Audio sound designers know and love it well, the art of Foley. i.e. creating a sound effect in the studio to mimic the real life sound in the fictitious world of the programme. Here I gathered some stones and weeds from the garden, placed them on a board in front of the mic, and tramped my impression of Helen and Hera climbing up the hill. You can hear the finished produce here https://amIoldyet.com/s10e7

Channel your inner 2 years old toddler with a simple sound that will help to lift your mood. Flloyd Kennedy, of Being in Voice, demonstrates.

Flloyd Kennedy and Wendy Lap recording scenes from Episode 1 of Season 10, which will go live in your podcasting app at 12:00 am Friday 12th July (BST). Wendy plays Hera, Queen of the Gods of Greek mythology, and a personal friend of Helen's. Flloyd voices Helen, Janey, Joey, Susie and Persephone, and also does a dummy version of Zeus's voice (who is voiced by Ira Seidenstein in the final cut!).

FlLoyd Kennedy, the voice behind the "Am I Old Yet?" Podcast, takes us on a reflective journey through Crown Street park in Liverpool on a glorious spring day. As she walks, Flloyd contemplates the intricacies of aging, the nuances of the human voice, and the looming presence of artificial intelligence in the realm of voice acting. full episode available at https://amIoldyet.com/about-the-voice-and-other-thoughts/

Three voice actors share their thoughts about working on the podcast, with Flloyd. Wendy Lap, whose roles include Hera, Moira and Sachelle, Roy R Carruthers who plays Harry, Eric Frogsholme and more, and Christopher McDougall who plays Hermes, Charlie and Rene - amongst others!

Well, Helen certainly does.  Here she is, taking no prisoners when the dental receptionist seems to question her ability to keep up with modern technology.  The podcast Helen is following "Somewhere On Earth Podcast" is an actual podcast (just like this one) only it focuses on developments in modern technology, and how they affect communities literally all over the world. And here is the link to find it. https://somewhereonearth.buzzsprout.com/.  I love it, so of course Helen does too! The music is from "In the Labyrinth", composed and performed by John T LaBarbera. Season 9 of "Am I Old Yet" has now been written, and recording is due to start next week.  It will take at least a couple of  weeks to get the first episodes designed and edited, but believe me, it won't be long now!   Meantime, if you would like to support me in my efforts to create a truly professional and entertaining podcast, with fully paid professional voice actors,  here is our crowd-funding page:  https://fnd.us/…

Bonus episode: Welcome to this personal tribute to my very dear friend Allana Noyes, who sadly passed away recently after a short illness.   This is a compilation of the episodes in which Allana played Helen's Great Niece Georgie, and Georgie's mother Flora.  For those of you who knew Allana, I hope you enjoy hearing her again, and for those who didn't, I trust you will enjoy her remarkable talent and joyous energy.  She is sadly missed.
