1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:14,080 And now Audio Theater Central. Hello, welcome to Audio Theater Central. This 2 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,960 is the show that explores family friendly audio drama through news, reviews and interviews. 3 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,800 I'm your host, JD. Sutter, and this is episode one eighty 4 00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:27,280 five. Well, welcome to this bonus episode. If this is your first 5 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,920 time here, this is not a typical episode of the show. In this 6 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,880 episode, we're going to be sharing the replay of the sixth Annual ATC Seneca 7 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,600 Awards. In case you missed the live broadcast and haven't had a chance to 8 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,560 hop over to the Seneca's website and listen there, we're dropping it here in 9 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,840 the podcast feed. But if you did catch it already, stick around because 10 00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:55,359 we're going to be sharing the winner's acceptance speeches at the end of the replay, 11 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,280 and before that, we're going to be going through a few audio drama 12 00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:03,879 updates. So stick around and let's jump into it. Now. We interrupt 13 00:01:03,879 --> 00:01:08,480 this program to bring you a special report and in other news tonight, a 14 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,560 brief look at the headlines. Now. I want exciting, fast piece news 15 00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:18,760 that's relevant and entertaining like this. First of all, I just want to 16 00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:21,840 say real quickly, thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who 17 00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:26,040 has sent in feedback on the last episode regarding the future of the Seneca Awards. 18 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,599 There has been some great feedback from industry folks and fans alike, so 19 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,799 thank you, thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I'm trying 20 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,319 to get through it all and respond, but I don't know if I'm gonna 21 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,359 be able to actually reply to every single email. I think this is probably 22 00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:51,480 the most feedback on a single episode within a few days that I've had it 23 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,560 in a very, very long time, and that is not a bad thing. 24 00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:57,159 That is great. So I just want to say thank you, and 25 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,680 I will be answering some of the more common questions in the next episode, 26 00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:07,439 so it'll be sure to stick around for that. Well. As I'm sure 27 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:13,840 you're aware, Sonicon is coming up here in November, and I just wanted 28 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:19,800 to give a quick update that the New Works Festival winners were announced just recently. 29 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,599 The top three selections will be performed live at the event, so if 30 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,039 you are a voice actor who's going to be there, there will be an 31 00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:37,280 opportunity for you to audition for the roles for those shows. And also the 32 00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:43,639 full schedule was also just published on the website so all of the master classes 33 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,039 and sessions have been announced. Now some things might change a little bit, 34 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,800 but for the most part that is locked in. So all of that is 35 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:55,759 on the Sonicon website. Also, though, I want to make sure to 36 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,960 mention that if you are an audio drama producer, do not miss out on 37 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:07,120 the chance to become an exhibitor in the exhibition Hall. It does not cost 38 00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:10,479 you any extra. You just have to pay for your weekend pass and you 39 00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:15,159 can be an exhibitor at the event. All you have to do is make 40 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:19,919 sure to fill out the sign up form on this Onicon website as well, 41 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,919 So there's a link which says exhibit or sign up form really really easy. 42 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,159 But you know, it is a great opportunity for you to get the word 43 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:32,680 out about what you're doing. And if you have any kind of business that's 44 00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:40,639 related to audio drama or recording or anything that is pertinent to this industry. 45 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,759 It doesn't necessarily have to be a show, but if you have a product 46 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,479 or service that is geared towards the audio industry, be sure to check that 47 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,199 out as well. Because we really want to grow the exhibition Hall this time, 48 00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:59,159 and it's grown every year and so we just want to see that be 49 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,280 filled up and have lots of great options and so it's you know, it's 50 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,280 a great opportunity for you to network and just to get to know other people 51 00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:14,719 in the industry in addition to all of the classes and sessions and things like 52 00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:17,160 that. So be sure to check that out again. It's all at the 53 00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:23,360 Sonic On website and it is linked here in our show notes as well. 54 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:28,040 Now, in the last episode I mentioned the flat Eugene photo contest. I 55 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:30,480 want to just real quickly mention that again because it is coming up here in 56 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:35,879 just a few days, starting in October, and more information is out. 57 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,480 Now you can go ahead and print out your flat Eugene and get ready to 58 00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:46,600 start taking photos. Some people are already submitting photos, but the actual contest 59 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:53,680 begins in October. So all you do is print out flat Eugene, take 60 00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:58,000 him around and get photos based on a prompt that is going to be shared 61 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,639 for every day, and you share that either on social media with a hashtag, 62 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:09,519 or you can email it into the Odyssey Moments email address. There's a 63 00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:13,680 link to where you need to go to print out the image, and all 64 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,839 of that information is in the show notes of this episode, so be sure 65 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,240 to join in the fun on the Flat Eugene contest put on by Odyssey Moments. 66 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,040 Now. Also in the last episode, we talked about a couple of 67 00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:32,120 anniversaries, and another one is happening this month in September, and that is 68 00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:40,439 Unshackled is celebrating seventy three years of producing radio drama and this is really cool. 69 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,360 They're going to be having an event on September twenty third, which is 70 00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:46,680 right around the corner. I know that this is a very late notice, 71 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,120 so hopefully you're listening to this at the time of release, but they are 72 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:57,240 going to be recording a special episode in front of a live audience and offering 73 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,399 tours of the Unshackled history exhibit. So this is a Saturday, September twenty 74 00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:08,360 third at three pm at Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago. So links in the 75 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,480 show notes to check that out, and you do have to register, so 76 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,120 if you're interested at all, be sure to hit that link up really really 77 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:21,160 soon. All right, now that we've covered all of the event information, 78 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,879 let's move on to upcoming audio dramas. Now, this one is in the 79 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,519 very very early stages. I don't have any specific information about this one other 80 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,800 than a couple of little details. But in August, a casting call went 81 00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:42,600 out for a new biblical audio drama on the life of Moses and it is 82 00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:48,079 called Believing the Promise, and John Fornoff was the casting director for this production 83 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,399 and Kathy Buchanan will be directing it. And that is all that I have 84 00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:58,839 at this moment. So this is just a little bitty teaser here, something 85 00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:02,720 to keep an eye out for. Hopefully we'll get a little more information on 86 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:10,319 that a little ways down the road. Also coming up is the newest audio 87 00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:15,079 drama from Lamplider Theater. It's called Hungering and Thirsting. We have talked about 88 00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:19,759 this before. It is their first musical and it is now available for pre 89 00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:24,600 order, So just wanted to real quickly mention that you can go ahead and 90 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,120 reserve your copy of that. It is not released yet, but it is 91 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,360 available for pre order, and here is the official summary. On a torn 92 00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:38,959 scrap of paper, Kitty discovers a strange message that sends her in search of 93 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:45,079 answers. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst. Meanwhile, a young 94 00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:48,600 entrepreneur wonders how God can be good if little children like Jamie have to suffer 95 00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:54,839 so much. All is not as it seems in this unforgettable drama that unveils 96 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,600 the deep mysteries of life. See unlikely heroes rise to save the day, 97 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,360 revealing the truth about God and what it means to be truly blessed in the 98 00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:09,120 most unexpected of ways. So that is Hungering and Thirsting from Lamplider Theater, 99 00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:16,959 now available for pre order. And also I mentioned last time the new season 100 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,079 of Base Camp Adventures is on its way and the first episode is out now. 101 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:30,240 So this is volume six of Base Camp Adventures and it is called Return. 102 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,519 So here is a little promo for the new volume of base Camp Adventures. 103 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,879 Keep running base Campers administering Tranquilizer via Projectile. Now my name is Abekraus, 104 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,679 and on Base Camp Adventures, I play Albert. Worry not Piper. 105 00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:52,840 I'll be confiscating the dinosaur specimens and all the portal technology from my daughter. 106 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,279 It's like an older, grown up version, but he's still got the fun 107 00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:00,759 to him, which which is really great. So when I first started, 108 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,240 I think I was eleven or twelve, my voice was obviously a lot higher 109 00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:11,879 and just there was quoted more like the boy Outburt. And over the years 110 00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:16,720 it's just you know, growing up now and it's gotten a lot in deep 111 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,840 bur and so when he was getting older, just kind of like progression over 112 00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,759 time. I liked in the very one of the first ones we've done when 113 00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:28,720 he made forest Poppers in one of the first ones, and I always just 114 00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:31,639 thought, I was like, no, that was really such a fun moment 115 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:33,840 because it was my first time doing it and getting to see like what he 116 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,480 gets into, and like it was just like it was really fun just getting 117 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,759 to record that and do that. The film takes place in a galaxy full 118 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,039 of amazing technology, space travel, and unique creatures. Enjoy, but keep 119 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:52,639 an ear out for the message within the planet Drew thrown world up the Radiant 120 00:09:52,759 --> 00:10:07,919 Empire. See anything on the hollow Scope? Not yet. He should be 121 00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:11,360 back by now. The Imperial Palace isn't that far away by grab bike and 122 00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:16,879 his meeting was scheduled for hours ago. You're rambling again. You know you 123 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,399 ramble when you get nervous. Yeah, yeah, wait, I see him. 124 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:31,320 He's crusting the horizon across the salt flat. Will good to see you 125 00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:35,960 back. Did you get it? I got it, but I still can't 126 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:43,240 believe it how much fifty billion units follow us on Spotify. Click the belt 127 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,159 to be notified as new episodes are released. When I heard that, I 128 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,960 was really happy to hear that the character of Albert is sticking around. I 129 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,519 know that a lot of characters are changing because they're you know, they're kind 130 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,840 of aging out of the show, they're growing up, so they've brought in 131 00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:03,720 some new characters, but I was glad to hear that Albert is sticking around. 132 00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:11,759 So new stuff from base Camp Adventures releasing now. Now, if you 133 00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:16,840 don't know, one of the people that was very instrumental in getting Base Camp 134 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,639 Adventures started is Evan David Well.

