Synopsis:
Hello there
This the podcast feed for an eclectic and wonderous creative mix of podcasts under the Quirky Voices Presents banner.
Welcome!I have an interview show / MADIVA podcast (Modern Audio Drama Indie Voice Acting) and this is focused on exploring the craft of voice acting through interviews with working Va’s, producers, Showrunners and directors.
Anyone F’Coffee is a women’s health podcast hybrid audio drama / interview show.I wrote it and it stars women who actually suffer from the conditions explored, and are interviewed about it, as well as a medical professional or charity pro interview giving signposting for advice.
Other shows in the feed include TEDDY STORY
Join Lucas and Maisie in wonderful adventures with their Teddies. Journey through portals and magnificent twisting turning and loop the loop slides to far flung places with chocolate houses and dragons and clumsy unicorns and forgetful marshmallow cloud men and Mermaids who are afraid of the water....such fun! Stories narrated by Sarah Golding and with the occasional guest stars....fun times ahead! “Wait for meeee Tedddyyyy!”

BOGEYS AND GHOULIES - SEASON 4 - THE HAT MAN By Sarah Golding (PG 10+)
Mon, 31 Oct 2022 18:00:00 +0000
Hello #KidsHorror Lovers👻☠️🧟🧛🏼♂️🧙🎃
HAPPYYY HALLOWEEN!
Here's a (quite scary) horror story for those 10+ (or parents, guardians ...listen first!) all about
THE HAT MAN.
It is Inspired by a nightmare my daughter had when she was 2 ..ish ...and all she could say was....'Man....Man...Hat man....Black Hat' - it terrified me that she thought a man in a black hat had been staring at her for half the night as she was paralysed in her cot. And so. This story...brewed.
Trigger warnings include...
Peril, Danger of soul being taken, Children being naughty. Child in peril, Paralysis, Whimpering child, Stair Stomping, Gurgling Tummy, Threat from an entity, scary deep voices (manipulated pitch).
The narrator is speaking as if in the house in which this story takes place. Shut your eyes...be brave, and see....the story...
The message to be kind is universal. Maybe do something kind every day to keep the HAT MAN away....
And it goes without saying that
I hope none of you get a visit from
THE HAT MAN
Feel free to review these BOGEYS AND GHOULIES STORIES or ping any artwork or your own stories inspired by this one to

DARE YOU GET PAST THE INTRO
To enjoy
This kids gentle comedy horror story - THE GHOST WHO LOST THER SCARE???
Join the Screamdents at the Great British Scare Sghoul on an original adventure by Sarah Golding (28% scary) AND NARRATED BY Fiona Thraille (30% scary😎) with BOO! The scariest ghost in the sghoul(98% scary) - summoned to the Giant Head Teacher's (Karim Kronfli )(48% scary) office (in total darkness, no...candles...allowed) After being talked to by the coolest meanest Head Ghoul (Meabh De Brun) (33% scary) and her demons, Red, and Blue, Boo whizzes on their way to ....possibly try to scare the Head Teacher. On the way, Boo's darker, naughtier conscience - Blue Boo - speaks, and....they fall out, and the Blue Boo leaves...to cause chaos in another part of the sghoul.
There's a dark dark blue bluer than blue itself (SCREAM) vortex that has started to swallow up the school - and all of year 5, the prefects and...everyone - and Boo knows who exactly is to blame.
Can Boo work with all their other inner thoughts - Happy, Energetic, Tired, Silly and Loving to save the school, and ..themselves? Listen and...FIND OUT!
Thanks to Fiona, Karim and Meabh for jumping on to play such wonderful fun characters, and to the students - screamdents? of St Clement Danes School for doing some of the walla and crowd scenes. Such fffunnnnn!

WE WOULD LOVE to have your artwork inspired by any of the characters - the giant and their office, the head ghoul and her demons, the narrator - all of the Boo's!! The first years fainting, Blue Boo in the - you know what its called - (scream) vortex attaching folks to the far away growing glowing blue walls of doom, the school custard evaporating, the suitcase opening - oh wait - thats in part two!!
Feel free to send us any - or even your own thoughts or scripts on what happened next or before or inbetween (What DID the head teacher chat to the Head Ghoul about in the corridor existing outside of time and space that was a plot hole that was never explained?)

MADIVA PODCAST 406 - Alasdair Stuart and getting noticed, proactive and contract savvy.
Mon, 10 May 2021 23:00:00 +0100
Hello all
Well here we are with ep 406 already and one of my fave creatives who I've enjoyed listening to and reading...joins me for some bantz...and we find out we went to the SAME university....AT THE SAME TIME. So. There's a little bit of fading in and out, as I guess you don't want to hear us regaling stories of crazy student days! (Though patreons had a longer peek!)
Alasdair is one of the groovy elements of electric creativity driving Escape Artists - Pseudopod, Podcastle and mmmoore! He can also be found on pods of awesome like The Rusty Quiil's Magnus Archives, and will soon be with a cool cast on St Kilda so watch out for that gem!
Here we talk all things How to get noticed, why folks should start a blog rather than talk about starting one, and a little on getting contract savvy.
ENJOY!
Thank you for listening folks - and thanks humbly to Alasdair - my St John's alumni pal!
Am v excited to continue to bring you this stellar season of amazing folks who work in audio fiction as VA's producers and coaches and more. Next week, Marguerite Kenner talks about the business side of being a VA.
DO NOT miss it!
Feel free to write to me with any requests for guests or topics, or to let me know what you think of this and other seasons! I'd love a review or two n'all! Thanks folks and
HAPPYYY VOICE ACTINNGGG

THE AMAZIIIIIIIIIING JACK ...BOWMAN!!
And yes, I introduced him like a wizard / magician, because, quite frankly, he is!
I was hugely made up to finally talk to Jack about one of his many hat wearing skills in audio -that of the role of director. In this episode, we discover his way in to directing ( very much from acting routes/roots), his inspirations and his motivations to being the best director he can be, AND share his best practice in seeking out wonderous performances from his casts of audio joy.
There is a treat in store with actual audio from the real life remote recording we did of the brilliant fun horror CIRCLES -Created by Brendon Connelly. Co-written by James Field and James MacDonald (you can listen here to the actual show if ya wanna)
I had a vvvvvv small icicle cameo with the lovely Karim Kronfli and also asked the other folks whose voices you hear, if it was ok to share this (and they said yes!) so you can also hear Tal Minear, and Beth Eyre, who are , quite frankly, LEGENDARY. Thank you to them for their awesome too!
There is an episode 2 to this chat - which is currently with my patreons so doooo join them to hear the next installment STRAIGHT AFTER you've listened to this one if ya wanna!
THANK YOU TO MY PATREONS FOR THEIR FABULOUS SUPPORT. I truly would not have released these episodes without them. FANKS X

