I will talk about my experience in making an audio drama, although its not my first time to make it but it is the first time that someone with a higher knowledge about it would listen and have to grade my work. First of all the story is an inspired story of the tragic accident of Jesse Robredo. It is not the actual happening or the actual conversation. The story starts with the boss leaving his house. He is departing for Cebu and boarding with a private plane. With him is his bodyguard who is newly hired and a pilot who is expert in flying the Ceena model plane. While in the plane the boss and bodyguard talks and suddenly the plane is malfunctioning. For that the plane goes down and crashed in the ocean.
In making the script of an audio drama, I find it very different from making a script of normal plays. In audio drama you have to count for the actors conversation because there are no image to be seen to express the feeling therefore the feeling must come from their lines and the delivery of their lines. Also, the sounds effects details are importantly included in the script. This way the listener would know where the actor is or at and what is the actor doing. The experience of making the actual audio drama is exciting but the same with plays in theater, the acting is still very important. The expression and the feeling should be express well in voice actors.I know now that in making this kind of project, the script is very important. The script should have all the information of what the actor should do, the SFX that the operator would be adding and the lines should be more descriptive in a way that the listener would understand who is talking and where the scene is.
Lastly, an audio drama is not good if the script is lacking what I have mentioned above and an audio drama must have distinctive voice for the listener to know who is currently speaking. All in all the experience is really good but at the same time a challenging one for me because I was the one who thought of the story, making the script and directing the actors of their lines and expression. Is in my part if our audio drama lacks the feeling and expression.