Well, one final note before 183 00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:54,120 we move on to tonight's program, I recently heard from a couple of different 184 00:15:54,120 --> 00:16:03,120 places somebody referring to these as JD's Awards or something to that effect. And 185 00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:07,200 I just want to say, these are not JD's awards. These are your 186 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:11,360 awards. If you are involved in the family friendly audio drama industry, these 187 00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:17,559 are for you. While I may be the voice, there are numerous folks 188 00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:22,440 behind the scenes who are making this possible, including a committee of voting members 189 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,919 who listen to every single nominated production every year beforecasting their votes. I only 190 00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:33,559 have one vote, so I do not deserve this soul credit here. I 191 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,279 do not want this to be about me again. If you are involved in 192 00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:45,240 this industry, these awards are for you. These are your awards, all 193 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:52,600 right, Without any further ado, let's move on to our first entertainment segment 194 00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:56,840 of the night before we announce any winners. And we're going to start off 195 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:03,360 with a short piece that was produced by the Audio Drama Alliance. And this 196 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,279 is a group of mostly newer talent in the audio drama industry who collaborate on 197 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:14,960 projects together and assist one another in their own work. And it was founded 198 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,400 by Christopher Green many years ago and came under the porch Light Family Media umbrella 199 00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:22,960 in the last few years. Now. This piece that we're featuring tonight is 200 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,799 called Senior Sawyer and it was written by Austin Peachy, ATC contributor and host 201 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:34,079 of the Odyssey Geek podcast. So, in this short comedy piece, we 202 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,720 are going to visit the fictional character's retirement home, and we're going to check 203 00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:44,680 in on an elderly Tom Sawyer to see what sort of shenanigans he's getting into 204 00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:59,599 these days.

You had a play to do. 265 00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:56,920 Yeah, why would you have to do this play? Now? Why 266 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,480 couldn't you have just waited? Wait for well?

I don't know what 268 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:07,799 is your plan to punish me by having to sit there and watch Priscilla Peterson 269 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,720 watch the Old Testament. That's mean. Priscilla is a good actress and you 270 00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:14,119 know it, but you didn't write the part for her. In mind, 271 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,680 you wrote it for me, and you didn't even let me know you were 272 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:22,279 finished. Stop what's going on here? Because it feels like no matter what 273 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,079 I do, it's gonna be wrong. You get mad at me for including 274 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:29,720 you, you get mad at me for excluding you. I'm so afraid of 275 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,759 seeing something that will offend you that we've stopped talking altogether, and I'm tired 276 00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:36,640 of it. Can you please just tell me what to do so I can 277 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:44,599 get off this roller coaster. Yeah, you can keep your promises or stop 278 00:24:44,680 --> 00:25:08,599 making them.