Hello All!
WELCOME TO THE MADIVA EP WHERE LAYLA TALKS ALL THINGS LIVE RECORDING IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE AND STUDIO RECORDING ADVENTURES!
What a crazy journey this audio has had - it was recorded last year when things were...so different...and I felt like it was a therapeutic thing to release right now, to reminisce about the live shows nostalgia with Layla Katib, and also to incite you to revisit or make your inaugural listen to one of THE BEST INDIE FICTION SHOWS to come out of the UK in the last few years - VICTORIOCITY (links below).
Layla Katib is one of the loveliest, and talented of folks (hire her, employ her, give her ALLA DA JOBS PEOPLES!) and spoke to me about her Victoriocity journey from audition to live shows and studio recording. There's some great tips here for when we can all revel in the fun and atmosphere of live shows (WE WILL AGAIN, I KNOW IT) and I hope it compels you to start to plan your own! I for one enjoyed muchly watching, and being in some live shows - the Dashingly Quirky event of 2019 (as yet unreleased) with Layla herself being OUTSTANDING! (Alongside Karim Kronfli, James Oliva, Fiona Thraille, Maxamillion John and mmmoooore! So yes, this interview was glorious fun, and has not been released until now because the audio quality took a while to get to this....so...I have a small victory in that you can hear it, but hey, the quality may occasionally go wibbly woooo.
Thank you so much for listening and to my amazing Patreon supporters, who spur me on ALLLLLL THE TIME to keep making this groovy thang. If you would like to help me decide what else to do for 2021, please add your pennorth to this Quirky Voices 20 second survey! Cheers.
At the end of this episode you also hear a trailer for the brilliant Angelique Lazarus' new show - THE POLYGLOTTAL STOP. Here's a link to the show and feel free to contact Angelique via her twitter here - she has an amazing voice and was in my Moonologue Sessions last year in a piece written by the lovely Karin Heimdahl.
Next week - Jack Bowman on DIRECTING!
HAPPY LISTENING / HAPPY CREATING
Thanks again SO VERY MUCH for listening - please feel free to share this ep! Fanks!
N PLEASE DO JUMP ON THE WIFI SCI FI event happening online on 6th December with 5 shows performed live including OZ 9 (Sarah plays Mrs Sheffield) and Girl in Space, Relativity, Moon Base Theta, Witchever path and mmoooore!
Cheers all

So so soooo excited to share this groovy chat to some of THEEEE LOVELIEST and most talented of folks in podcasting - Kristi Boulton and Sean Howard, They wax lyrical on the processes they found most (or least) effective when creating the much lauded and admired, many awarded, brilliant improvised podcast - CIVILIZED POD!
Links to the show and the folks' social media and more are below if you needed to jump in now!
These two are VERY good at what they do, and we explore the importance of being a team, of creating a safe space, of making signs and signals and how they gently plan or plan NOT to plan an episode.
If you - like me - want to get into making your own improvised audio fiction shows, #havealistendooo to this audio bliss!
Great tips.
If you liked the show, please feel free to support it so I can make mooooore!

Sat, 31 Oct 2020 18:00:00 +0000
Helloooooo
Here is the third of the fun scripts of kid friendly audio horror joy! And this one's by me.
I wonder if you want to start a tally of misused britishisms in lieu of their American counterparts? I think there's at least 10 US / UK translation mistakes here - and this kids, is why you need to hire a reader to check your work....
Send in your guesses of what went literally wrong to quirkyvoices@gmail.com - or send us pictures of Dina and her Mom and Dad reunited, write what happened next - what adventures could they have?
Thank you to the wonderfully talented Layla Katib who is a wonderful actor and you can find her on VICTORIOCITY and THE AMELIA PROJECT and so much more if you have a hunt! Doesn't she make a wonderful mummy wolf?
I do hope you enjoy this episode - you can hear a few more our today too - S.C.A.R.E and THE SUMMONING out today, and later this week....for the bigger boys and girls....BRAIN!
Feel free to share this with all of your pals
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
Heres some links to Layla's works
Check with your parents before listening peoples! Some of this work is for the bigger kids!
Thank you to my patrons for their continual supportive awesome. If you want to help get more Quirky words made, feel free to support QUIRKY VOICES on Patreon of ko-fi. Thank you so so much!

Helloooo
HOW AM YA?
I am HUGELY excited as I gained another Patreon this week - which TRULY helps as I have lots of voice actors to gently pay for the upcoming Kids horror Mini season of BOGEY'S AND GHOULIES - so EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS - THANK YOU'S ANDDDD Welcome Annie and huzzahs for alll of my patreons - Austin, Paul, Dany, Hazal, Michael, William, Artist Soapbox, Kirsty, Bob, Alma, Karin, Lesley, Chrystene and - KARIMMMMM KRONFLIIIIIII - I honestly am not sure MADIVA would have still been released if it wasn't for your support ...and oh you do put up with my random script sharing SO well :)
Advertising and Patreon love aside -
Karim Kronfli
is my wonderful guest today - though we did record this last year in....different times...in a pub....cos...we are real life chums and..that seemed like a groovy thing to do! Bruce and Helen in a pub huh? Fun times. (Less bloody / raucous tho....probably)
So, here we are before and after our Winter Salads....and Karim talks all things Voice Acting - from origins to his directing, and his top tips for you budding VA's.
And I do love his voice - don't you?!
Please share this episode - it is so hard as an independent producer getting audio gold like this to the right ears - fanks if you can help do that and....
Thank you for listening!

AHHH Blown up laptop situations have temporarily thwarted my flow...but! MADIVA IS BACK...TODAY - HUZZHAS!
Hope you are all well you wondrous VA'S in this crazy world....I have kept m'head above water and am in the thick of finalising the SEASON 4 MADIVA GUESTS - SOOOO EXCITINGGG!
So, huzzahs for HEM CLEVELAND talking all things voice acting for and organising and casting folks for the Lucky Die - a live action role play pod of wondrous grooviness that is led by the fantastical brain of Hem, with a squad of very amazing imaginative and funny fun people working on it - actors - musicians, editors and moooore.
I would LOVE to do some more improvisation, and this kind of show seems a lure for sure - and HEM SEEMS TO BE THE GODDESS TO DO IT WITH. I am excited to say, there will be an update on how I have popped my Lucky Die Adventurous Cherry with the brilliant Karin Heimdahl and Karim Kronfli this November. (SQUEALLLLY EXCITEMENT) WAAHOO
I was upset in editing that I had missed an opportunity to do the 'the flames...the flames' nod to THE AMAZING Madeline Kahn...find it, do it for me huh?
Any bongs in here just gently bong out any swearage if you are wondering what that is about - to protect your ears....Cos I care....but sometimes swearage seems necessary...thats just my opinion obvs.
So

MADIVA 306 - EDDIE LOUISE CLARK and some VA top tips for acting in your own show and mmooooore!
Mon, 28 Sep 2020 18:00:00 +0100
Well Hallo folks of Acting loving audio joyyyyy!
Welcome to MADIVA 306! tHE Modern Audio Drama Indie Voice Acting Podcast.
How am ya?
Today's guest is the UBER AMAZING TALENTED WONDEROUS Eddie Louise Clark! <Cheering> <Shouting> < Experiments> <Science!>
DID YOU KNOW EDDIE HAS WRITTEN AN OPERA?
IS A GHOST WRITER?
MOVED TO EDINBURGH (NOT FOR THE GHOSTS) WITH CHIP & HAD A GRAND TIME?
RECORDS TABLEREADS?
RECORDS PETRONELLA WITH HER HANDS UNDER HER BUTTOCKS?
Find out whyyyyyyy in this groovy filled fabulous chattarama to Eddie Louise Clark from Sage and Savant and mmmoooore!
RECORD SCERATCH
Now
Gotta be honest...
I'm finding this week tough. Today's episode has been beset by audio gremlins and that seems to be the general mood of the week - I am fine and well and all that, but obvs, ya know, We all get a little tired. This am that tired.
That aside, EDDIE IS AMAZZZINGGG - There is so MUCH to glean from this episode that I truly hope the poorer quality audio doesn't make you scream and bypass it. Imagine....uhm...imagine that im on the phone talking to Eddie and you can listen in - that might blunt the blight of it.....HHHaaaannnyyywayyyyysss - I will endeavour to have Eddie back in future seasons to tell of any other groovy projects - hopefully with pristine audio. I'm sorry, with my schedule how it is, I just had no time to re record. Like. Every day is nuts! And yet, I didn't want to not ping out this episode = or some such better grammatical sentence of intent.
So
Thank you for listening - especially so if you get through this glorious ep. Thank youp.
I actually love you.

