[NEW] Serendipity - Modern-Day Dramedy - EPISODE TWO

[KimiLynn]

WestSociety Presents an Original Radio Play...

Serendipity

Written, Directed and Produced by KimiLynn.

Was it fate? Coincidence? Or just some series of 'fortunate' accidents that brought these four goofy personalities together? It's a year later, but these events, which will be revealed throughout, remain the cause for the lives they lead today and will undoubtedly effect their futures.

Taylor and Chloee, the middle children who are as much alike as they are different, were given a Cafe', which happens to specialize in Hot Chocolate, to run by their eccentric grandmother whom is moving out of the country. Church, the youngest of the siblings, is an angry teen who doesn't quite see the world like others do. Jonny, the oldest, who found the Townhouse that they all share, hates his job, and tends to lean towards the bottle to drown his sorrows. Jo, their cousin and attorney, doesn't live with them, but finds herself constantly in their presence and acting as a kind of buffer between the brothers and sisters. This is the story of 5 best friends and their everyday adventures through this crazy thing we call Life.

Drama, Comedy, Romance, and a touch of Modern Flare is what you'll find in this new series Serendipity.

Alrighty, after what it seems like forever, the first installment of Serendipity is finally completed and ready for listening! This is the first "on my own" production, so any comments would be much appreciated =) Enjoy.

A huge thanks to the Cast, you guys all rocked

[Mrwest16]

It's about time you finally got this thing out! I just want you all to know I was pretty much playing myself when I did Church.

EDIT: My Podcast.com is being a dick right now (At least for me.) and isn't starting at the moment, maybe if we all give it a moment it'll start eventually.

[kagutaba]

Glad to see it's up! Good work to everyone in on the project!

[Sasuya]

Could you upload it with another hosting site? For some reason I can't access the radioplay from mypodcast from either of my computers. ^^;

Wait nevermind >.>; It works, I just had to wait a long time ^^;

[KimiLynn]

Ok, I've decided that mypodcast.com is completely unreliable, which I've known for a while, but that's what we've always used...SOOO, I'm going to work on finding another place to upload it. I know about putfile, (I'm trying that now), but I've heard bad things about that too. If anyone could give me some ideas that would be great! =)

EDIT: Success! It has been uploaded to a new site, which seems to be working much better! You can also download it there as well.

Taylor- You did an excellent job in displaying all of the different emotions and characterizations of Taylor almost to a science. Every single line was delivered to perfection, you definitely had fun doing it, we need more actors like you. And a Blue Snowball (I'm assuming that's the mic you use.) is probably the best Microphone out there, Kimilynn and myself may invest in one soon.

Chloee- Also excellently portrayed you captured the style of the character very well, she's older then Taylor but sounds and acts younger and you for sure did that to the best of your ability. You and Sasuya are what made this production flow, kudos to you Gale.

Jo- And as you usual you have a another great mippa performance. You weren't in it very much but you did a great job even so. Anyone who can make a believable phone conversation without actually talking on the phone gets points from me.

Jonny- I think this is your first production seanconnery, and I gotta say you did a very good job, the way you acted as the character was "very different" in my opinion, whenever Johnny spoke it sounded nothing short of hilarious, but in a good way! I believe you and I's Church-Johnny Convos flew very well together, aside from a little background noise.

Church, Customer (Jim)- This is probably the most normal I've ever acted in a production on this website. Usually I play a monster-type character or a rough villain of sorts, this was me actually being myself, for the most part and much different then my typical ventures. Perhaps I should explore that side of myself a little more...

Abby- You sounded a lot like Gale in this performance, when I first listened to it when kimilynn was still making it for a second I thought you were Chloee. But that doesn't make it bad! I was just pointing that out, you two have very similar voices. But I'd have to say you did a great job overall despite only having a few lines in this first Episode.

Rob- Just to let everyone know, Rob is the dude that Taylor was talking to near the end in regards to Naomi. His name was never actually mentioned. For a 23 year old character he sounded pretty old I'd have to say, but then again, you're 23 too, so... my logic is completely broken and has no merit what-so-ever. I do have to say that you did a good job just like everyone else, but again too few lines to make a fully honest critique.

Naomi- Good job being a bitch! With just two lines you still managed to pull off a good bitch of a Waitress. I hope to hear more from this character in the future, but that all depends upon the actions of kimilynn, so... we'll just have to wait and see.

I'd have to say this is probably the best group of actors I've seen in a production on the VAA in a while, usually there's at least one, two, or three people that are the "not-so-great." players in a production, but I gotta say that these were probably some of the best performances ever! No real problems acting wise at all. I just hope you all keep your momentum up for Episode 2. (If there is one...)

[Sasuya]

Thanks, I did have a lot of fun playing Taylor XD Sarcastic kind of roles are always fun ^^ And I actually have a Samson C01U. Still a condenser mic though.


Gale - Chloee :: Great job! I don't remember hearing you before o_O But it's great that I got the chance to hear your voice! Your voice is really nice, and from what I could hear, it sounded like to suited Chloe perfectly. You really worked well with the other characters =)

mippa - Jo :: Great job mippa. Your performance was excellent. =) I'm really used to hearing you voice over in fandubs and such, and its been a while since I've heard you in some audio productions. Great job!

shaunconnery - Jonny :: This is the first time I've ever heard you. Really liked hearing your voice! You and West's voice really sounded well together. The delivery in your lines really made me laugh at times =D Great performance!

Mrwest16 - Church, Customer (Jim) :: Dude, you were awesome XD Like I said in shaun's, the two of your voices really went well together. Your performance was great. It was hilarious when you were freaking out about the coke. Fantastic =D

Snowfender - Abby :: Great job snowfender! Your delivery and performance was excellent I loved listening to you. You really fit the character =D

PhotoShopTimeRyan - Rob :: Don't think I've listened to you before either ^^; Not much lines, but from what I heard, you were perfect :3

Kagutaba - Naomi :: You were awesome =D Way to bring the personality to the character X3

KimiLynn - Boots :: Awwww KITTY 8D Too cute.

[kagutaba]

I have time for a real review now!

Sasuya - Good job as Taylor! It sounded very natural and fit the character to a T. Now I'm glad I didn't get the part because you did a better job than I could ever hope to do, lol.
Gale - Okay, I'm just gonna say it. I think your voice is adorable! It's perfect for Chloee. Your voice really helped me paint a clear mental picture of the character.
mippa - Good work, as usual. It was a very believable, albeit short, performance.
shaunconnery - Excellent job! There were a few scenes where your delievry had me laughing. Like Sasuya said, you and Mrwest16 sounded great together.
Mrwest16 - I enjoyed your performance here! The flipping out over the coke was perfect.
Snowfender - You didn't have a mountain of lines, but you did well on the ones you had! Very casual/natural sounding.
PhotoShopTimeRyan - Your character only had a few lines, but it was a good performance.
KimiLynn - So cute! You make a good kitty.

[KimiLynn]

Lol. Thanks. The real Boots was experiencing some stage freight, so I had no choice but to stand in =)

Thanks for all the comments!!!!