So cool to be part of this. 321 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,279 I apologi, by the way, for the lack of perfect professional audio quality. 322 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,359 I'm actually not at my home studio for the whole summer. As a 323 00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:11,319 matter of fact, I am in Colorado training for a mountain climb, so 324 00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:17,480 thanks for bearing with me. I grew up listening to old time radio as 325 00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:22,720 well as Adventures and Odyssey. Gunsmoke was my favorite, and Ranger Bill was 326 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:26,440 every Saturday morning, and we had lots on cassette tape. But my favorites 327 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:32,480 were Adventures, Ndyssey and Father Gilbert. And honestly, especially was really quite 328 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,440 played a remarkable role in my life because I think it shaped me in a 329 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,920 lot of ways. It was kind of a home away from home for me, 330 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,279 and it brought stories from scripture to life in a really meaningful way. 331 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,200 And I think it also kind of cultivated my imagination and developed me in certain 332 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:55,799 ways as a storyteller and as a voice actor eventually, And so anyway, 333 00:30:55,799 --> 00:31:00,559 it's really really special, and that fandom, if you will, never really 334 00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:06,200 entirely dissipated, even as I went into adulthood, and so I had this 335 00:31:06,279 --> 00:31:12,279 interest to transition from that passion to profession. And the first thing along those 336 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:17,000 lines that I did was I attended the Lamplighter Guild for the first time in 337 00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:22,039 the summer of twenty thirteen, so it just over ten years ago now was 338 00:31:22,119 --> 00:31:27,200 really where the journey started. But I actually actually began in filmmaking, so 339 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:33,319 that's where I actually got my first working opportunities in the arts. And then 340 00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:37,759 it wasn't until about four years later, in May of twenty seventeen, when 341 00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:42,440 I got my first professional audio drama gig, which was for Lamplighter Theater. 342 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,319 They had moved their recordings to their headquarters in New York rather than doing it 343 00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:52,079 in London, which long story short, gave people like me the opportunity to 344 00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:55,400 audition, and they were doing a show called Escape from the Eagles Nest. 345 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,519 I got cast in that, and then the second half of the week they 346 00:31:57,519 --> 00:32:00,880 did another show called The Giant Killer, and I actually wasn't supposed to be 347 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:06,680 in that show, but one of the actors from Eagles Nest had a respiratory 348 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,279 illness and lost his voice while performing for Eagles Nest, and so he wasn't 349 00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:13,559 able to do the role that he was supposed to do in Giant Killer, 350 00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:17,680 and I ended up getting that role to replace him. So so that ended 351 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,039 up being the role of Constantine, which was like a twelve thirteen year old 352 00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:24,519 boy in that show, which was directed, written, and directed. It 353 00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:30,480 was brilliantly written role and then directed by John Fornoff. And John and I 354 00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:36,480 had actually known each other for those that four years and we were actually very 355 00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:38,680 close, and he was he'd become a mentor of mine and a very dear 356 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,319 friend, and so we kind of built this foundation of relationship but never had 357 00:32:43,319 --> 00:32:46,119 the opportunity to collaborate, and this opened the door for that, and it 358 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:52,039 just kind of it's like everything kind of snowballed from there, largely thanks to 359 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:59,319 John, as Ell articulated here in a minute. Lamp Lighters has, especially 360 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,759 though, just just played a really special role in my journey, and I'm 361 00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:07,920 so thankful to Mark Hamby for that. I've done now a total of ten 362 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,960 Lamp Lighter theater productions and forty six characters, and it's just been a lot 363 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:19,519 of fun. But what happened after that first time working with John was really 364 00:33:19,599 --> 00:33:23,759 quite something. The next year John connected me with the Wise King media team 365 00:33:23,759 --> 00:33:27,200 and really kind of advocated for me as he was working with them on this 366 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,039 new series they were doing called The Adventum. I ended up getting cast as 367 00:33:30,079 --> 00:33:35,640 the narrator, and I've done fourteen other characters since, included I also played 368 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,039 to Lucifer, which was kind of fun. And then six months later John 369 00:33:39,119 --> 00:33:45,599 brings me the same company but brings me onto the Jonathan Park series and I've 370 00:33:45,599 --> 00:33:49,759 since done eight volumes for them and forty two characters, including most recently, 371 00:33:49,759 --> 00:33:52,319 by the way, George Washington, which was really special. He's one of 372 00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:57,799 my greatest inspirations, and so this is so cool to get to what an 373 00:33:57,799 --> 00:34:00,880 honor to get to play him. And I actually had had from some some 374 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:07,759 previous research, had some awareness of what his kind of the nuances of what 375 00:34:07,839 --> 00:34:10,639 his voice sounded like, which it's kind of rare that that anybody knows, 376 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,000 you know, what some what a historical figure who lived before the times of 377 00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:21,719 recordings, you know, sounded like. But but they actually have some some 378 00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:24,440 insight into this with George Washington, and so I was aware of that and 379 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:30,320 was able to kind of bring that to my performance. And so so it's 380 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,880 just really cool to be able to do that, and a really amazing privilege 381 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,159 to play one of my heroes. But then the next year John brought me 382 00:34:38,199 --> 00:34:44,000 onto Lifeline Audio Dramas and I've done seven characters for them, And then the 383 00:34:44,039 --> 00:34:47,639 next year he brought me into the the Abide app, the number one Christian 384 00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:52,639 meditation app and and his series that he was doing for them called Skyship Dreamer, 385 00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:58,440 and I've done twenty eight characters for them, and actually had the immense 386 00:34:58,519 --> 00:35:01,960 honor of of being in a show with Will Ryan shortly before he passed, 387 00:35:02,519 --> 00:35:07,280 and unfortunately we didn't share any scenes together, but managed what a privilege just 388 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,119 to be in the same show with him. And then a few months later 389 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:19,679 John brings me on board to write for Abide and Skyship Dreamer, so you 390 00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:22,840 know, transitioning from from voice acting to writing. And then around the same 391 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,480 time he connected me with Kenny and Tommy Sergeant of Sergeant Family Productions, and 392 00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:30,760 they were doing this project called Wayfarer, a full cast audiobook, and they 393 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,920 needed a narrator and so I was in a narrator. I was a number 394 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,039 of other characters for them. And then a few months later John brings me 395 00:35:38,119 --> 00:35:44,559 on board to write for the Adventum. So again same thing, you know, 396 00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:49,400 transitioning from voice acting to writing, but for that series. And I 397 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:54,320 wrote the entire volume six for them, which is still in post production, 398 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,400 but it's coming this fall and I just can't wait for you to hear it, 399 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,519 so be on the lookout for that. And then the next year he 400 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:06,000 connects me with he introduced me to Chris Nelson, who's who runs the Sonic 401 00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:10,639 Con event and and so this was Sonica on twenty twenty one, where Chris 402 00:36:10,679 --> 00:36:14,719 then invited me to be a speaker. And that was just a whirlwind of 403 00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:20,800 teaching multiple masterclasses and doing a keynote and multiple panels and and doing like a 404 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,039 live performance, and it was it just became one of like my all time 405 00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:30,320 favorite weekends of my entire life. And then the next year, John introduced 406 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,519 me to Marshal Younger, the show runner of Adventures and Odyssey, and and 407 00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:42,599 I could go on like it's just incredible how much this one person in my 408 00:36:42,639 --> 00:36:47,039 life has has done for me. But I'll talk about somebody else as well. 409 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:52,320 I'll talk about our very own host of Audio Theater Central, who's the 410 00:36:52,320 --> 00:37:00,599 committee chair of these Seneca Awards JD. Sutter he has also just been a 411 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,960 tremendous direct blessing to me, not just I mean, you know, not 412 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,119 to mention like everything he's done just for the family audio drama community in general, 413 00:37:08,199 --> 00:37:15,079 but for me, I've I've been a beneficiary of that. And because 414 00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:21,000 of JD, I found out about Witnesses and got connected with Tracy Van Dolder 415 00:37:21,039 --> 00:37:24,280 and have worked on multiple of her shows and also played Lucifer for her. 416 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:30,519 Interestingly, but I've played Jesus in three other shows, so I think I'm 417 00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:35,320 avoiding typecasting hopefully. But anyway, I also because of JD, I found 418 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,000 out about Voices in the Wind David Farquhar, and I narrated The Black Cat 419 00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:42,679 by ed Garland Poe for them. I played the Wizard and the Wizard of 420 00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:46,559 Oz for them. And JAD also connected me with Callie Sue of the twelve 421 00:37:46,639 --> 00:37:50,599 thirty two project, and and and get this, Also because of JD, 422 00:37:51,119 --> 00:37:54,480 I found out about Brinkman Adventures, and I got connected with Ian Boltman, 423 00:37:54,840 --> 00:38:00,480 who ended up casting me in seasons eight nine and also as William Bradford in 424 00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:07,519 this production called Freedom, and a number of other characters and and so that 425 00:38:07,639 --> 00:38:14,039 was all JD and Audio Theater Central, and so anyway, like all in 426 00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:20,760 all over these what six years of working in audio drama, I've done over 427 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,599 one hundred and seventy five voice acting roles, and as a writer, I've 428 00:38:24,079 --> 00:38:29,599 had about four hundred pages of script produced thus far, which is you know 429 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:36,719 it's not tons, but but just incredible how much people like this, especially 430 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:42,559 you know, those two guys have done to open doors of opportunity for me, 431 00:38:42,679 --> 00:38:47,679 and I just I want to first of all, just I'm saying all 432 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:54,599 that out of gratitude to just say thank you, but also I want you 433 00:38:54,639 --> 00:38:58,760 all to take something away from this. And this is not limited to audio 434 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,039 drama, by the way, or story telling or the arts. This is 435 00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:04,320 just a lesson for life. But whatever way you want to apply this, 436 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:13,400 invest in relationships with people who are willing to invest in you, and when 437 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:19,159 you get an opportunity, give it everything you've got every time. Give those 438 00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:22,599 people the return on the investment that they deserve. So think about the parable 439 00:39:22,599 --> 00:39:28,679 of the talents with the servants and get the resources from from the master, 440 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:35,599 and they're responsible to go to go build on that, to take it and 441 00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:37,599 do something with it, to not bury it. Right, So don't bury 442 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,280 what you've been given, don't let it go to waste. Build on what 443 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:45,400 they gave you, multiply it. And if you do that, if you 444 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:50,920 if you invest in relationships, if you maximize your opportunities, and if you 445 00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:53,480 bring together your strengths and passions, which I don't have time to get into 446 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:58,920 the weeds on that, but if you do those three things, then it's 447 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:05,559 it's kind of a kind of a magical journey. And so invest in relationships, 448 00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:08,599 maximize your opportunities, bring together your strengths and passions, and always, 449 00:40:08,679 --> 00:40:15,239 always, always do those three things in that order of priority. This is 450 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,599 also really important, in other words, put people first. As soon as 451 00:40:20,599 --> 00:40:24,119 you allow your passion or your project to become more important than the people, 452 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,719 you've lost your way. So anyway, that's getting off my soapbox. Thank 453 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,599 you, John, thank you j D. Thank you, Mark Hamby Kathy 454 00:40:35,679 --> 00:40:39,119 Buchanan, Paul McCusker, John Campbell, my older brother Josh, and my 455 00:40:39,199 --> 00:40:44,719 parents, Mike and Susy, my friends Alex Lerma and Robert Brace, and 456 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:49,119 so many others for all that each of you have invested me in me over 457 00:40:49,119 --> 00:40:52,559 the years. Thank you to Jesus my beloved creator who is my greatest role 458 00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:58,599 model for creating with artistry.

I think Nato is a great example 467 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:06,800 of putting in the work and grinding to make a career in this space and 468 00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:12,320 it's paid off. And now you can hear his voice in so many different 469 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,000 audio dramas and he's a great talent and I appreciate him taking the time to 470 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:21,320 speak to us here tonight at the Seneca Awards.

David cochran Heath was born in nineteen fifty two and worked in 522 00:48:53,039 --> 00:48:59,159 radio and theater for around four decades. He voiced characters for computer games and 523 00:48:59,199 --> 00:49:04,280 public television, hosted an instructional video series for automotive repair, and was the 524 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,559 narrator for the long running radio program Pause and Tales. David lived in a 525 00:49:08,639 --> 00:49:13,519 village in the Philippines for four years as a teenager, and as an adult 526 00:49:13,599 --> 00:49:17,559 lived with his wife Beth in Michigan, Washington, and California.