HELLOOOOO
Well how are you wonderful voice acting folks? You winning those auditions? You having THE BEST FFUNNN?? I am SO EXCITED to present today's episode OF MADIVA on Directing Voice Actors with Danyelle Ellett.
Of course there is not just one way of directing folks, so this season shares a few different folks ways in, organisational modus operandi and some fabulous top tips.
Today, As well as stellar voice acting top tips, we answer:

- Can you pirouette in a vocal booth?
- What OTHER thing can you do under a duvet AS FUN AS VOICE ACTING?!
- Who is the good and what is the pointe?
WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE!?!?
Dany is a force of good, positivity and audio awesome on the AF landscape - currently inspired, we find out she is writing her own groovy audio fiction podcast, appearing in a good few groovy podcasts (links below) and, here, we chart her journey into directing voice actors on her first full fiction collaboration - The Subjective Truth - made with Jeremy Ellett (her husband). Go listen It is awesome. And I would say that even if I wasn't in it! I mean....Addison Peacock AND Dany AND Mr Olivieri, Karin Heimdahl, Kristen Demercurio and mmmooore - WOW! Groovy cast!
I do hope folks start to take onboard some of the fabulous tips in this podcast ep, on working with your actors, but still giving them ownership, and finding those beats, having time for Impro and play and so much more!
Thanks so much to Dany for jumping on this MADIVA ep, and I do hope you go and listen to allllll of the shows she's linked to...in the links!

Hellooo - hearty happy welcome's to this episode of MADIVA on encouraging gender inclusive casting calls, with the blooming lovely, warm and brilliant....EVAN TESS!
We kinda look at soo many things INCLUDING:
What
is
Hope punk?
What
does
Non
Binary
mean??
How can you make casting calls more inclusive to non binary folks and more>?
OH, and we even hear the birdsong of Caesar the Cockatiel - what's not to like peoples!?
THESE QUESTIONS, birdsong, AND MORRRRE are explored gently, peacefully and with care in conversation with the brilliant and groovy Evan Tess.
During this interview, I'd love you to have an open minded thought-filled listen, and think about perhaps changing some of your (possibly life experience entrenched) gendered language to be more inclusive of non binary folks in general life and casting calls....and as a VA not to apply for roles if the descriptor does not apply to you, and as a writer, producer and creative think a little more deeply about who can play your wonderous characters because, being honest, it is not hard to do, and will mean such a lot to those gentle beings who identify as such.
Evan talks eruditely on top tips for positive and inclusive terminology to use in your acting calls to make it truly accessible to all. They suggested:
'We practice gender inclusive casting; please read for any roles that are appropriate for you regardless of the outcry of your voice.'
AS A SUPERB STARTING POINT for inclusivity.
Copy it, paste and or edit in your own words. Ah gwan!
Thanks so much to Evan for taking the time to join me, and I hope what was said is hugely useful and informative to those not already in the know!

I still feel as an indie medium we just need to nurture more connectivity, which means practicing constant inclusion practices....and I need to too!
Hope you're all well out there - please keep making your audio awesome, but also consider who you can include to make it EVEN BETTTERRRRR

MADIVA 302 - Zachary Fortais-Gomme of THE ORPHANS on Directing Voice Actors Coolness
Mon, 31 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0100
Woah
EPISODE 302 - Directing voice actors in groups / individually, in situe, online,
and in theatres live for PODUK 2019....
EP 302 ALREADY? How has a week gone by already?
IF you need the lowdown on directing remote recording voice actors or to be honest in any emergency situation of a harsh deadline THEN DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE!
Firstly, Zach is one of the loveliest and warmest talented velvety voiced Canadian English folks (I think that's right) I know working in Audio Fiction. I mean I don't think there's anyone with a Canada connection that isn't a friendly warm gem of a talented person tbh.
Find out on MADIVA Podcast how Zach works with his actors, those who are very very new to audio, and those seasoned pro's. There's some fantastic top tips here for voice actors AND producer directors, so...please feel free to pass it on....
We talk about the difference between having one-to-one director actor sessions, and big group recordings in the same space....we talk the importance of adding reaction sounds to the record, showing presence in the scenes, and how actors being prepared is hugely important - your opinions and thoughts about the character are key to a fantastic productive recording session. Zachary also talk of directors 'bringing it' - feeding the lines with energy your actors...'otherwise they might as well just self direct', and why he likes to SEE his actors in a remote record session over available means, how different actors need different directing modes, doing live audio drama ON A STAGE AND SO MUCH MORE!
(...and to be honest, there's a lot of Beth Eyre love in here too...)
The Orphans mini season of comp winning authors works has very recently aired so do not delay and jump on and enjoy some original new writing encouraged by Zach and the team...
Thanks so much to Zachary for all of this wondrous and helpful advice and, GO BINGE THE ORPHANS - All of it! Do it now. Don't make me go all Orsham on ya!
Links to his works below:>>>
AND IF YOU want to voice act but aren't sure how to start, I am running a Course. Yes! In Sept. Online. A few places left for the SUNDAY EVE AND TUES 11AM sesh. Jump in here on my Quirky Voices Website do!

ANYONE F'COFFEE - Episode the Fifteenth - ECZEMA - DRESSED
Sat, 08 Aug 2020 23:00:00 +0100
Well huzzahs - huzzahs to you for listening, huzzahs to anyone whose voice or sound effects or music or handiwork of some kind contributed to making this podcast - we are at the final episode of Season One.
And I DO hope to make Season two! What shall we do? What to explore / to highlight / help raise awareness of? Ping us if you know - quirkyvoices@gmail.com
Thanks again to the Pulse Award funding for enabling this fun and informative pod to happen.
In this episode Charlie is still in her panic bath, trying to hide from Gabby and Rachel - but Gabby has other ideas and appears at her window - things do however go....slightly awry.
In the main interview section I talk all things mental health with the condition, and things I have tried to help me over the years. Julie Wheeler tells us how and when to recognise that maybe we need to seek medical professional help, and kindly signposts further places to gain help and information to help you.
This has been a superbly enlightening series to create - I know, I know it is ambitious, but I truly hope the format and info within helps someone gain confidence in themselves to be proactive and seek help, for listeners to reach out to pals or family, and for people to realise they are not alone in their suffering, they do not have to be, and there is help out there - even now, in this crazy. All useful links for eczema as well as all the medical conditions we have explored are on the Quirky Voices Website here, along with the sound effect list of downloaded and used sounds from Freesound.
SO. THANK YOU for your support - please do share this pod far and wide to help it get to the people I made it for, and, if that is you, hugs from here to there for whatever you are going through. You will get through this. You will rebuild yourself.
So Thank you for listening, and sharing.
And....to my cast especially - Heartfelt thanks - to the regulars Diane Alexander, Lucy Shirley, Lara Parker, Kirstin Stansfield - I bloody love you - but you know that. And to my cameo players - Fiona Thraille and Paul Golding - couldn't have done this without you! Thank youp.
To all the extra work Fiona Thraille has put in - it deserves at least a medal - thank you - and please do check out her amazing fiction awesome on the Dashing Onions Website here.
Hope your day is a good one....and if you are having a crazy flare up right now, by reading this sentence, I am sending you glorious vibes of abundant good health and pure happiness and gentle healing.
Drink water. Go moisturise and....look after yourself yeah? Ah Gwan!

