Dramapod #7 Top Listen of the Day!

Drama Pod #7Check this out! What is number 7 right there? YES it is! Lady From Day :) You can click the image to enlarge it.

Also to note, I'm a voice actress in the two new ones at the bottom... The White Carnation (I'm Narrator 2...PhaeThorn who does Rowan in LFD is Narrator 1, and JauntyHat who plays Siegfried in LFD is starring as Felicity). I am also playing a villain in Pendant Production's Star Wars: Blue Harvest (Jenna Zan Arbor). Hey I can have a little shameless self promotion can't I? Anyway it's very exciting! Thank you all for listening and stay tuned for Book 2. There are a lot more characters and a lot more new developments as you will find out what happens to Lia.

Making Headway!

I'm nearly done writing Book 3 (3 chapters to go)! I decided to make a chapter-by-chapter outline to help speed up the writing process and it really has helped. Remember, the last chapter in Book 1 is going to be released this month so stay tuned :) Things are really going to change.

Commentary Number 2

I've recorded the second commentary for Lady From Day. I will release it along with Chapter 12 (before Christmas). Listen to Chapter 12 first as there is a spoiler in the commentary.

I will answer the following questions addressed on the forum (and if you want to ask a question, sign up on the forum and go under production updates > audio commentary and post, or email me at book@ladyfromday.com):

Q#1 by PhaeThorn (ROWAN): Why DID you call it Lady From Day?
Q#2 by Solstice (LIA): How many words are in Book I?
Q#3: Will there be bloopers?

If you are a cast member, I posted the commentary under the Cast boards>General>Audio Commentary 2 - Sneak Peak!

I will also let on some MAJOR changes in the production so make sure you listen!

Latest Updates

Well, first off we have new cast members! I am scouting right now since there aren't really enough new parts to do a casting call. I have replaced myself as Gloria Naydle in Book 2 with Fiona Thraille, who has been kind enough to do the part. She will also sound more authentic. I've started to look out for people for Book 3 (there are only 3 new characters so far as I'm still writing it). I was chatting with a new fan (she found it from my posting on BrokenSea Audio's Yahoo group) and asked her to do some lines for me since she was wondering about when I'd be holding auditions for Book 3. What she does in real-life is exactly the same as the character I developed. So welcome Alexa Chipman as Nessa!

I will be releasing Chapter 12 (the last chapter in Book 1) hopefully before Christmas. I'm waiting on PhaeThorn's lines but that's ok because the official deadline isn't until January 1. I will also be releasing another audio commentary at that time. If you have any questions you would like answered on there, please post a question!