David got his love of stories from his father, who was a 533 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,840 preacher for twenty five years, a missionary for another eighteen years, and a 534 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,760 lifelong lover of the most important story of all, God's Plan of redemption in 535 00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:00,960 all sixty six books of the Bible. On August fourteenth, twenty twenty two, 536 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:07,800 in Leavenworth, Washington, our team put together a little real to pay 537 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:15,000 tribute to this great talent, Pardie, and Welcome to wild Wood. When 538 00:50:15,079 --> 00:50:20,360 the club is looking for something exciting and unusual to do, they often end 539 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:23,960 up at the Collins Mansion. In the beginning, God created the heaven and 540 00:50:24,079 --> 00:50:29,480 the earth, and God said, let there be light, And there was 541 00:50:29,599 --> 00:50:34,239 light. I think it's a wonderful idea. Whoa, and the timing couldn't 542 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:39,760 be better. Who said that? I did? My name's DeMarcus, Alexander 543 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:46,199 DeMarcus and this is my home. Please forgive the unusual entrance, but I've 544 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:57,000 always enjoyed surprises. My name is Franco Fernando Yard Marcus me ma'amaculls me baku? 545 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:04,119 Is that fish? I smell fish? No, it's snake snake? 546 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:09,320 See it tastes like chicken. You would like. Oh, I'm sure it'll 547 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:15,079 be great. You'll have maybe here we eat no bite there, let's goods. 548 00:51:16,119 --> 00:51:19,840 How can you live on this island? I would not leave here all 549 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,880 the time. But I know the snakes. I think like a snake. 550 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:30,960 Now I am herpetologies. Oh I like the field work. No here, 551 00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:35,960 I study these snakes. This golden lance head snakes here on the islands. 552 00:51:36,159 --> 00:51:44,079 To get bit by these snoris Oh, he's no window. Many die now 553 00:51:44,159 --> 00:51:47,440 we eat it. You're lucky we found you when we did. I feel 554 00:51:47,519 --> 00:51:51,880 much better when we get out of these waters. We'll head back to the 555 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,239 island as quickly as possible. It will take us so till morning, I 556 00:51:55,320 --> 00:52:01,519 should imagine. Okay, I'm Kendall Park Derek Rayfit. Follow my directions. 557 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:07,320 What are your wishes for the Americans? I want them left to find howards 558 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:14,400 work for us. But maybe these hapless families will actually be useful to us 559 00:52:15,039 --> 00:52:19,599 in another way. What do you mean the friendly With all of this attention 560 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:24,079 from the media, the timing could not be more person Now is the time 561 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:30,360 for a major discovery. Check the radar. Big storm coming in tonight. 562 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:37,519 We're grounded. Only one flight out tonight. That's supply heelo right there. 563 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:45,320 Ah, we could we That's a private charter, very private. No passengers, 564 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,519 don't even try. Those guys are pretty uptight about anybody asking questions. 565 00:52:51,079 --> 00:52:57,000 Totally on their own on these cylinders, the late mister Collins has recorded stories 566 00:52:57,079 --> 00:53:01,440 of how he escaped cannibal tribes, of his surviving months trapped on the Arctic 567 00:53:01,559 --> 00:53:07,199 ice, and best of all, he often recorded stories from the Bible while 568 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:12,400 he was standing on the very spot where they took place. I finished the 569 00:53:12,519 --> 00:53:16,679 last book last night. Alazer has all of them now, all five books. 570 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:23,639 I also wrote a song, a song teach them, the song Joshua. 571 00:53:24,559 --> 00:53:30,519 I will teach them. There's hope Joshua. It's in the last line 572 00:53:30,599 --> 00:53:35,639 of the song. Yes, I don't understand the full meaning of what he 573 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:44,159 gave me. It's something unusual, something beautiful, and something mysterious. All 574 00:53:44,199 --> 00:53:51,800 at once, God will provide atonement for his land for his people, and 575 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,599 God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no 576 00:53:54,719 --> 00:54:00,239 more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any pain. 577 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:05,159 For the former things are passed away. And the Spirit and the bride say, 578 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,800 come and let him. Let hear it, say come and let him 579 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:14,840 that is a thirst come, And whosoever will let him take the water of 580 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:24,440 life freely. Amen. What a wonderful talent. He will be missed, 581 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:34,280 and if you hadn't seen it. Our team also put together a written tribute 582 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:42,159 on the ATC website last year, and we spoke to several industry professionals that 583 00:54:42,559 --> 00:54:45,920 David worked with over the years and got some thoughts from them about their experiences 584 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:51,280 with him.