ANYONE F'COFFEE? - Episode the Fourteenth - ECZEMA - PANICBATH
Sun, 02 Aug 2020 15:00:00 +0100
HelLo you fabulous fiction loving folks of audio loving joy
Hope you are having a groovy fun filled day in whatever way gets you through this current crazy....
On release day here in the Uk it is a beautiful sunny day, and the world turns with us still on it, I often think of myself sitting here typing something or editing something and then zshumm up to see me as a birds eye view, typing, editing, then up further to see my house from the sky, then up further to see the country from space, then up further to see the planet revolving, and then zshumm back down in mini speed bursts to each distance increment back to me typing here through my eyes. . And that's some mindfulness right there. You've just done it too. Groovy...
So today's ep still focuses on elements of my life journey with eczema. What treatments I have had, things I have felt and thought and felt through the eyes of Charlie in the audio fiction segment, as well as in my own words.
The wonderful Julia Wheeler joins us once again to give top tips on how to help yourself if you have this condition. I do hope this is useful -do contact us via quirkyvoice@gmail.com if you want to feedback anything that has been helpful, or resonated with you in any of the episodes, or if you just want to say halloooo...doooo!
Thanks to Matt Hutt and Zak Lemon for the grooviest of music.
As usual, all links mentioned are on the Quirky Voices website (click here) for alllll the conditions explored in this season.
Thanks so much to my wondrous cast - today you only really heard from the fantabulous Lucy Shirley as Rachel and Lara Parker as Gabby, and Fiona Thraille as Jill, who also executive produces this podcast. You can also find her own audio fiction awesome on the Dashing Onions Website here.
Still gotta thank Diane Alexander,and Kirstin Stansfield for their general awesome and support. I am sure you will agree all the contributors are amazing for sharing their stories, and their courageousness in doing so has only been to help folks like you! As folks have continually told me, real life stories resonate the most...and use of verbatim moments and playing with dramatic fiction to highlight the reality of these conditions has seemingly been very effective to bring home elements of the true reality of living with these conditions.
Thanks to my parents and fam for supporting me through my life’s crazy, and to my man and my kids who just lift me, make me laugh, make me proud, help me through my bad times and make my life so much more.
Hope your day is a good one....and if you are having a crazy flare up right now, by reading this sentence, I am sending you vibes of good health and happiness and healing.
Drink water. Go moisturise and....look after yourself yeah?

ANYONE F’COFFEE? - Episode the Thirteenth - ECZEMA - ITCHYYY
Sat, 25 Jul 2020 15:00:00 +0100
Hello YOU WONDEROUS people of my timeline...or of the future....hey!
How’s your world?
Today we delve into the lows of the life of an exzematic.....what it might well be like behind many a closed door, as folks cope with acute all over body pain and the reality of a true flare of the chronic skin condition known as eczema.
I AM....ECZEMATIC..
I AM...ASTHMATIC...
I'M HYDRATOLOGICAL,
WHY I'M GREASED NIGHTLYYYYYY
In the audiofiction, Charlie can only function in bed. Oh c'mon, not like that. It’s a school day, a day she isn’t meant to work, and her neighbours have seen the kids to school, and her husband is away. Sods law of course. She talks from her bed about what it is like...those crippling days. She reflects on how eczema has shaped her, and her thoughts about herself....her relationships. And yes, aspects of this are autobiographical. And yes, I did want to share my angst about finding someone amazing and fun to show you can be loved, and to show that, no matter how low you go, there is hope to find that groovy someone, cos....if I can....you certainly can. And he - Paul - makes my everyday even more amazing. So.....the sage advice here is....just be you, and....go out and enjoy yourself. Life has its crazy surprises - go gettemmm....
The interview section is...er....slightly different for reasons that obvs I usually interview the guest. Hope what I’ve done works ok and isn’t too....ridiculous....and our wonderous expert is a Dermatology nurse, the fabulous Julia Wheeler.
I do want to point out that obviously, she is very much following the NICE guidelines in her recommendations, and that there are....a good number of other options of treatment available to us sufferers that we don’t go into as those are not her specialism. I would like to continue to explore the eczematic treatments of things in future podcasts, so, if you are an alternative therapist, or have tried something worth shouting about, do contact me on quirkyvoices@gmail.com.
As usual, all links mentioned are on the Quirky Voices website (click here) for alllll the conditions explored in this season,
Thanks so much to my wondrous cast - today you only really heard from the fantabulous Fiona Thraille as Jill, who also executive produces this podcast. You can also find her own audio fiction awesome on the Dashing Onions Website here.
Still gotta thank Diane Alexander, Lara Parker, Lucy Shirley, and Kirstin Stansfield for their general awesome, and do hope you check out their episodes on PTSD, Anxiety and Depression, Post Natal Depression and Endometriosis......they’re all super heroes x
Thanks to Matt Hutt and Zak Lemon for the grooviest of music.
Thanks to my parents and fam for supporting me through my life’s crazy, and to my man and my kids who just lift me, make me laugh, make me proud, help me through my bad times and make my life so much more.
Hope your day is a good one....and if you are having a crazy flare up right now, by reading this sentence, I am sending you vibes of good health and happiness and healing.

ANYONE F'COFFEE? - Episode the Eleventh - PTSD / ANXIETY / DEPRESSION - TRIGGERED
Sat, 11 Jul 2020 10:00:00 +0100
Well Hallo folks
Do wear a mask in public places :)
So! We are on to episode 11 of this audio grooviness, ANYONE F'COFFEE - funded by the PULSE Award / Wellcome Trust and Britpod awards....this very aural delight is designed and built to be a useful insightful moving listen - encompassing real life story, medical professional advice on where and how to get help, and some verbatim and dramatised audio fiction on 5 different medical issues women - and some other folks - suffer from...daily....this pain often unseen. Hidden.
We continue this week looking at PTSD / Anxiety / Depression.
I must make clear that the traumatic event affecting characters and people in this show was a sexual assault, so please be aware of that before you listen if this will in any way affect you. Thank you.
Flo is found in hibernation mode at home, and tells of her gentle trauma at even seeing folks who remind her of the man who sexually assaulted her, and the girls rally round to support her. In Diane's interview she recounts thoughts and feelings about therapy, about being proactive and positive, and Kylie Salholm give us advice on how folks suffering this mental health issue can help themselves..
The WHOLE point of me and my audio pals making this is to encourage you to empower yourself to get help, to make the first steps in recognising that you need help if you need it, and to nurture friends and family and a sense of community, whatever your condition - healthy or otherwise.
We are all on this crazy planet for such a short time....I feel we should be better at communicating and speaking and helping each other - especially now.
I hope you feel the same way too, and reach out to other folks, or to networks on our Quirky Voices website links here.

