[fosteraudios]

Hey! I'm pretty new here,but i wanted to say this anyway.

When i first found the channel, i had no idea that the actress series was actually a series. I didnt pay attention to your bio, so i just listened to the episodes without realising they were connected.😅

But once i realised it was a series and started listening with that in mind,it became a completely different experience. I havent seen any other voice actors do something like this before(or maybe i just havent come across them) ,and i really like it. I also didnt fully understand the ending at first ,but after reading the comments ,i realised how it connected back to the first ep. That was such a cool touch.

I have a couple of questions too. Im not sure if you answered this before

When u started the series, did you already have the whole storyline planned out?

When you 're recording an ep, do you already have a plan for what will happen in the ep or do some ideas come to you while youre making it?

Hi! Welcome! Thank you so much for listening :D

When I started, i actually planned on doing a bit of a ‘hybrid’ between the usual oneoff gf rp’s and a bit more of a coherent story. I always got ticked off listening to rp’s that it was 10 minutes and done. So i wanted to do ‘same universe same characters but kinda loosely connected’ and eventually that morphed into a fully fledged series with twists and turns and season finales!

And no, I improv’ed everything I did! I occasionally had fun ideas for arcs or storylines of a few episodes, but there were also plenty of moments where I ended a recording being like ‘E WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CONTINUE WITH THAT’ so it was a very fluid process haha

Let me know what your favorite ep was if you want to! :)

[fosteraudios]

Uhh who's Sarah again?

Sarah is a character that doesn't exist in the audio series I'm pretty sure! She got involved with the Westbound story in Universal Donor first (that fic is on Patreon I think, but I narrated it on YT).

Basically - Dr. Sarah Kennedy, a cardiologist. Audrey's best friend with a bit of a history of being a friends-with-benefits. What Sarah Said is a fic that explores her/their backstory a bit.

She's quickly grown into one of my favorite characters! Occasionally on Patreon I write Audrey/Alex/Sarah relationship fics next to the standard Alex/Audrey ones and it's been a lot of fun! Sarah is very much the brains of the operation, where Audrey is the heart and Alex is the brawn.

Hot take everything that happened in the actress series would have been 20 times worse if foster was a man.

I'm intrigued, I have no answer to this! Care to elaborate? 👀

[fosteraudios]

Q&a question if things happened differently would there be a world where tyche dated one of the other drake siblings and if so who would she most likely date?

She'd have to fistfight AJ for them, but I'd like to think that Tyche is a better match for Dawson than for Mia.

Dawson is a bit more no-nonsense, he's pretty rough around the edges - but he's a good guy. Loyal and protective. I think Tyche and him would work well together (they do, at Olympus).

Also, he's pretty analytical, and very good with numbers. So at the very least he can help her do tax fraud with all of her millions!

Do you agree? 👀

[fosteraudios]

If Foster's parents were alive would Foster and Tyche still get together(in the hypothetical that they were both in the bar that night)?

And how would that change behavior of the Drake siblings?

Okay okay INTERESTING

I think if their parents would still be alive:

Dawson definitely would have been forced into rehab way earlier, and I think he may have either completely been isolated from the family until he changed his behavior/shunned from the bar, or he completely cleaned up his act, got sober, and was the 'best of the family', or at least the only one who stepped up to help in the bar

If they weren't killed I'm assuming Mia didn't have her fall either so she wouldn't be in her wheelchair - that would mean she'd be jetsetting and doing prestigious internships/cheffing at fancy restaurants. She wouldn't be home a lot, so she wouldn't be at the bar either.

Foster would be in the bar on and off, probably in college at this point? (I don't remember how old she is off the top of my head) but I'd like to think she does the same thing she does now, but with a lot less hours: do some singing, make some cocktails.

And to answer your question, I think they'd still get together. I didn't flesh out the parents' characters all that well but I'd think they're pretty accepting. Especially given her money and connections.

(I'd like to think they're pretty bad at social media etc too and Tyche is always patiently helping them fix internet stuff like that!)

Question what was the relationship between AJ and the producer guy

I *think* they dated in high school or college, and he turned into a pretty famous producer. In the audio series it was left kind of ambiguous where they were at, but in the fic-world AJ isn't dating him at all anymore. They ended on good terms though - if he's wiling to help Foster out :)

[fosteraudios]

what's the character you wished u could have gotten more into?

I'm doing a *lot* of character work on Patreon (this isn't a plug, just a fact) - a lot of character studies, delving into characters etc.

I think characters like AJ, Mia, Dawson, Sophia, Sarah... are all characters that really get their due in exploratory fics both on Patreon and AO3, and there's so many fringe characters that get fleshed out more and more in these universes...

If I had to pick audio/RP-wise I'd definitely choose AJ from the Singer series. The series ended on such an interesting note with AJ probably taking over the investigation into their parents' death - given that in the fics she's kind of in a love triangle between Dawson and Mia it would have been very interesting to explore...

[fosteraudios]

Back during season 1 when they were sitting outside because there might have been someone who broke into their house was there actually a robber? it was never brought up again.

Oh man I actually have no idea - instinctively I thought that was a Lena thing but I’m pretty sure that ep was part of the preseason! Which would make it the part of the series that was kinda chaotic and standalone, so it might just have been random thugs :’)

(Or the Celebrity Stealing Club from Bojack Horseman which might just be my canon for now)

I wanted to ask that in the Q&A, but I was too late.

Do you have any tips on how to write dialogue? Because I'm struggling to come up with conversations that don't sound awkward

Hi!

I get complimented a lot on my natural dialogue writing, and I don't know what I specifically do to ensure that, but here's some things that hopefully are helpful:

try to record (with consent of course) a conversation. Maybe between you and a friend. Or two other people. Transcribe that conversation into text (with umms and pauses and stutters included!), and read it. What makes it feel different from dialogue you write? Usually it's that natural dialogue has less of a necessity to give exposition. If we tell a story to a friend, we use basic words within our capacity. if we write a story, we need to tell a whole audience and we tend to use bigger words, use more exposition etc - because we have time to think about what we want to say. In real life, we use whatever words come to mind the quickest.

write out loud. this is a LIFESAVER for me. When I write dialogue, I'm pretty much always talking to myself. I have a tendency to use very long, strung on sentences. So I always read them out loud, to see if an actor could fluidly say them, or I need to shorten them.

This is super important: use different voices. A farmer will have a different vocabulary from a salesman - of course. But what makes your two college-aged best friends different? Can you distinguish them? They don't need to have completely different accents, but maybe one of them has a tendency to use shorter sentences. Maybe one of them is a rambler. Maybe the other uses lots of idioms. The other talks in memes. These examples are all very hyperbolic ;) but it's something to think about. And I refer back to the recorded conversation from the first bullet point: if you see one person in that conversation talking, can you distinguish them from the other person? if yes, how so?

In short - try to remember that you're writing human beings. And humans all talk differently. Learn from listening to people talk, and write as out loud as you can! GOOD LUCK with the writing, I'm rooting for you! ❤️
