Ask Him Yourself!

[Kc]

*no hurry on this one* I have read a few discussions about taking this beyond an audio drama to another medium like a motion picture. I think this would be excellent as a graphic novel series as well. : )

We hope to one day, but when it comes to the story, I want control or at least oversight. Some people might not like that.

I see but I meant more within the confines of the audio drama. I probably should have rephrase it to ask if he has ever incorporated any fan service into audiodrama coming from the forum discussion feedback.

Fan service? um... not sure what that means exactly, but the fans have become part of the show and help in a lot of ways. Britt and Greg were fans and now they help out tremendously, Stephen helps with the donations, and everyone who's an admin here helps with the forum. It's wonderful to have the help!

How Many Seasons Of WA Are You Planning On Producing?

If you all keep asking him stuff there won't be any questions for meltdown

Did you have formal instruction with working on the Audio for WA, ie class on using ProTools?
What programs do you use for the Audio?
What do you think if the growing fanbase and community and especially the growing popularity of the forum?
Do you get ideas from the Forum's Theories area for future writing? (this may have been asked already but I wanted to make sure to have a specific question for it)

1. Do I have formal training? Yes... it's a conglomeration of things. I have two broadcast engineering certifications and my BFA from college. In my engineering I was taught the core technical understandings of audio, mics, soundwaves, transmissions, etc... At school, I had an audio techniques course for one semester that helped get me started understanding Pro Tools. The rest has been from learning hands on. Just recently I took some extra Pro Tools Training and hope to be a certified operator in the next month or so.
2. Programs? Pro Tools we use for everything. The music stuff is different, but I don't compose anything, so I wouldn't know too much about what they use.
3. I love it! But we can always grow bigger! MOAR@!@
4. There are some things said that might have some influence here or there. It's hard to say what exactly, but I think one or two things. There is ONE thing for certain that came from a fan a long time ago that I've been saving up. More of a line of dialogue than anything.

1. When you're drafting the script, do you ever rewrite anything based on the feedback you get from the forums? (ie add a clue, take away a clue, alter dialogue, etc)
2. How strongly does fan feedback affect the production of WA?

1. Yes. I can honestly say I have. Mostly things that people didn't get the first time around or how to make something clearer. For instance when introducing Tardust, I made the mistake of NOT having his name said in the scene. That led to all sorts of confusion, and I was like... oopS!
2. I wear my emotions on my sleeve, so sometimes good and bad, the feedback effects little things. And then other time I let it roll off my back because fans have no idea what's coming next.

I think there will be plenty, and new ones too. And some people might ask these questions the night of anyway.

It's your baby and you want to see it grow. Nothing wrong with that. Thanks for replying.

Could you answer questions gathered from the forum at the live performance, time permitting?
