that do this and have done this. BUT WE DO SOMETHING NEAT! We add music and sound effects. Oohhhh We've done fifteen so far. Might do all 180 or however many there are. Anyway, here is the RSS link. Since these are so um, low-effort to make compared to our normal thing, I don't want to just look like I'm spamming our thing here. I'll maybe post an update when we have fifteen more! https://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/ These are the episodes we've done so far: The Cave of Time Journey Under the Sea By Balloon to the Sahara (reissued as Danger in the Desert) Space and Beyond "The Mystery of Chimney Rock (reissued as The Curse of the Haunted Mansion)" Your Code Name Is Jonah (reissued as Spy Trap) "The Third Planet from Altair (reissued as Message from Space; also released as Exploration Infinity)" Deadwood City Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey? The Lost Jewels of Nabooti (reissued as The Lost Jewels) Mystery of the Maya Inside UFO 54-40 The Abominable Snowman Mountain Survival Journey to Stonehenge Surf Monkeys

Hey gang! I do a podcast where I and guest(s) read through a Choose Your Own Adventure book. The guests make the choices, and when it's over the episode is over. I add music and sound effects to try and create a sort of theatrical thing. I've done about 37 episodes now. Each episode is on average around 25 minutes? Unfortunately the first like thirty episodes are with my ex, with whom I had an incredibly disastrous breakup, but now I'm just carrying on solo until I can find a new cohost. Come revisit some old Choose Your Own Adventure books; they're better and worse than you remember! E031: The Secret of the Pyramids E032: Escape! E033: The First Olympics E034: The Enchanted Kingdom E035: Hyperspace E036: The Mystery of Echo Lodge E037: Space Patrol E038: Return to Atlantis Here are some rando stats about the episodes: Successes: 17 Failures: 22 Success Rate: 42.74% Most choices made: 10 Least choices made: 1 Average: 4 per episode In the old days there was a release schedule of sorts. Now it's just whenever I can find the time and guests who want to participate. https://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/ credburn fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Oct 2, 2022 |

Hey gang! I used to do a podcast with my (ex)partner where we and a guest(s) read through a Choose Your Own Adventure book. The guests make the choices, and when it's over the episode is over. I'm doing it solo now, and have a few episodes since my last update. I've got two more in the can to be edited. There's no scheduled release date for these things at this point, they're strictly just a hobby thing of mine. Each episode is on average about twenty-five minutes but it varies. The shortest one is nine minutes, the longest is almost an hour. Episode 39: Give Yourself Goosebumps! The Curse of the Creeping Coffin (https://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/give-yourself-permadeth-039-the-curse-of-the-creeping-coffin) Episode 40: Vampire Express (https://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/permadeth-040-vampire-express) Episode 41: Trouble on Planet Earth (https://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/permadeth-041-trouble-on-planet-earth) https://thespoonybardpodcast.libsyn.com/ Hey goons hit me up if you want to participate! You just need a mic. Doesn't even need to be like a great mic. e: by "hit me up" I guess I mean e-mail me: calvinredburn@gmail.com credburn fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Aug 1, 2023 |