ANYONE F’COFFEE? - Episode the Tenth - PTSD ANXIETY / DEPRESSION - RIPPLES
Sat, 04 Jul 2020 10:00:00 +0100
Hello all
I do hope this week has been a positive one in your world, and you’re getting some good support and cuddles where you need it...or at least air hugs at a distance...
We start our first focus on the impact of PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. Often experienced in self imposed isolation - before even all this mass imposed...isolation. We all can have low mood...right? Times when things are heavy and pressing or friendships or relationships Or finance or circumstance take a turn, and leaves us morose, feeling low and upset. Not wanting to do, to speak, to move.
This episode looks at what happens when a traumatic event is the cause, and how the aftermath of that might make folks feel and behave, and feel sometimes overwhelmed, but how talking, how therapy, self care and love and friendship can help you mend and continue to live more...positively.
I must make clear that the traumatic event was a sexual assault, so please be aware of that before you listen if this will in any way affect you. Thank you.
Diane Alexander is the focus for interview in the next few eps - she plays Flo in the audio fiction and this week we find her struggling on her own, feeling more than low and getting flashbacks to a traumatic event. We hear her in therapy and finding life too much in crowded places.
In her frank interview, Diane details how the PTSD, anxiety and depression manifests, and what she has done to help herself live positively. I am sure you’ll agree her sharing this aspect of her life is brave and amazing, with the soul reason to encourage others to seek help and guidance if they have had a similar event...male or female, trans or non-binary folks....please talk..please seek help because this world needs amazing folks like you in it.
I have put many links to websites and places with phone numbers and hotlines for UK and USA on my website - QuirkyVoices@weebly.com
Please ping me any other sites of use that i can happily add for folks to find. Thank you.
The wonderful Kylie Salholm is our medical professional who is a practicing Psychological Therapist, (BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist, IPT Therapist, RMN and works for an NHS Trust in secondary care =More than qualified to help us fathom in this episode where and how to find help and information.
Thanks to my wonderful cast :
Kirstin Stansfield as Freya
Lara Parker as Gabby
Lucy Shirley as Rachel
Fiona Thraille as the Therapist
I play Charlie
And the wonderful Diane Alexander as Flo

ANYONE F'COFFEE? - Episode the Seventh - EPILEPSY - FIT
Sat, 13 Jun 2020 07:00:00 +0100
Hallo, welcome, and Thank you SO MUCH for joining us for the first of 3 eps on EPILEPSY focusing on the wonderous Lucy Shirley, who - if you've been listening along, plays the often hilarious Rachel in our Audio Fiction, and has in her real life been dealing with epilepsy since childhood.
I have to point out at this juncture BLACK LIVES MATTER & TRANS LIVES MATTER to us at Quirky Voices VERY MUCH...I work and play with folks from all of these wonderous communities and, well, I have really been overwhelmed by the sadness and tragedy concerning Civil and Trans rights, my workload and world events and that of things closer to home as well as my own health of late, and so we had an unexpected mini break - to hopefully also leave room for other voices as well as find our own - but we're ever so gently & calmly back & woah have we got some eps for you!...I would LOVE to hear from anyone in the Trans and or Black communities who want to share their experiences of these conditions with us too >quirkyvoices@gmail.com
Thanks also to our medical professional Matthew Walker whose list of job titles is longer than my body(!) and works in many fields of public facing research and development in epilepsy. I appreciate very very much Matthew and Lucy's input into these next few episodes, and I'm sure you will too!
We mention both EPILEPSY ACTION AND EPILEPSY SOCIETY a lot! Please follow those links to research more for yourself! And all other links are on our show notes found on the Quirky Voices website here

ANYONE F'COFFEE? - Episode the sixth - PERI/POST NATAL DEPRESSION - SPARKS
Sat, 30 May 2020 00:00:00 +0100
Hallo you wonderful folks! -'s me! Sarah Golding hallooooo. I do hope you’re wellllll!
This is the last of 3 eps on Peri/ Post Natal Depression, focusing on Gabby’s made up and Lara’s real life story, with some medical professional advice from the fabulous Tracy Greenwood.
In our audio fiction today, Gabby talks about her experience of hyper-anxiety, comparing herself to other mums, being cross with her husband peacefully sleeping when she's wide awake...the girls rally round to show Gabby the best support they can - by listening and enabling Gabby talk - and Flo... in a state of highness from her anxiety drugs does something to make Gabby feel....special! This was SO MUCH fun to record! I cannot divulge if bra's were or were not burnt in this episode!
The wonderful Tracy Greenwood of The Blackpool Teaching Hospital’s NHS Trust talks about how folks - not just mums but dad's too - can start to recognise that they may need help - the signs and signals to look out for. I am hugely grateful to Tracy for giving up her time and sharing her fantastic expertise.....
In the last of her interviews, Lara Parker talks top tips coping once babe has arrived, talks of the importance of supportive partners and surviving poonamis. I am sure you'll agree, Lara is amazing...for sharing such a personal part of her life's journey to hopefully help others, and to make a difference.
We'll be holding an online chilled cafe at 8PM BST on June14th -on Zoom- and if you'd like to join us-me, the cast and Fiona Thraille, please fill in this form and we'll ping you a link to the zoom chilled coffee cafe a short while before 8pm on the 14th.

ANYONE F’COFFEE - Episode the fifth - POST NATAL DEPRESSION - COLLAPSE
Sat, 23 May 2020 09:00:00 +0100
Hallo folks!
Sarah Golding here. I do hope you’re wellllll!
This is the second of three eps. on Post Natal Depression, focussing on Gabby’s made up and Lara’s real life story, with some medical professional advice.
In our audio fiction today, Freya turns up, and obviously some sparks fly with Gabby's low mood and Freya’s reaction to Gabby's of-the-moment quite frankly awful words! We fathom why Gabby feels so worried about how to be and what to do because of the painful legacy of her previous pregnancy.....and she admits that it is so much better to be able to share these thoughts and not go it alone..
The wonderful Tracy Greenwood of The Blackpool Teaching Hospital’s NHS Trust talks about how folks can help themselves if the post or peri natal depression has started to take over.
Lara Parker talks frankly on the key aspects of the condition that took its toll during and after her pregnancy. I find it fascinating. Touching on the whole how others see you and that whole dark place of continually comparing yourself to others...hyper anxiety is a terrible thing. We talk breastfeeding, the hardships of socialising as a mum when you’re feeling low, and helping babe conquer reflux and Poo problems.
”As long as you’re happy, and your baby is safe
and you are safe, you will have a happy baby”
Lara Parker 2020

Please do feel free to write to us about any aspect of the podcast....we love to hear from you!
In this final part of the audio fiction focusing on endometriosis, Freya explores what it was like going into and coming out of the operation, and shares how her pain affects her, and therapies she has use to try to combat the pain.
In her interview, Kirstin reveals how she felt about and coped with elements of going in for her operation and aftercare, and alternative treatments.

