Gangbusters was an imaginative series that would often start with a collage of sound effects to convey an action scene. It was merely a stunt. So, as much fun as sound effects are, don't over-rely on them. At some point they just get in the way and become noise. It appears that while you can do anything on radio, you can t do everything .
Audio drama is a magical collaboration between performer and audience.
Voices, music, and sound effects cast a spell, and the listener s mind conjures up a world before their very ears . A door opening or a gun shot is action. A howling wind or the hubbub of a crowded bar instantly paints the setting. Which sounds and how many you use will determine the quality of your drama s reality. One approach is to simply steal.
