   418 - Spinoffs AF with VINCE DAJANI

   Hello audio creatives! Welcome to another INDIE AF - Celebrating indie audio fiction creatives making the very best audio stories for your ears….movies for the mind, theatre for the third eye, cinema for the cinemagination….you can quote me on all of those (and I only made up the latter 2) …but you knew that... Let’s lean in to explore the success of spinoffs! Yes! You need not finish a season and leave it there - why not flash forwards…backwards…sideways...left a bit?! And explore your world building and arcs and nostalgias and histories in greater depths. Ah Gwan! I chatted to the wonderful VINCE DAJANI of AUDIO OHM Media about allllll of the spinoffs from How I Died pod….yes…there is more than one! HOW I DIED CROWLEY THE CARRINGTON EVENT MED SCHOOL PREQUEL AND…something secret (that’s not a title - tis an actual secret!) EXCIITTTINGGGGG So In this episode we find out how much SARAH LOVES HUGH LAURIE (WHICH IS A LOTTTT) If Vince could do an actual autopsy with his knowledge of medical procedures What spinoff’s there are from HOW I DIED and how they were planned How sound design elements need to be researched for things happening in the past How you do not have to listen to How I Died to enjoy the spinoffs How delicious it was to explore elements of the world settings from different perspectives Why you should buy Vince’s groovy book - BUTCHERBIRD How to manage and run a successful patreon and discord community How to market all the things What the trailer for MED SCHOOL and CROWLEY are like ..teasers if you will Why ys can ask your audience what they want! I truly love Vince’s work as a fan and as someone lucky enough to jump in and play in a role on one of his superb horror shows. So DO NOT HESITATE - If you have not found work from AUDIO OHM yet, jump in!

Thank youp We have but 4 eps left of this season, <shocked face> and it would be wonderful to get information from you as to what you want from the next season which will release into next year….and will be more of an audio drama course style set of interviews from making the artwork and theme tune, to scoring, planning, writing, directing and recording, and hyping, social mediating and networking as well as awards and so much more beyond release.  So if you have anything to say on those things, and would like to be involved, please ping quirkyvoices@gmail.com (mailto:quirkyvoices@gmail.com) So hope this has inspired you to think on creating a spinoff for your wonderful show(s)….and hey, If you need a Sarah voice, my rates are reasonable!