ANYONE F’COFFEE - Episode The Second - ENDOMETRIOSIS - RAW
Sat, 02 May 2020 17:00:00 +0100
Hello and Welcome to Episode Two of Anyone F’Coffee🎉
Thanks so much for feedback to quirkyvoices@gmail.com - we’ll read some of that out in future episodes!
In the grooviest of audio fiction segments I could muster, we find what it’s like for Freya to cope with her pain, and Rachel suffers an ‘absence’. A moment of confusion and disorientation that some folks with epilepsy experience - sometimes many times daily, sometimes sporadically, sometimes before a bigger ‘episode’, and often folks have no idea what they are. Gabby reveals her strong adversity to having any more children hinting at her post natal depression (which we explore later in the season). The pals all try and give ways of helping to deal with period pain and mention their own menstrual health....so hey, try and perfect that Kenneth Williams impersonation huh?
In her interview, Kirstin reveals how she felt about and coped with elements of going in for her operation and aftercare, and how endometriosis affects her day to day.
The last part of this second episode answers question 2 with help from - Faye Farthing, Campaign Manager of Endometriosis-uk.
How can people with this condition or suspect they
have it, help themselves?
Thanks so much to Faye for this useful and brilliant information. Next week, we look at Q3 - When do folks need to recognise that they need help?
Click here for the link to the google form to join Kirstin, Lucy, Lara, Diane, Fiona and me for a chat about all things Endometriosis and the podcast on Sunday 10 May as stated on the pod in a zoom chillout session. Please feel free to share with pals who might want to join us too!

Hello! And welcome to ANYONE F'COFFEE - A NEW Women's Health Podcast and a groovy PULSE AWARD funded must-listen-to pod - gently nurtured into this world by help from those amazing folks at The British Podcast Awards and The Wellcome Trust.
Thanks for that folks!
This week's episode - and they are coming out weekly - focuses on Endometriosis. A condition we explore through the real life experience of real life Kirstin Stansfield....teacher, medieval historian, amdram pal and friend of mine.
We explore in this episode what it is, how she was treated, how she felt as she went along and why it was so hard to get diagnosed. After the interview with Kirstin is a fun segment of audio fiction (written by me) exploring the relationship of 5 characters with the conditions this podcast explores, all connecting over a cuppa, and finally sharing elements of their personal journeys. This is part verbatim and part theatricalised and I hope it makes you love these people and characters as much as I do! The last part of each episode will be an interview with a person in the know - either a medical professional or someone working closely with folks with the condition.
If you suffer from the kind of pain FREYA does and haven't yet sought help, please find info and where to go for help in the shownotes links. Please be kind to yourself x
Today we explore How and where folks with this condition (or suspecting they have it) can find help and information....and today we have help from THE LOVELY Faye Farthing of Endometriosis-uk.
HERE is a link to the CAST BIOGS, allll references we make in the podcast ep, and to the sound effects I used in my original audio fiction PLUS full credits...on my Quirky Voices Website.
Music was by Matt Hutt and Zac Lemon - love it! Isn't it groovy...?
CAST - Diane Alexander, Lara Parker, Lucy Shirley, Sarah Golding, Fiona Thraille and introducing KIRSTIN STANSFIELD. Thank you Kirstin for sharing so much of your personal experience and thoughts, and to all my cast - BLOOMIN' LOVE YA!
The Audio fiction segment was recorded in the Mysterious Movies Podcast and film studios in SEER GREEN, BUCKS. Please do contact Celine@mysteriousmovies.com for info and bookings! They are truly lovely - and we could NOT have done the day without the amazing engineering of RAPHAEL DARLEY in the session, who manoeuvred mics and made it a very cool and easy experience to get it alllll done! Thanks RAPH!
Written Directed Produced and Edited by Sarah Golding. I even drove the car.
Executive Producer - Fiona Thraille
SFX ALL FROM FREESOUND.ORG OR MADE BY ME
Thank you...sincerely to everyone who has helped me make this seemingly epic season of ANYONE F'COFFEE. There are 2 more episodes focusing on ENDOMETRIOSIS, and then we look at POST NATAL DEPRESSION, EPILEPSY, ECZEMA, PTSD/ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. Please do share this with anyone who would need this in their life right now...and please do contact me on QuirkyVoices@gmail.com about any aspect of this production.
Thanks again to FAYE FARTHING of Endometriosis-uk for her time - she'll be back next week!
And finally thanks to all of my Patreon supporters for keeping me buoyant and motivated throughout this last year. If you feel you would like to support my Quirky Work and

WELCOME WELCOME TO SEASON A OF MADCAP!
A year in the making
A PLETHORA of stunningly brilliant voice actors

SHIP IN A BOTTLE by PAUL SPENCER
Starring the wonderfully talented
Erin B Lillis as LANA
and
Tal Minear as ROSE
with
Tanja Milojevic as STORYPOD AI

SHIP IN A BOTTLE - It was supposed to be a sacred time. The sharing of precious memories made possible by a device they call papyri. But are some memories too dangerous to share?
TRIGGER WARNINGS - MILD PERIL, RESTRAINT TO A CHAIR, GRIEF AND LOSS AND DEATH.
Join THE CURATOR as THE LISTENER on The Storypod - a teardrop shaped pod floating on the edge of space, containing shelves full of brilliant bottled stories as far as the eye can see.
You enter the story pod and are welcomed, seated, and your immersapods(TM) and core receiver(TM) - an opening in the back of your skull - are enabled, to connect the pod circuit and to establish full immersion in the story, as it is dropped directly into your brain via pipette of liquid story from a story bottle. You can then enjoy your immersion in the story. Headphones are advised. Do come back.....

Hullo
So
Here's another groovy interview I very much enjoyed doing with the amazing inspiration that is John Osborne-Hughes. Last Year I went on one of his spiritual acting weekends and truly enjoyed the buzz, the ideals, the exercises and the places I went to in such a short time to improve my craft. The thoughtful and mind stretching nature of this course can - I think - be hugely beneficial to folks so, if you fancied a look, havealookdooo!
Here's links to Johns courses in London and beyond!
And email him for info on this address info@spiritualpsychologyofacting.com
And here he is on TWITTER
I have to confess my laptop went berserk around the time of recording this so lost the 'cleaner' recording I had of this interview. So apologies, the ep is allll in skype type quality - I did my very bestest to sort it as much as I knew how....it's the quality of info that counts right?
So hurray for the wonderful John, who I think gives us as actors and as people much great advice, things to ponder, improve on, and best of all, there's some elements of meditation to this ep which I hope you'll find useful.
Thank you wonderous peoples!
If ya have a few moments, I would VERY MUCH appreciate you helping me - and others who won Pulse Award grants (From the British Podcast Awards/Wellcome Trust) - to make a groovy podcast - by taking a few minutes to fill in this survey about podcast listening habits...so they can gauge a before and after to see if our new Wellcome Trusr and British Podcast Awards funded podcasts make a difference! Here's the link and THANK YOU.
Truly appreciate it v much.
Follow @BPAfund for more info toooo
Have a wonderful week folks
Happy Creating!
Sarah