And if you're unfamiliar 600 00:56:14,119 --> 00:56:20,360 with the Lamplighter Guild, the Master's Guild is an institution that brings in masters 601 00:56:20,559 --> 00:56:25,440 in different disciplines to teach the arts, leadership, and theology in the state 602 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:30,239 of New York and they host the Summer Guild, which is a week long 603 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:35,039 event that does a deep dive into the creative arts such as scriptwriting, acting, 604 00:56:35,199 --> 00:56:39,400 music, composition, photography, and more. And many of the professionals 605 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:46,039 in this space have been instructors at that event, and you can find out 606 00:56:46,119 --> 00:56:51,760 more at the Master's Guild dot net. But we're going to feature a short 607 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:57,760 piece that was produced at the Guild and it is called The Cobbler's Cobbler. 608 00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,320 And this was written by a Guild student, and I believe his name is 609 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:08,800 pronounced Lucas Colissar. Apologies Lucas if I butchered your surname, I do apologize. 610 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:15,400 But he wrote this piece with assistance from Phil Lawlor and Phil also directed 611 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:20,800 and produced this piece and sound design was by Alan Hurley and music by John 612 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:34,920 Campbell. So let's take a listen to the Cobbler's Cobbler. Once upon a 613 00:57:35,039 --> 00:57:38,559 time the land of Peridom, that lived a cobbler named Ron Hullo, but 614 00:57:38,639 --> 00:57:45,760 not the type that made shoes run, made cobblers, one RedBerry cobbler, 615 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:52,559 one blueberry cobbler, and one snarlsberry cobbler. Yes, cobblers were his life, 616 00:57:52,079 --> 00:57:57,719 nay his obsession. He ate cobblers for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 617 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:02,280 He thought cobblers, hawked cobblers, and even dreamed of cobblers. He 618 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:07,320 was so wrapped up with cobblers he didn't even have time for his family, 619 00:58:07,639 --> 00:58:13,679 Oh Ron, cobbler head. He neglected them so much that once, when 620 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:19,159 Ron was on an overnight cobbler making trip in Sweden, the unthinkable happened. 621 00:58:19,719 --> 00:58:30,000 His family packed up and left. But that didn't bother Ron. He just 622 00:58:30,199 --> 00:58:38,559 kept on making cobblers, peach cobblers, banana cobblers, gobbler cobblers. Then 623 00:58:38,679 --> 00:58:43,599 one day the King of Paridon and his royal servant came to ron shop. 624 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:49,119 Good day, mister Ron, royal servant, tell him what kind of cobbler 625 00:58:49,199 --> 00:58:54,679 I want his royal majesty The King of Paridon to the throne of his father, 626 00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:59,800 the King. Long may he live, bless it, May he be 627 00:59:00,199 --> 00:59:04,960 in all his majestic rule of Parydom. May his children be praised for their 628 00:59:05,039 --> 00:59:09,760 noble deeds and clean ears. The King of Erynham requests from you, gone 629 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:19,199 of Perydam, may strawberry gobbler. Wait wait, I don't want strawberry. 630 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:25,599 I prefer apple cobbler. Go action his royal Majesty, the King of Perydam, 631 00:59:25,719 --> 00:59:30,199 heir to the throne of his father, the King. Nor may he 632 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:35,679 live blessed, may he be in all his majestic rule of Perydam. Actually, 633 00:59:36,559 --> 00:59:42,239 I think I'll stick with the strawberry gor action of the correction, his 634 00:59:42,599 --> 00:59:46,239 royal Majesty, the King of Paridam, And to the jest say it, 635 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:52,079 Henry H. Apple, one apple for his highness coming up. When the 636 00:59:52,239 --> 00:59:59,599 King tried the cobbler delicious, he was very pleased. I'm very pleased, 637 01:00:00,159 --> 01:00:06,199 royal servant. Tell Ron I'm Betty pleased. Here's royal highnesses Betty pleased. 638 01:00:07,079 --> 01:00:12,599 So I heard. Honestly, Ronnie Kins, these cobblers are outstanding. Well, 639 01:00:12,719 --> 01:00:15,599 you know our motto. If you don't like it, will at least 640 01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:19,559 say we're sorry. Tell you what, Ronnie Baby, I want you to 641 01:00:19,639 --> 01:00:22,000 make cobblows for me at the castle. What do you say? Do I 642 01:00:22,119 --> 01:00:27,679 have a choice now? Then I accept. Ron was overjoyed. He was 643 01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,519 on top of the world and looking down on creation. Hm, I think 644 01:00:31,559 --> 01:00:36,360 there's a song in there somewhere. He raced to the castle where the king 645 01:00:36,519 --> 01:00:43,440 was waiting. Listen up, everybody, one one here will now be making 646 01:00:43,559 --> 01:00:49,119 cobblers for us. Well, Ronnie b donny, what are you doing just 647 01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,960 milling about? Go make us some cobblers. Oh uh, yes, sire, 648 01:00:53,320 --> 01:01:00,679 So Ron made cobblers for the King and his court. Out standing, 649 01:01:00,239 --> 01:01:05,559 we must have more cobblers. Double this time, you lazy bum make me 650 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,320 cobblers. Ron made more cobblers as fast as he could, then gave them 651 01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:16,159 to the King in his court again, even outstanding her, we must have 652 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:22,119 even more cobblers. Tripple this time. Uh, that's an awful lot of 653 01:01:22,199 --> 01:01:27,000 cobblers. Kingy are you sure you want that many? Do I look like 654 01:01:27,079 --> 01:01:32,599 I'm mansure you cobbler face? Yes? So Ron made thirty six trays full 655 01:01:32,679 --> 01:01:43,480 of cobblers, which of course took him an awfully long time. Outstanding aest, 656 01:01:44,519 --> 01:01:47,440 we must have more of the illbet who said you could talk? Well, 657 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,679 I haven't had a line for a while, so I just thought, 658 01:01:51,719 --> 01:01:55,079 who's the king around here? Anyway? It's my kingdom, so I'll do 659 01:01:55,280 --> 01:02:00,320 the talking, did you, Ron? Ron, make us ten time more 660 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:05,719 cobblers, and this time make them a little faster or else. The task 661 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,960 was impossible for any one man to do alone, but Ron still tried He 662 01:02:10,159 --> 01:02:15,239 whipped up the next batch of cobblers as fast as he could, but not 663 01:02:15,719 --> 01:02:23,000 fast enough. The King was livid, lividly livid. When Ron came to 664 01:02:23,079 --> 01:02:31,039 the King's court to apologize, he was met by twenty castle guards. First 665 01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:37,079 they took all his money, Second they kicked him out of the castle. 666 01:02:38,719 --> 01:02:46,400 Then they bouldozed his house, and finally they plucked out all his nose hair 667 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:54,719 and blew it in his face. Ron was penniless, jobless, homeless, 668 01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:01,280 and nos hairless. He was reduced to begging door to door. Then one 669 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:07,320 day, hello, would it be okay if I Standing at the door was 670 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:14,039 his aunt, Sandra lu Ron, and behind her was his whole family. 671 01:03:15,559 --> 01:03:19,960 Cobbler brain, what are you all doing here? We've always been here in 672 01:03:20,039 --> 01:03:22,440 the house on the other side of the street from you, just waiting for 673 01:03:22,519 --> 01:03:25,199 you to come see us. But I thought you left. We did to 674 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:29,920 the other side of the street. We didn't leave leave your big silly We 675 01:03:30,079 --> 01:03:32,079 just decided to give you some space because we thought you didn't want us around. 676 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:37,639 I guess I was pretty full of myself. I'm sorry everyone. I 677 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:42,360 was so obsessed with my cobblers I didn't even know something more important was here 678 01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:49,159 for me all along, all of you, all Ron a cobler head. 679 01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,679 I know how you can make it up to us, How make us a 680 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:59,280 nice big cobbler dinner, gray cobbler breath. And so Ron ended up back 681 01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:03,239 at home with the people who loved him, And this time he learned to 682 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:09,480 love them too, even more than he loved his cobblance. And that's a 683 01:04:09,639 --> 01:04:19,760 lesson we should all take to heart. Oh that is so fun.

