Radio Plays (was: Looking for a woman to voice my stories)

Nota Bene:

The original topic of this thread (Looking for a woman to voice my stories) has been moved to the General Board: https://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=220676

This thread is now about Radio Plays... See the next post...

 

[Gary Chambers]

Overheard on a red-eye from N.Y.C. to L.A.

<Coldcocks the air marshal>

Clam down, sit down and shut up! This thread is being hijacked, so everybody stay in your seats and keep quiet. I don't want to hurt anyone...well, I do, but I'll restrain myself if you do as you're told.

The subject of this thread is worthy but too narrow, so here's what we're going to do: it so happens I have written a couple of plays in my time, and made alterations to a number of others. When I saw Angela's request it occurred to me that despite the generous number of categories into which we can submit our filth, there is one category noticable by its absence: drama.

Angela needs dramatic types to help her out, so this thread is likely to attract at least a few people with dramaturgical interests. For some time I've been thinking about writing a bawdy comedy play, and those who have ever written a play will know it's important to have it read by performers in character as part of the editing process. The same people who might be intrigued by Angela's project may also be interested in writing or performing in online plays. A poll on this would be pointless because Laurel, quite rightly, will refuse to add a new category unless there are works to put into it. So this thread is hereby hijacked to include a general discussion of all things theatrical, so that we might measure the interest in writing and producing erotic plays. Of course, that does not preclude any women interested in Angela's project from also posting their responses here.

I see the air marshal is already getting into the spirit of this thing, because he's got his rod out and is waving it about, apparently eager to be the first to audition.

Ahem!

MR Chambers...

This is your captain speaking. Please return yourself to the upright and locked position and stow your alternate topic in the overhead bin.

Keep the isle in front of you clear of dramaturgical matters not related to this project.

In the event of a water landing, or in the event we decide to throw you in the water, your flight attendant may be used as a floatation device.

It is an AAL (Angela's Airline) regulation that all hijackers must comply with Angela's wishes at all times. In this case, that means you are to report to the aft cabin for administrative discipline.

Now where's my paddle?

For the rest of our passengers, you may now resume the original purpose of this thread. As always, thank you for flying with Angela.

LOL,

Now that was an absolutely wonderful chuckle to start my day. thanks Angela and Mr. Chambers

Sounds really interesting Angela, but I have a real low voice, for a female that is. When singing I am requested to please join the men and just hum not too loud.

Now I am in, I can contact mr. Chambers. This would be a new chance at never ending fame and glory.

First of all, your voice sounds very sexy. I had a girldfriend like that once. When she was um, happy, she didn't coo or purr, she growled. It was aural exotica.

As for the fame and glory, you need a Neil Simon or David Mamet for that. My plays have been very small time. One radio play got accepted for national broadcast, but then got spiked due to budget cuts. Writing a play to be performed online might be fun, and you never know where it could lead. In PM's Angela and I are agreed, however, that the search for performers probably needs to go beyond the AH. I also have the problem of having a plate full of work already, but I love theatre and would try hard to make time to work on a play if there was enough interest. (The new avatar is me in costume as Captain Andy in Showboat BTW.) We'll see what luck Angela has finding more performers. With that voice and your sizzling erotic nature, I imagine you would make a great Marlene Dietrich type character.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, it's okay for Anegla to call me Mr. Chambers if she wants because we just met and it was part of our hijack joke, but Tulip, you and I are surely on a first name basis by now.

 

[Black Tulip]

Well, Gary darleenk,

I maybe got ze voice, possibly ze legs (hehehe) but not ze blond hair and blue eyes.

I was not really saying I could be a performer, but I would be interested in checking lines on speakability. (How's that for vocabulary?)

I did play a few years in an amateur company, but that was very very very amateur. A lot of fun though.

Legs don't count for much in radio plays, audio books etc., and with a nick like Black Tulip I have never pictured you as the blonde, blue eyed type. Audio books and plays are quite popular in North America. People buy them at truck stops to listen to as they drive. I haven't seen any erotic ones though, so there's a gap in the market. We'll see what Angela has to say about a husky female voice for her project, but it could certainly work for some characters in an audio drama. I have a friend who has a friend who is a 60--year-old woman. That woman has a sexy voice and has earned money working for a phone sex company. There's no business like show business, Tulip. I like writing for Literotica, but I'm always interested in paying markets too, and that's mostly the way I see the audio market.

 

[gauchecritic]

Once again I fall in love with words on a page, a promise of tenor (or a tenner for any Brits reading) or, heaven forfend, a bass emanating from a female throat.

Tulip, speak, that I may be transported. Growl, and watch as I die.

This is going to be the most complicated project I have ever witnessed on Lit.

Count me in, Gary, if you have use for an unintelligeable broad Yorkshire accent.