Hello and welcome to MADVENT 2 - the second window on your advent calendar of audio aural warm up joy.
Today we’re looking at a variety of exercises - please just join in - and er- won’t take you long.
I’d like you to stand in a neutral position.
Legs slightly part, knees flexed, chilled. And Arms ....by your side - shoulders back as if you have a little hook attached to your head and to the ceiling. Just to help with pulling up ...your posture.
Ok
Just open your mouth wide for me. And make it as small as you can.
Mmmm
And now, do the same but you’re going to open up your whole face, so when I say open wide… I mean your eyes, your nose, your face, your forehead everything Isi going to open. And when I say close youre going to close all that down to make it as teeny as possible and squished.
READY?
OPEN. CLOSE.
OPEN
CLOSE
OPEN
CLOSE
OPEN
CLOSE
OPEN
CLOSE
OPEN
CLOSE
OPEN
CLOSE
OPEN
…
…
CLOSE
Very Good. Do THAT A couple more times if you want to.
Maybe just give yourself a little massage now on your face again. Ok lovely. Now what I do is after I’ve done little circles… I will just do …pitter patters - like a little horse race on my face.
Now …you might have one brewing….let’s do a nice big burp.
<BURPS>
Just Get rid of that er …extra tension. It’s actually not an exercise - I’m just RUUUUDE.
Now we’re going to breathe a little bit. It’s from your tummy today. Really make it work - that diapragm..YOUR DIA-FRAG-MUH.
We’re going to
Breathe in for 4 out for 4
in for 4 then out for 8
in for 4 out for 12
And in for 4 out for 16
Can you count that high this morning?
Are we ready?
And
Breathe In 2, 3, 4 and OUT 2,3,4
In 2, 3, 4 and OUT 2,3,4,5,6,7,8
And
In 2, 3, 4 and OUT 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
And
In 2, 3, 4 and OUT 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16
And breathe.
As.
You like.
Lovely!
Practice that, because that will help you do ...MANY things to do with breath control. And improve your general understanding of howwwwww to control that particular breath from that

MADVENT 1 - DECEMBER 1 - PHEASANT PLUCKER / JULIE HOVERSON
Sun, 01 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000
Hello all!
HOW AM YA>!?
HAPPY DECEMBER THE 1ST!
This is a quite frankly ridiculous idea I had to release a series of short vocal warm up episodes of MADSASS at 12:01 daily as an advent calendar from Dec 1 thusly cleverly(?) titled MADVENT.
MY AMAZING PATREONS have had some MODERN AUDIO DRAMA SPEECH AND SPEAKING SESSIONS already, and some of these eps are an amalgam of exercises from those. I have learnt these exercises over 20 plus years of drama teaching and being involved in various theatrical troops, voice acting workshops and general acting workshops. They are hopefully useful to pop on and warm up with before doing your audio drama voice acting - after of course the important imbibing of water and general looking after yourself and your wellbeing of course.
I also asked a variety of audio drama chums to impart some voice acting advice - today its from the wonderful JULIE HOVERSON of 19 NOCTURNE BOULEVARD whose works can be found here. Thanks Julie!
And thanks to Haydn Davis and Kathy Lye for this weeks' tongue twister suggestion. Obvs do not do it like what I did...:)
So without further ado, clear some space, lubricate and please do feel free to enjoy... MADVENT 1.
TRANSCRIPTION BELOW.
Do let me know if it's helpful by sharing it as far and wide as you can, and or by contacting me on @sarahofgolding on twitter or quirkyvoices@gmail.com on email - and feel free to request things you'd find helpful orrrrr commission me to run some voice acting workshops for you. I don't mind!
HAPPY DAZE
MERRY DECEMBER

The Moonologue Sessions - PART THREE
Mon, 22 Jul 2019 23:00:00 +0100
HELLOOOO
Well
My goodness
I feel a bit....emosh...
PART THREE EH? And...you've come back for more?! THANK YOUP!
In this episode were monologues by these wonderous souls:
A wish for my forever by William J Meyer,
Her two faces by Danyelle Ellet,
Phaedre by Faith McQuinn
and a wondrous poem - Glow by Cheyenne Bramwell
AND they were narrated by these FANTASTICAL PEOPLES - Erika Sanderson, Danielle Ellet, Cheyenne herself, and Jordan Cobb.
Do send them messages of joy and happiness if you enjoyed their works!
Have had an absolute ball putting this together. Love love love ALLLL of the AMAZING narrators and of course the wonderful writers who made this whole shebang possible. Is this...whimsical? Maybe? Fun? I hope so....I LOVE new writing, I adore listening to brilliant voice actors bring words to life and I enjoy writing harmless fun and hopefully some enjoyable entertainment with a loving space bent.
Sorry about the cow thing.
I just can't help what happens in my little busy brain.
As you can see, I didn't use many real sound effects - apart from blowing a raspberry into the mic for the cowpat. But...instead tried to use sound noises made by the audacity DAW and the ghost hack pack I recently bought. See. I don't have a lot of sound effects and...well...I'm still not sure about all this CC license malarkey so just steered clear.
If you would like to hear more QUIRKY VOICES FUN please do let me know! Its a big ole void out there and any feedback is amaazinnggggg! Either by sending things to quirkyvoices@gmail.com, or jumping on my twitter @SarahOfGolding or @QuirkyVoices
I LOVE voice acting too and do a podcast about how to become one for indie audio drama - its called MADIVA PODCAST and is on most podcatchers....if it's not on yours, lemme know!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LISTENING. Means a lot. I hope to do more so...if you want to ping me a moonologue of your own...do! And send me plot developments, what happened next...anything you like!
I owe so much to Tanja Milojevic for being simply awesome all of the time and the cast and writers for bearing with me whilst I got myself gently organised. Find her in so many podcasts and look out for her produced works with Lightning Bolt theatre of the mind.
THANK YOU to the dulcet toned Bret Maskill-Watts as narrator,
and
The amazing John of Caalo Xan for his music - find out more here

THE Moonologue Sessions - PART ONE
Sun, 21 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0100
Hello!
Have you gazed up at the moon today and thought...wow...fifty years ago today, men trod upon its very surface and stole a bit to bring back here, planted a flag and had a little jump about, did some experiments and....existed? Yup? I have. Maybe not the stealing bit...borrowed...yeah...borrowed, But of course - it was a much more major machievement mby mankind than my flippancy. I find them...truly inspiring. I mean. Did you SEE the tin can rocket ship wrapped in gold foil they did it in??!!
I wanted to do something to celebrate this major anniversary, and set up a QUIRKY VOICES monologue competition to find...some moonologues....yes...moonologues inspired by this majorly exciting anniversary.
And here we are - part one
The first
Of three.
Now, I'm going to say it here there and everywhere. I am...principally a professional voice actor...and teacher...and sound editing is something I am very new to in the grand scheme of things so..,y'know....some levels will be allll over the place. Please forgive my vertical leaning curve. I also do not own an extensive sound library of amazing effects so did a lot of experiments with sound things on my DAW....(that's what I edited it on) But, THE CONTENT ohhhh the content IS WONDEROUS...BECAUSE....BECAUSE OF THE AMAAAAZINGGGG TALENT that has written and performed these wonderful moonologues. And I also had fun myself on the way too.
Massive thanks to TANJA MILOJEVIC who quite last minute came on board to play...
In this ep, you can hear the following MOONOLOGUES:
Moon by Haydn Davis, narrated by Tanja Milojevic
The Apollo landing Moon franchise that never was by J Christian Ellet and performed by James Oliva
The Fleas By Maya Peace, performed by Mads Upton
Chaika, written by Karin Heimdahl and performed by Angelique Lazarus
Darkness, written and performed by Fiona Thraille
Thanks to Bret Maskill-Watts as narrator - Bret's amaazinnggggg....hire them - hire ALLL of these people!
The amazing John of Caalo Xan for his music - find out more here
And to ALLLLL of my amazing Patreon Supporters who have made this show even possible....a huge thank you for your support. If you would like to help me get (an editor) better at editing, or just help fuel more fun projects, please go to my

Vast Horizon (I am the A.I.) Nolira is an agronomist tasked with establishing agriculture in a new solar system, but when she wakes up on a now- empty colony ship, the whole of her plan disappears. The ship has been set adrift, with numerous mission-critical problems requiring immediate attendance outside of her area of expertise. Nolira is aided by the ship’s malfunctioning AI, which acts as her confidant and companion during the fight for survival.