Yes, I'm that Chris from Adventures in Odyssey. 774 01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:29,560 Wait, where's my theme music? Well, Hi, everybody. I am 775 01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,439 thrilled that I was asked to share a little bit about my journey and my 776 01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:36,079 voice work with you, and to be a part of the Seneca Awards. 777 01:14:36,159 --> 01:14:42,319 This is really special audio drama and Adventures in Odyssey has been a very big 778 01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,720 part of my life. Believe it or not, I'm as much a fan 779 01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:50,399 of Adventures in Odyssey as everyone is. I really love what they do and 780 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:55,760 how they do it, and what an amazing group of people who are so 781 01:14:56,039 --> 01:15:00,479 gifted and talented. I know these guys very well and They've been around me, 782 01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:04,800 and I've been around them for thirty five years. Is that amazing? 783 01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:11,199 And audio drama for thirty five years. They are truly like a second family 784 01:15:11,319 --> 01:15:15,079 to me, and they put up with me because I'm a real goofball who 785 01:15:15,199 --> 01:15:20,399 sees life through a very funny filter and I just love to make people laugh 786 01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:25,920 and smile, and that's a real special part of my world. Anyways, 787 01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:30,000 I just wanted to say how much I love being a part of the show, 788 01:15:30,039 --> 01:15:31,920 and some of the things that go on behind the scenes you'll never know. 789 01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:38,840 I remember times where I'm reading credits at the end of the show, 790 01:15:39,079 --> 01:15:42,520 and you know, these guys know how to make me laugh. So they'll 791 01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:46,159 write in names that I cannot pronounce when I say the cast includes, and 792 01:15:46,239 --> 01:15:48,840 then I speak the names, and then they write a name that is so 793 01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:53,439 long that I have no idea how to pronounce it, And there they are 794 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:58,399 behind the glass in the recording booth, laughing at me because I'm stumbling all 795 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,960 over myself trying to pronounce a name that doesn't really exist. So, yeah, 796 01:16:03,079 --> 01:16:09,039 we have lots of fun doing Adventures in Odyssey. Another thing I do 797 01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:14,520 is I make phone calls to people sometimes we'll have a special contest, or 798 01:16:15,159 --> 01:16:17,520 just somebody in need of a phone call, maybe to be cheered up, 799 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:21,960 or a birthday or an illness. I get to call them directly and say, 800 01:16:23,039 --> 01:16:25,880 Hi, this is Chris. And every once in a while I get 801 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,760 get a parent on there that says, well, don't you want to talk 802 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,880 to me? You know, I called for your kid, because a lot 803 01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:36,239 of these adults have listened to Adventures in Hodyssey when they were kids, and 804 01:16:36,359 --> 01:16:42,000 now they're kids have grown up and they're listening to Adventures in Odyssey. But 805 01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,079 actually I love talking to whoever picks up the phone, and I've had some 806 01:16:45,279 --> 01:16:50,199 great conversations with some Adventures in Odyssey fans. I'll just happen to call in 807 01:16:50,279 --> 01:16:56,159 the middle of somebody who's going into surgery the next day and needed for me 808 01:16:56,279 --> 01:17:00,560 to just encourage them, or some some kid who is in school and he's 809 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:03,680 having trouble making friends. I'll give him some tips on you know, how 810 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:09,000 to do that. And it's just it's really sweet to talk to people and 811 01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:13,239 I just love that. And also I get to play parts on the show. 812 01:17:14,079 --> 01:17:17,880 Emma Darling, Very Odd Mother, Madge, Maud, Miss Grayson, 813 01:17:18,039 --> 01:17:23,520 Missus, Randolph Yeah, people don't know. It's me and missus Randolphish wonder 814 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:27,880 of my very favorite parts. She just came back this year. She had 815 01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:31,000 a part written for her, and I'm just thrilled that I got to be 816 01:17:31,399 --> 01:17:36,039 on the show and doing a role again. Some of you might remember me 817 01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:42,640 playing the part of Madge as in the Gifts of Madgine Guy Will Ryan played 818 01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:47,039 Guy, and Madge was a very sweet, innocent Oh she sounded like this. 819 01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:53,800 Everything she said was so so sweet, and Guy, I love you. 820 01:17:55,279 --> 01:17:59,880 Will Ryan and I had a blast doing that part together. I really 821 01:18:00,119 --> 01:18:03,319 been fortunate to have worked so long in this crazy business. I think I've 822 01:18:03,359 --> 01:18:09,319 been everything you can imagine, from old women to little kids, to talking 823 01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:15,760 dogs to munchkins. Hi there, I'm a munchkin. I had the silliest 824 01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:20,079 life, but I love it and I'm grateful for every single part I've ever 825 01:18:20,199 --> 01:18:25,760 gotten. I mean I've I've done commercials and video games and animation, and 826 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,159 you guys must be pretty sick of me by now, but I am grateful, 827 01:18:29,239 --> 01:18:31,800 and I'm always always surprised when I do book the job. A lot 828 01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:36,960 of you know that I was Barbie for many years. I did her voice, 829 01:18:38,239 --> 01:18:42,520 starting in nineteen ninety four, I was cast for Barbie, and she 830 01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:45,520 really didn't have a voice at that time. You know, she had a 831 01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,960 few projects that were done through the years, but they really hadn't established a 832 01:18:49,039 --> 01:18:54,520 voice. So I got a chance to bring her to life. And remember 833 01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,399 thinking in my mind, I don't want her to sound silly or kind of 834 01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:00,439 an airhead, and I want her to be like every little girl's friend. 835 01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:05,079 So Barbie finally had a voice, and we recorded hundreds and hundreds of toys 836 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:11,359 with Barbie's voice in it. We had Super Talk Barbie and Dentist Barbie, 837 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:17,199 working Woman Barbie, Cool Shopping Barbie. We had Spanish speaking Barbie, which 838 01:19:17,239 --> 01:19:21,079 they had to teach me Spanish so I could record her voice in Spanish. 839 01:19:21,279 --> 01:19:26,560 And then we had computer games for girls. Oh how fun that was. 840 01:19:27,319 --> 01:19:33,279 There was Hairstyler Barbie, Super Sport Barbie, Detective Barbie. And then they 841 01:19:33,359 --> 01:19:39,760 had the big one, which was Fashion Designer computer game that was so big 842 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:44,920 and so popular that this year they inducted it into the World Video Game Hall 843 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,840 of Fame. It was very exciting, and I remember as I looked back 844 01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:51,880 at all the little girls that wanted to hear Barbie and they would come knock 845 01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:58,439 at my front door and I had to say, Hi, it's me Barbie. 846 01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:02,319 Okay, close your eyes, because sometimes I wouldn't be dressed looking like 847 01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:06,000 Barbie at all, and I would think, oh, no, I'm going 848 01:20:06,039 --> 01:20:12,439 to ruin the image of Barbie. My daughter was five years old at the 849 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:16,439 time, and she loved Barbie. She did not know that I was Barbie's 850 01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:21,359 voice, and that became a very interesting thing for her because your favorite dolls 851 01:20:21,399 --> 01:20:26,920 Barbie. Do you want your mom to be Barbie? No, So we 852 01:20:27,119 --> 01:20:31,359 laugh about that. It was a great time in my career doing her voice. 853 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:35,600 But you know, out of the forty years of doing voice acting, 854 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:41,520 I really feel like if everything goes away, and I don't really want to 855 01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:45,319 be known as the greatest voice actress. I really do want to be known 856 01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,600 as someone who was kind and fun and caring. And I mean, those 857 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:53,239 are the things that mattered to me. And if you're going into voice acting, 858 01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:56,239 or you're going to be in this career, it make sure you have 859 01:20:56,760 --> 01:21:01,439 a perspective and don't compare to anybody else. It's your journey. I'm very 860 01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:06,359 grateful that I've had so many wonderful things happen in my voice work. But 861 01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:12,039 I must say I really believe that without God in my life, none of 862 01:21:12,119 --> 01:21:15,560 this would have been possible. I so appreciate the fact that you guys are 863 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:20,399 doing such an amazing job. I really admire the hard work that goes into 864 01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:25,560 it and how you guys have stayed so dedicated to it. Good luck to 865 01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:30,079 everyone who's a part of the awards this year.

Congratulations. Well, I mentioned 913 01:26:36,119 --> 01:26:41,680 at the top of the broadcast that we are going to be premiering a teaser 914 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,800 for a brand new show this year, and I am really excited about this. 915 01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:55,359 This is a new show called Retold World War Two. Nearly twenty years 916 01:26:55,399 --> 01:27:00,000 ago, Paul Leffler founded the Hometown Heroes radio show. His mission was simple, 917 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:04,680 preserve the stories of World War Two veterans, reminding the world of their 918 01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:11,600 valor and sacrifice. Paul has gathered more than one thousand interviews with veterans of 919 01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:15,880 World War Two alone. Recently, a new idea formed, and that was 920 01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:23,359 to introduce future generations to these heroes through a dramatized audio podcast, and so 921 01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:30,560 Hometown Creative Studios was born. They are taking these stories that were gleaned from 922 01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:36,119 these interviews from World War Two veterans and dramatizing them and interspersing them with this 923 01:27:36,399 --> 01:27:43,399 interview audio from these veterans. There are hundreds of stories to tell, and 924 01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:46,720 the team can't wait to inspire and awe audiences with the courage of these great 925 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:55,439 Americans. Hometown Creative Studios presents the dramatized audio podcast Retold World War Two. 926 01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:03,119 Now the teaser you're going to hear is focusing on the story of Irwin Stavroff. 927 01:28:04,319 --> 01:28:08,840 Irwin knew as soon as he heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor he 928 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:13,079 would be joining the war effort. He volunteered to be an Air Corps pilot, 929 01:28:13,159 --> 01:28:16,880 but soon learned that additional pilots weren't needed, so he settled for becoming 930 01:28:17,159 --> 01:28:23,920 Obamadere. After his final mission, Stavroff expected to return safely to his beloved 931 01:28:24,079 --> 01:28:28,319 United States. Flight crews were limited to thirty five missions at the time. 932 01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,960 However, mission number thirty five, a simple in and out assignment known to 933 01:28:32,119 --> 01:28:36,479 flyboys as a milk run, would prove to be unlike any other he had 934 01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:44,680 ever experienced. We now present to you the teaser four Retold World War Two. 935 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,039 First place, We started off her right at twenty five, and then 936 01:28:58,079 --> 01:29:01,479 they raised it to thirty, and then after thirty they said, you know, 937 01:29:02,359 --> 01:29:05,399 we'll never fly more than thirty five, and they were certainly right in 938 01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:09,079 my case, because you know, if we do get the cruise, and 939 01:29:09,159 --> 01:29:13,840 we were still losing a lot of cruise, you know that we won't. 940 01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:16,319 You will not have to go to the thirty fifth mission. Well, we 941 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:21,079 did, and the thirty fifth mission, which was our last, preally truly 942 01:29:21,239 --> 01:29:27,640 was our last. And all right, you ate, let's dump these eggs 943 01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,640 so I can go home. Back to Betsy. I've been meaning to tell 944 01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:36,239 you Russia. Don't call me Russia. I got a letter from your Betsy, 945 01:29:38,119 --> 01:29:43,199 something about some four f guy down the street named Charlie. Aren't you 946 01:29:43,359 --> 01:29:45,960 a ray of sunshine? Hey? I do my best? How do you 947 01:29:46,159 --> 01:29:51,840 get by without your mommy rocking you to sleep every night? You worked all 948 01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:59,560 day on that one, didn't you. You guys every mission the same thing. 949 01:30:00,079 --> 01:30:02,840 Hey, he started it? All right, listen up, tell us 950 01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:09,520 this is a milk run, quick and simple. After this, we've done 951 01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:14,600 enough missions to go home. Sounds good to me. But the Jerry's well, 952 01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:17,199 they don't know that they're going to be right on our tail the whole 953 01:30:17,279 --> 01:30:21,479 time. Understood. What did I ever do to them? Probably annoyed them 954 01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:28,000 like you do everyone else. All right, here we go, stay frosty 955 01:30:28,119 --> 01:30:33,760 boys. Keep your eyes at ears open, yes, sir. What happened 956 01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:39,960 is there was several bursts of flak and we got hit on our number one 957 01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:45,000 and number two engines and the hydraulic system failed. We're hit where it hit, 958 01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:53,479 timed up failed. I'll hold her as long as I can see you. 959 01:30:53,600 --> 01:31:00,159 On the day, whole days, everything was failing. There was fire 960 01:31:00,239 --> 01:31:06,119 coming into the ship and so we had to bail out. I was in 961 01:31:06,199 --> 01:31:11,760 the nose of the planes, so I jumped through the nosewall door and fortunately 962 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:23,039 every one of us got out of the plane before it exploded. I got 963 01:31:23,159 --> 01:31:27,520 rid of my dogs eggs because I'm Jewish and it had h on there, 964 01:31:28,199 --> 01:31:31,119 so knowing where I was going, I decided the best thing I could do 965 01:31:31,359 --> 01:31:34,960 was get rid of my dog t eggs because they were shooting at me as 966 01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:38,359 I was coming down, so there was no way they would say I was 967 01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:42,520 a spy that they had picked up in the country. And I did land 968 01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,239 right in the German front lines, and I was I was captured immediately and 969 01:31:45,359 --> 01:31:57,960 down of the cone.