Gary, excuse the expression, but I've a bone to pick with you. Why does your friend's age matter here? I am only three years younger than her. I can purr and growl from the depths too.

Ah, yes. Those poet types. Makes me jealous of Tulip.

A deep female voice is great. (Oprah -- I wonder what her voice would sound like telling an erotic tale).

I have moved this thread to the general board. There is a good discussion about voice recordings and some notes about how to get started if you would like. https://forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=220676

Perdita, I would *love* to write a story for you to read if you would consider it. Perhaps you give a 28 year old woman her comeuppance for some snide comment about her age by seducing her lover away from her side. The thought process has all sorts of possibilities.

Or, I would be glad to write to a suggestion if I can.

Angela, that's a fine offer, but reading-wise I've always been told I have the perfect monotone voice. My purrs have to be aroused in the moment.

BTW, I have found little on the voice readings at Lit. that are good. I think voice study and acting are required to read well for audio listening and appreciation. I enunciate and can keep to the basic inflexions of a text but if it's more than a sentence or two it's really plainly monotone.

My voice and others are on this old thread: AH voices

Best, Perdita

Somehow I had imagined your voice to be totally different & now I'm all discombobulated.

Discombobulated is a strong word but tells me nothing. Don't make me go into a depression, please explain.

Perdita

Sorry, not a good word to use to describe how thrown I was. It's along the lines of when a favorite book gets made into a movie. The characters never look or sound the way they do in my head. I think I must have a very active imagination because I have these very specific voices in my head assigned to the people here (& also to the characters in books & those in my favorite Lit stories). I did not mean anything by my comment. You have a very pleasant voice. It just wasn't the voice I hear in my head when I read your posts.

(see, this is why I used to just lurk... I feel like my neurosis are being exposed one by one. )

I'm no spring chicken either Perdita, but surely you will admit when people start paying $1.25 per minute for phone sex, they imagine they are talking to the sleek young thing in the advertisement, not someone in our age bracket. Of course, for those in the know her age doesn't matter at all, which was the point I was trying to make though obviously not clearly enough. Pick my bone? You realise that's, "Will you respect me in the morning?" in Norwegian?

This is going to be the most complicated project I have ever witnessed on Lit.

Gauche

Whoa, Gauche, this is still Angela's thread. She's the only casting director here (though Alan may be lurking somewhere). As I said on an ealier post, my problem is finding time to add yet another ongoing project to the pile. It all depends on whether we have a cast we can write a quick script around. So far we have Tulip, Gauche, Perdita, Minsue, myself and maybe Angela. I asked Angela to let me know if she finds others. Maybe we could make this a chain story. Throw some characters into a thread and get them to add lines and narration? Once we have a script we would need to rehearse by some kind of conference line, then figure out how to record the finished production. Now you've gone and got me excited. That's all I need is another writing project.

- Mindy

I knew what you meant by discombobulated, Min. Perdita needs more British lovers to teach her the language. Shakespeare tried, but he's been dead almost as long as Ogbashan, so he wasn't up to speed with the latest coloquialisms. Raphy's on his own New World adventure and Lewdan is too rude. Gauche, Pops and myself all admit Perdita is adorable, but we're also fickle and unreliable. Perdita gets discombobulated and we're all off at a dog track or some such place, unable to recombobulate her. Oh well, maybe MathGirl will include combobulation in her dictionary to avoid further confusion. Meanwhile, the new standard treatment for neuroses, Min, is the wandering womb adjuster. Simply lay across the couch and relax. This won't hurt a bit.

First of all, the orginal purpose of this thread has been transfered to a thread in the general forum with the same name (Looking for a woman to voice my stories).

Now, about the radio play thing:

The problem I have is that I've never heard a radio play. I've seen/read stories about people doing radio plays but that doesn't help much.

I don't know how to handle the "narration" - or do you make it mostly dialog? If it's dialog, how do you make it erotic?

Maybe the stories would have people talking about sex rather than actually doing anything.

Maybe we have to have lots of sound effects in the backgroud to suggest the action while they're talking to each other. I'm not sure that's such a great idea either.

This stuff is way before my time. In fact my parents were born in the mid 1950's so I don't think they would even remember them. Weren't they pretty much dead by the 1960's?

Sorry if that makes anyone feel old. If I'm young enough to be your daughter, you can spank me now.

I take that to be a "small death".

Watching? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

The perversity of the English.



Angela,

I do remember listening to the radio, tv was not common till mid 60's. You need lots of dialogue and telling each other what you see.

 

[gauchecritic]

There are lots of on-line radio stations that present old and very old radio plays/serials. The only serial I can remember at the moment is Frank Sinatra as Sam Spade(?) or somesuch.

Easy way to search is to use the Media Player radio tuner.