Hello!
Welcome back!
Sarah has fun in an honest chilled out chat to THE HUGELY INSPIRING Lisette Alvarez of Kalila Stormfire, Limbo, Magic Kingdom, Caravan and MMMore about origin stories, balancing work life and audio fun, finding time for self and focus, and dealing with actor creator burnout. Basically we both agree we need to be kind to ourselves as creatives...yes you....we are essentially talking to you. Are you? Being kind to you?
Have a listen, nod along and please in amongst the noise and fun and rollercoaster that is acting and your real life - please make sure you’re looking after you too!
There’s room in our lives as actors to turn off social media to refocus. To reconnect with our inner thoughts and give us time to refill ourselves and get some headspace in this busy crazy perpetually demanding world.
Chill on those deadlines people!
Reset.
Have time.
Refocus.
We also found time to celebrate the starting of the podcasting round table sessions on youtube. And we celebrate the creatives encouraging new voices and folks to voice their opinions and stories. Lisette wholeheartedly encourages modelling positive behaviour and experience and we big up the community once again for its' awesome and striving for diversity...tho...as this season is campaigning - we can do bettererrrrr!
PLEASE DO SHARE and enjoy this ep - rate, subscribe and....a few reviews would be wonderful!
Thanks alll
Go get those auditions!

HALLO!
How do? So excited to share with you this thought provoking episode on what audio fiction and audiodrama folks can do better to be more inclusive of folks from all marginalised communities....with particular focus on the trans community.
Lucille Valentine is a gem and talks of some brilliant useful tips to get your cast looking wondrous and all inclusive of trans people, people of colour, disabled folks and more. If you are an audio creative, a producer, writer or voice actor, do listen to this ep and...pass it on! Share it for all! This I am certain is a useful ep to just incite better practice for casting calls and inclusivity...
Lucy is an active member of the trans community and she's popping up more and more in audiofiction shows - huzzahs! So exciting to have a chat about all things in the audiofiction community being...better!

We look at what happens after auditions and ways different producers and directors work, top tips for pre prep, thinking of time zones, ways you can get better feedback and inout from creatives, how to organise yourself, what to record and edit out, where and how to send it, archiving, and thinking about branding. Lots. Of. Fun.

[00:06] A Teddy Story. A Prologue, which means, in this case, a general introduction to the main events and characters of this fun filled story. Hello! Are you Cuddling your teddy, or something else lovely to cuddle? Or...GASP! Is your fluffy toy... Imaginary? Mmmm? Can I guess what it is? Mmmm. Would you cuddle a toy panda? A...unicorn!? A bear? Or an Alpaca? Llama? Bunny? Oh...perhaps even a fluffy little dog?! Ah. You want to cuddle something else? What? What is it? Tell me - go on! Ah! How lovely. Does it have a name? Wonderful! D’you know...I often

Hello. I'm Sarah. The teller of the Teddy Stories. I told these stories and others like him to my own children, and they liked them so much....I thought I would share them with you. Here we go! Cuddles Ahoy! Teddy Story; The Prologue... Which means... The bit of story you need to know before even more fun begins. If you are good and kind to your teddy.

Then you might well inspire your teddy to become one of the magical chosen good...mmmm, one of the chosen few in this sometimes crazy, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world that seeks adventure, and quests, and goes out into the fun, fun, fun universes and wonderous dimensions of time and space, spreading your good nature and your love of nurture, nurture means, looking after things very nicely, making sure things are safe and well cared for.

HELLO!
Do you like adventures? Would you like to hear children friendly stories about a magical Teddy who goes on fun amazing adventures through magical portals of joy, and meets fire breathing dragons with sore dragon toes, lonely bears in caves not sure how to make friends, and naughty little bunnies,? Would you like to know why Teddy played hide and seek with Mr and Mrs Teacup and their 8 mischievous china cup children? Or why the giant pigeons were pooping jelly eggs all over the chocolate houses? What happened when the forgetful marshmallow cloud men forgot something REALLLLY important?
This is a fun and yet somehow occasionally educational podcast that helps your child learn left from right and think about right from wrong. Hidden in these stories are ways of dealing with bullies, helping people who need help but won't ask, sharing, caring, not staring, and simply being a good friend.
Did you know that if you are truly good and kind, that your Teddy can gain special powers to come alive at night and create a magical portal to adventure in other worlds? Yes! Worlds full of fun and colourful characters. Of jumping in deep chocolate puddles and bouncing on fluffy marshmallow clouds. Of helping new friends and simply being kind. And did you know that sometimes, certain special Teddies can take their kind loving owners on adventures too?! I wonder if your Teddy would take you?
Join narrator Sarah Golding and Teddy, with fun seeking kids Luca and Maisie, on some incredibly exciting adventures.
There will be A New Episode on Christmas Day to introduce the Stories, and then an episode every 2 weeks from January 2019.
TEN EPISODES PER SEASON.
HUNDREDS OF CHARACTERS TO MEET IN MANY MANY EXTRAORDINARY PLACES.
I would absolutely LOVE any support on Patreon to help keep this all running.
https://www.patreon.com/QuirkyVoices
This audio fun takes time and planning and I really would love to time and plan some more!
I aim to put TEDDY STORY on its own feed but cant afford that quite yet!
Sorry about effect overload on this trailer. I was having too much funnnnn
Thank you for listening!

It is 100 years Ago today when the guns and bombs and terror and violence and bloody and tragic war officially ceased across the World. 'The Great War'. Nothing great about it. Senseless waste of human life. Terrible, horrible time in our history - and what have we learnt? Why are we still so terrible to each other?
This is my respectful nod to those who served and still serve their country. Through poetry, letters and musings on various aspects of war, the home front, and those who fought, and those left at home, I present a muster of things for you to muse, and hope that it inspires folks to think of being a better person in this crazy crazy often hate fuelled world. Ignorance is a terrible thing. We need to rally to support and understand each other better, to live our one life the best we can. Good luck.
Music is MOURNING SONG by the immensely talented Kevin Macleod - which you can hear here.... with creative commons license here and find more of his work here
To those who fought and fight and represent our country...thank you...It Is a shame we even need armies and service men and women, but humanity cannot seem to get on with all its' rich diverse culture, gender, creed....perhaps, if we start with bettering ourselves, we can but hope it rubs off on others...
We will remember them.