A Tale of Tierney from Soul Twin 1001 01:35:25,079 --> 01:35:30,720 Audio Network, Nick Guy and The Phantom of the Ice Opera Affair Nick Guy, 1002 01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:36,079 Private Eye from Dominion Artists, Pirateiers Season three, Episode one from Eternal 1003 01:35:36,199 --> 01:35:45,640 Future Productions, Three Christmas Trees from marky Witz Audio Works, Undercover Engagement from 1004 01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:55,439 Drama FI, and the winner of the twenty twenty two People's Choice Audio Drama 1005 01:35:55,600 --> 01:36:01,359 of the Year with nearly sixty percent of the vote. The winner is Pirateers 1006 01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:08,199 season three, episode one. My recommendation would be to talk at the nearest 1007 01:36:08,279 --> 01:36:13,520 port, to finish repairs there and re stop. Aye. Methinks that'd be 1008 01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:17,960 a wise plan, would you agree, Ocean Indeed, sir, the crew 1009 01:36:18,079 --> 01:36:23,000 are weary as well. Some time on solid ground we would do them some 1010 01:36:23,159 --> 01:36:30,960 good, though I'm not entirely sure where the nearest port would be. We 1011 01:36:30,079 --> 01:36:34,319 were blown a good ways off course in the storm, and we've been adrift 1012 01:36:34,399 --> 01:36:39,680 for some time while making our repairs. If I may, sir, I 1013 01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:44,359 did some calculating last night, and I figure we should be somewhere about to 1014 01:36:45,199 --> 01:36:51,279 hear. Really, I believe so, sir, So that would mean the 1015 01:36:51,399 --> 01:37:00,840 nearest port would be m That's interesting what's interesting. I can't exactly hear what 1016 01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:06,680 your finger is pointing to. Oh apologis captain. If Conway's calculations are correct, 1017 01:37:08,239 --> 01:37:15,920 then the nearest poet would be help poso, help poso. Oh my 1018 01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:31,600 I sir, congratulations two pirateers and the team at Eternal Future Productions. Well, 1019 01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:35,560 it is always bittersweet to come to the end of the award show, 1020 01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:41,399 but what a night. It is always so much fun.

Congratulations to all of tonight's winners. I'm 1047 01:39:56,479 --> 01:40:01,079 Heidi Stewart. Good night. All right, let's go ahead and hear from 1048 01:40:01,159 --> 01:40:06,279 this year's winners. I'm going to keep my comments to a minimum because now 1049 01:40:06,359 --> 01:40:10,640 it is time to hear from the winners. You heard enough from me in 1050 01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:15,279 the replay there, and so I'm not going to add a bunch of comments 1051 01:40:15,319 --> 01:40:17,359 in between each one. We're just going to try to move through these so 1052 01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:23,800 you can hear from the winners and not have too much interruption by me. 1053 01:40:24,159 --> 01:40:29,880 So we'll listen to these in the same order in which they were announced in 1054 01:40:30,079 --> 01:40:32,600 the broadcast. So we're going to start with the best cover art, which 1055 01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:39,039 went to Straight On Till Dawn from The Brinkman Adventures. And here is the 1056 01:40:39,159 --> 01:40:44,560 winner. Hey, Audio Theater Centro. This is Ian with Brinkman Adventures, 1057 01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:48,760 and I wanted to thank you and the Seneca Awards for the award for the 1058 01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:56,079 Best Cover Design last year for our Straight Until Dawn release. That picture was 1059 01:40:56,720 --> 01:41:02,479 designed by Mimi Roberts and John Trent from John Trent Designs. We came up 1060 01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:06,640 with the idea and then they executed it and did a great job. That 1061 01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:14,720 picture captures the two part story in that release called She Is Mine Part one 1062 01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:17,880 and Part two that was written by Derby Kern and adapted from the book She 1063 01:41:18,079 --> 01:41:23,960 Is Mine, a story about Stephanie Fast. It's an amazing story where this 1064 01:41:24,079 --> 01:41:27,880 little girl in the fifties was put on a train at the age of five 1065 01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:30,880 by her mother and said that her uncle would meet her when she gets off 1066 01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:34,439 the train. And after a day of writing, she gets off and there's 1067 01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:39,239 no uncle, and she tries to walk back, following the train tracks back 1068 01:41:39,279 --> 01:41:44,560 to her village and she walks the South Korean countryside for three years and is 1069 01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:49,520 eventually really in bad shape and ends up in a hospital and then an orphanage 1070 01:41:49,600 --> 01:41:55,479 and then is adopted by Christian missionaries. It's an amazing story and Derby did 1071 01:41:55,520 --> 01:41:59,720 a great job writing it, and I feel like John Trent and Mimi Roberts 1072 01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:04,199 did a great job and capturing that story in that cover. So again, 1073 01:42:04,359 --> 01:42:11,199 thank you Audio Theater Centro, JD and team and the Seneca Awards. We 1074 01:42:11,319 --> 01:42:15,159 are grateful, all right. And next up is the Best Script, which 1075 01:42:15,359 --> 01:42:19,720 was The Lost One written by Marshall Younger. So let's hear from Marshall, 1076 01:42:20,640 --> 01:42:26,279 thank you for this This episode, The Lost One was was special to me 1077 01:42:26,479 --> 01:42:29,680 because it reached me. It was important to me on a personal level. 1078 01:42:30,399 --> 01:42:33,479 And when you put your heart and soul into a project, it's it's so 1079 01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:39,119 gratifying when the people around you also put their hearts and souls into it. 1080 01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,560 And so I have a lot of people to think because that's exactly what happened. 1081 01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:47,319 First of all, Katie Lee and Andre Stoika for their their acting performances. 1082 01:42:49,119 --> 01:42:54,720 So Natalie Lander who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, Mike Shapiro who 1083 01:42:54,880 --> 01:43:00,600 was who won for Best Supporting Actor, and then Kelly Stables who won for 1084 01:43:00,159 --> 01:43:05,000 Best Actress, who played our lead Olivia Parker. She was amazing and she 1085 01:43:05,119 --> 01:43:11,319 made me cry in the control room. Also want to thank John Campbell for 1086 01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:16,319 his wonderful music and Jonathan Crowe who was nominated for Best Sound Design. This 1087 01:43:16,520 --> 01:43:20,600 was his swan song. This was his last episode that he did before he 1088 01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:24,920 retired. Let me tell you he did not mail it in. It was 1089 01:43:25,039 --> 01:43:29,920 it was. It was beautiful what he did with the sound design. I 1090 01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:34,159 also want to thank JD and and people over there at ATC and the people 1091 01:43:34,199 --> 01:43:39,920 behind the Scenecal Awards for just continuing to emphasize the power of audio drama. 1092 01:43:41,319 --> 01:43:45,640 It has been one of the most, if not the most gratifying thing of 1093 01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:54,239 my career to read the letters and emails and posts about people who removed by 1094 01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:59,680 this episode, people that were in the same position as Olivia Parker, or 1095 01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:03,199 people who knew others who had friends who were in the position of Olivia Parker, 1096 01:44:03,239 --> 01:44:08,800 and how this episode spoke to them, how the Holy Spirit spoke to 1097 01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:13,279 them through it. I cannot tell you how how gratifying that was or has 1098 01:44:13,359 --> 01:44:18,239 been, and so I thank JD for continuing to emphasize that because of the 1099 01:44:18,319 --> 01:44:24,680 importance of that and using this medium. So thank you so much for this 1100 01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:30,880 award and for Best Original Score category twenty eight hours, which was composed by 1101 01:44:30,079 --> 01:44:36,479 John Campbell.

