DBI - Emotional Baggage - Part 34 The End

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This is it! The actual very end of the story! It's still Halloween night for poor Ryan, but maybe not for too much longer. Spoiler?: Yes, we see inside the trunk! If you haven't heard any of this story, then I urge you to start at episode one so it makes sense. This is the terrifying tale of a poor soul with a tragic past of his own making as he faces mind shattering horrors in an isolated old mansion. This experimental horror audio drama serial was partially scripted and partially improvised. It was initially meant as a challenge to create and release a chapter every day of October with the big finish on Halloween night- alas, illness and life complications got in my way --along with the fact that my vision of the tale began to take form in much longer episodes than I originally intended. This episode and all the others rely heavily on music and sound effects from freesound.org and it's generous audio artists. Imagery, video, and sound assets for various multimedia versions of Emotional Baggage utilized art and sound assets from pexels.com and pixabay.com as well. Thank you for listening! If you enjoyed this, please let me know! Share and spread the word and maybe I'll make more! ;) The end credits music was A Grim Horror Atmosphere For Video Games And Movies by Universfield -- https://freesound.org/s/702863/ -- License: Attribution 4.0

DBI - Emotional Baggage - Part 33

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Better late than never! It's still Halloween night for Ryan as he struggles alone in the dark, trapped with an unearthly horror! This horror audio drama series started as an experiment where I would try to create an episode every day of October and end the story on Halloween night. Well, I slipped behind due to illness but I'm still pushing forward! This is the second to last episode! Next one is the finale. It's all recorded. I'm just working on sound effects and mixing at present. This episode (as well as previous ones) uses art and sound assets from freesound.org, pixabay.com, and pexels.com.

DBI - Emotional Baggage - Part 32

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Episode 32 is here! And It's NOT the last episode! This show was supposed to have one episode for every day of October, with an ending on Halloween. Well, for our protagonist Ryan, it's STILL Halloween for awhile longer. My illness just derailed me too much to get it all done on time. Since I've been so far behind, AND since the last episode was looking to be of ENORMOUS length, I decided to release it in smaller chunks rather than make everyone wait. If you're new to this horror audio drama, you should really start at the first episode or it's going to be tough to follow. It's a serial about a tragic dupe all alone in a haunted hellhole. This is a partially scripted and partially improvised show. Many sound assets were used from freesound.org. Other audio & image assets came from pexels.com, and pixabay.com.

DBI - Emotional Baggage - Part 31

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Episode 31 is here! And It's NOT the last episode! Since I've been so far behind, AND since the last episode was looking to be of ENORMOUS length, I decided to release it in smaller chunks rather than make everyone wait even longer. I REALLY tried my best to meet the challenge of doing an episode a day, but between being sick for over a month, trying to maintain quality, and allowing the story to breathe and grow, I just couldn't bring myself to go any faster. So this is the beginning of the end... If you're new to this horror audio drama, you should really start at the first episode or it's going to be tough to follow. I expect there will be at least 2-3 more chunks of the finale left -- and they will be released very soon. All of the dialogue is recorded and edited. I'm just working on sound effects and mixing at this point. Thanks for your patience!

DBI - Emotional Baggage - Part 30

Sat, 02 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Episode 30 of my 31 part horror audio drama! I was trying to release an episode every day until Halloween-- Well, I'm late...but just because Halloween came and went, that doesn't mean I have to stop! I apologize for the delay but I guess being sick for so long really did knock me for a loop. Also, as this has been a very experimental series, the episodes have been getting longer and longer as I near the finish-- this is so that I can adequately pay off what has been set up and tie up loose ends. If you've ever worked on a project like this, you know it takes more time to refine and edit work to make it shorter-- and I was hustling daily to try and be done by Halloween! This show was barely scripted and was about 70% improvised during recording. I've been working on the show for 6-10 hours a day every single day since September 29th, so trust me, I haven't been asleep at the wheel-- though at times I was asleep with a fever just like the one poor Ryan had. Anyway, enjoy! I'll get the final episode out within the next day or two! I never quit even when the universe shoves plague into my lungs!

DBI - Emotional Baggage - Part 24

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Part 24 of Ryan's descent into terror and madness. This one deserves a trigger warning (hopefully no spoilers) drugs, alcohol, auto accident, injuries, family drama...) There's still time to catch up and enjoy the finale on Halloween! I'm recording and releasing an episode daily all through October! This horror audio drama is told through voice messages left by our isolated and terrorized protagonist. This is the longest chapter so far but most are between 4-6 minutes in length-- though the finale may wind up being longer. This is an experiment that is partially scripted and partially improvised. The show utilizes assets from freesound.org pexels.com and pixabay.com You can find past episodes in podcast form under Creative Genus Audio on Spotify & iHeartRadio or look me up on Youtube for my channel @Waltprov
