Audio Drama

Audio Dramas are forms of entertainment when televisions weren’t invented before. They were famous during the old times. Although audio dramas only produce sounds to communicate and express their ideas, you could still easily understood and identify the situation and every idea that the author is trying to portray. The different sounds and voices that are present to every audio drama will create the mood and allow the listeners to understand very well about what the story is all about. Since sounds are one of the best ways to communicate, then audio dramas aren’t hard to understand and it only makes a little difference with what the videos in televisions are offering right now. Still the videos we see in TV still use sound to communicate and set the mood per every scene.

I’ve searched the audio drama entitled “Ovidiu introduces her girlfriend.” It’s a two minute audio drama that is all about how a young man who came from a prestigious family introduces his girlfriend to his parents. His girlfriend was unfortunate to have all of those riches that he has.  The story begins with the couple walking towards the young man’s house. They were welcomed by his father and directly attacked the girl with questions that is meant to degrade the girl because the girl was less fortunate. Although she was asked in civil kind of way by his father but it meant to degrade the other girl. In the middle part of the audio drama, the mother of the man included herself to do some questioning with the woman with the same intention. The boy tries to protect her girlfriend by trying to control her mother’s tone of voice but he’s father would also stop his son by saying to the boy that its not appropriate to talk to her mother in that kind of way. Obviously, both of his parents hate the girl. In the end, the girl confesses that she is pregnant and that’s how the story ends.

The sound design of the audio drama really gave me the idea about what the story is really all about. Each sound was really approriate in the scene. The voices were kind of blurred though and I needed to amplify my speakers in order to hear it properly. I guess the treble of the voices were really high. When it comes to the story telling part, I love how each character did their part. By the tone of their voices and they way they said their lines, you could really see the scenes and showed what kind of character they have. They also gave me the idea about the problem they are facing in the story. Its about the guys family who hates the less fortunate girl because the she doesn't pass their standard for their boy.
