Here they are! The audio drama contest entries! I'm excited to check them all out. I hope you had fun putting these together. If I've omitted anyone, please holler and I'll edit this post! (Same with the titles) Ok, so here's how it will go. To vote, please listen to EVERY audio drama, then message me with your choice for the winner. (Remember, please dont factor sound quality into your picks since not everyone has a studio or microphone yet). Also, you have to vote for someone other than yourself! They're posted below: To Go or Stay - @Jessica Fisher Jack_ Red Riding Hood - @Kittie KaBoom Hag's Day Off - @Wesley Bryan Tryouts - @Alyssa Lewis The Scarlet Cord - @Jacob Herbel Secret Agent Man - @Blakeney Welch I'll tally the votes and select a winner, who will get a Blue Yeti microphone (or they can pick someone else to receive it and I'll send it to them) Winner will be announced Saturday, October 26. Also, stay tuned for our next contest...

Classic literature is one of the absolute best ways to practice. Try out this beloved psalm written in early 17th century English. Helpful tip: use word endings "th" and "est" to help with the flow of the narration. I think of them as little slingshots to get you from one word to the next without any pauses or silences. Post your recordings here in the comments if you're brave! "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

I love reading the Psalms and had a bit of fun with this one, and with some background music accompaniment too. I would probably change a couple of things if I were to do it again, however most importantly, I do hope that it encourages others to read/record them too. I hope you enjoy. 10 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

My name is Kino Loy. I'm the day shift manager on Level Five. I'm speaking to you from the command center on Level Eight. We are, at this moment, in control of the facility. How long we hang on, how far we get, how many of us make it out, all of that is now up to us. We have deactivated every floor in the facility. All floors are cold. Wherever you are right now, get up, stop the work. Get out of your cells, take charge and start climbing. They don't have enough guards and they know it. If we wait until they figure that out, it'll be too late. We will never have a better chance than this and I would rather die trying to take them down than giving them what they want." We know they fried a hundred men on Level Two. We know that they are making up our sentences as we go along. We know that no one outside here knows what's happening. And now we know that when they say we are being released, we are being transferred to some other prison to go and die and that ends today! There is one way out. Right now, the building is ours. You need to run, climb, kill! You need to help each other. You see someone who's confused, someone who is lost, you get them moving and you keep them moving until we put this place behind us. There are 5,000 of us. If we can fight half as hard as we've been working, we will be home in no time. One way out! One way out!

I just finished recording my first professional audiobook!
