A very interesting email...

[Kc]

So, I received this email today. It's the first time I've received contact like this before, and you know how I love sharing these things...

Hi,

I subscribed to 'We're Alive' a couple of weeks ago. *It's very strange -
while the actors are unbelievably contrived and...well, just _bad_....
and while the accents that some of them affect are perhaps the worst
I've ever heard (in most cases I cannot tell you what the accent IS.
Is it British...? *Hispanic? *Something else? *Come on, guys - you must
admit that the reading of the script is laughingly inept and affected and wooden...),
and while the one-week wait for a 20-minute episode is waaaay too long -
all of this and more - believe me, I could go on...for some reason I find
myself listening to it. *I'm not sure why, frankly - it's certainly not for the
production or the acting, which are amateurish beyond belief. Could
you really not find anyone who can read with a little more aptitude?

But - you're making the effort, and I applaud that. *And I would really
suggest that if you're interested in making this something to be taken
seriously as audio drama, you're going to have to find actors with
at least SOME degree of believability.

All best,
PJB/"

From an alternate universe? Bizarro World? Maybe it's Backwards Day where he comes from.

Kc was kind enough to not attach the resume and acting reel of the composer of this email. He also omitted the post script begging for an audition....

Hey....even the Godfather got some bad reviews.

meh!
The main problem with Social Media. Everyone and their daddy is a critic or feels the need to open their pie holes.
These are the kind of people you "accidently" want to spill hot coffee (Or in Nik's case.. tea) on.

See them standing on the curb and drive through the mud puddle at their feet...........
...eat half their sandwich from the office fridge and put it back with a note saying "oops!"

It's true. I'd much prefer a nice jasmine tea to a cup o' joe.

Screw wasting a good cup of coffee or tea on him. I say kick his chair out from under him and then drop his lap top from a very tall height.

Probably parroting some inane dribble from a correspondence course on method acting. Give him the ol’ Groucho Marx and tell him that

“you would not cast anyone with the poor taste to like your stuff.”

There is also the “When I am good I am good. When I am bad, I am better.”

PJB...I so want to make fun of these initials by saying something like that it stands for Peanut Jelly and Butter, or backwards it probably stands for Blow Jobs Please...but that just would be uncharacteristically rude of me and a bit dry and perhaps even contrived. :l

Anyway, i guess everyone is entitled to an opinion. I'm just glad he doesn't represent the majority otherwise the amazing hard work that has gone into creating WA would go unappreciated. This forums existence alone should be more than enough to assuage the intended effects of that letter.