I 1103 01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:45,600 am once again honored to have received an award for some of the music I've 1104 01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:49,960 written. This one is for the Adventures in Odyssey's twenty eight Hours episodes, 1105 01:44:50,319 --> 01:44:54,920 but I could not have done this without the help of some very talented folks. 1106 01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:59,600 A huge thanks goes to the writer of twenty eight Hours, Kathy Buchanan, 1107 01:45:00,039 --> 01:45:03,319 had an amazing job working on this show, and also our show producers 1108 01:45:03,439 --> 01:45:08,920 and sound designers, Luke Gono and Zach Schneider. But most importantly, I 1109 01:45:09,039 --> 01:45:13,720 thank the Lord Jesus. He is the one that brought this phenomenal team together 1110 01:45:14,159 --> 01:45:17,840 and has allowed us to share the gospel in such a unique and exciting way, 1111 01:45:18,119 --> 01:45:23,159 and that's the reason why we do this. Blessings to all. Thanks 1112 01:45:23,199 --> 01:45:29,159 again, and the Best Sound Design winner was also twenty eight Hours, and 1113 01:45:29,319 --> 01:45:33,880 our winners were Luke Gono and Zach Schneider.

It's really special for 1116 01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:46,640 guys like us. Yeah, yeah, it means a lot. So I 1117 01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:50,039 just wanted to say, for the past two years that I've been with Odyssey, 1118 01:45:50,079 --> 01:45:55,279 I've really learned a whole lot from the other sound designers, people like 1119 01:45:55,439 --> 01:45:59,239 Luke, So getting to work with these guys is really a dream come true 1120 01:45:59,319 --> 01:46:03,199 for me. So honestly, if I were to accept this award in the 1121 01:46:03,279 --> 01:46:06,000 name of somebody else, I would say thank you to the rest of the 1122 01:46:06,039 --> 01:46:10,800 team. And this was like the first big project Zach and I worked on 1123 01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:15,640 together and it was really fun to collaborate with them, And this project was 1124 01:46:15,119 --> 01:46:19,520 a great reminder of how fun it can be to work on a project with 1125 01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:24,600 someone. To be part of a team at a long term project or a 1126 01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:29,399 long form project like this really gives you a lot of time to get to 1127 01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,279 know each other and spend time getting to know how the other person works, 1128 01:46:32,560 --> 01:46:35,239 so that can be a lot of fun. Yeah, so thank you, 1129 01:46:35,720 --> 01:46:40,119 thank you, j D and all this notic a team man.

So many times we as artists work in these rooms, 1137 01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:15,840 all by ourselves, with people in our heads over headphones, and we have 1138 01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:19,239 no idea of what we do makes a difference. And it's really nice to 1139 01:47:19,279 --> 01:47:23,319 win an award from time to time, so thank you.

This was when I won previously for another project, and I'm 1143 01:47:35,079 --> 01:47:39,039 really honored and blessed by you all. Thank you so much, God bless 1144 01:47:39,079 --> 01:47:45,199 you. Best Supporting Actor category. The winner was Mike Shapiro as Leonid Stepanov 1145 01:47:45,359 --> 01:47:48,079 in The Lost One.

Andy Harvey take 1159 01:48:57,159 --> 01:49:00,279 it away, Andy. Hi, I'm Andy Harvey. I'm extremely honored to 1160 01:49:00,319 --> 01:49:04,840 accept the twenty twenty two Seneca Award for Best Leading Actor. This award means 1161 01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:09,199 a lot to me, and I'd like to thank Tracy Vandolder for amazing writing 1162 01:49:09,279 --> 01:49:13,760 and for creating Witnesses, and Daniel Cross for helping me with the Hebrew pronunciations. 1163 01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:17,039 I've been a professional actor for fifteen years, but I didn't get into 1164 01:49:17,119 --> 01:49:21,199 voiceover until about three years ago. My first role in voiceover was Black Donald 1165 01:49:21,239 --> 01:49:26,439 and Lamplighter Theater's The Hidden Hand. I was also honored to be nominated for 1166 01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:30,399 a Seneca award for that God has led me on a wild ride. Since 1167 01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:32,720 then, I've played well over a hundred characters in various projects all over the 1168 01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,279 world. I'm excited to keep growing as a voice actor and to work with 1169 01:49:36,359 --> 01:49:41,960 the amazing people in this industry. My thanks to JD and Audio Theater Central, 1170 01:49:42,319 --> 01:49:45,800 the Senecas and the voting committee. The Senecas are very important to me, 1171 01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:49,279 and I know many many others agree. It's a really really special event. 1172 01:49:49,760 --> 01:49:54,560 Thank you again.

Thank you people who have listened and 1181 01:50:38,159 --> 01:50:43,720 have encouraged us as we've continued on and several truck stops and diners on the 1182 01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:48,359 way too, and from Sonic on where this whole idea was created. We 1183 01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:53,319 just wanted to come up with an idea for a show and we did that, 1184 01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:56,319 and when we got to Sonicon, we talked to a couple of people 1185 01:50:56,359 --> 01:50:58,840 about it and they were all like, Hey, I want to I want 1186 01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:02,760 to be part of this.

I have probably learned more through this writing process 1190 01:51:18,199 --> 01:51:26,319 than in thirty plus years of writing. So thank you to Darby. To 1191 01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:30,279 my wife who not only encouraged me to after I lost my job in radio, 1192 01:51:30,399 --> 01:51:35,720 to go out there and pursue my creative dreams, but also puts up 1193 01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:41,159 with this weird thing that we do called audio drama. Yeah, I would 1194 01:51:41,199 --> 01:51:43,920 thank my family too, my wife, Bobby, Joe, my two two 1195 01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:46,960 girls, Elizabeth and Emma. Elizabeth is in the show and can't wait to 1196 01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:51,960 do some more acting with her. Yeah, just super excited to share with 1197 01:51:53,039 --> 01:51:58,439 you where the watch is going. So watch more story to come. Yes, 1198 01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:02,079 lots more crazy think is going to happen, so just be praying that 1199 01:52:02,199 --> 01:52:04,800 it all happens. Well. So all right, thank you very much. 1200 01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:11,880 And the winner of the Best Short Form Audio Drama was the Honor of obed 1201 01:52:12,079 --> 01:52:15,159 Edom. And here is the writer of that episode, Dave Arnold. Hi, 1202 01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:19,399 this is Dave Arnold. I'd like to give a huge thank you to 1203 01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:26,600 the Audio Theater Central Seneca Awards Committee. This is an amazing honor and I'm 1204 01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:30,640 very grateful to be recognized in this way. I'm also grateful to be able 1205 01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:38,560 to be a part of a great team that the Lord has used through adventures 1206 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:43,720 and odyssey over the last thirty six years. Now. Admittedly, it's only 1207 01:52:43,840 --> 01:52:48,279 through God's creative gifts that any of us can do anything of any real value. 1208 01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:57,439 This episode specifically talks about God honoring a man that we actually know very 1209 01:52:57,640 --> 01:53:01,399 little about. There's nothing more than a few verses in the Bible about Oba 1210 01:53:01,439 --> 01:53:05,359 to eat him. But I felt like his story was important to tell because 1211 01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:13,640 it shows the character of a man that's passionate to serve God at any cost, 1212 01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:18,680 and God's faithfulness to reward people that do that. God honors those who 1213 01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:24,920 honor him, and that's why I wanted to tell this story anyway. I 1214 01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:27,680 hope that we can all be in some way like Oba to eat him, 1215 01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:30,520 honoring God with our lives. I hope that you will do that in however 1216 01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:35,840 God calls you to serve Him. And again, I'm very grateful for the 1217 01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:40,680 award. Thank you guys so much. Bless you well. The Best long 1218 01:53:40,800 --> 01:53:45,560 Form Audio Drama winner was twenty eight Hours and the writer and director of those 1219 01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:51,119 six episodes was Kathy Buchanan.

We also want to give a huge thank 1240 01:55:25,119 --> 01:55:29,640 you to the Senecas and especially to JD. Sutter.
