What's an audio drama?
A standard audiobook is performed by a narrator, one voice carrying the whole story. An audio drama is the full cinematic treatment: a full cast of actors, an original score, and immersive sound design, so it plays like a film you listen to. Think old-time radio drama, reborn in studio-grade sound. On CineSonic these are our multi-cast and cinematic productions.
