Comments on: Episode -1: Rustycon Panel 1 http://www.audiocinemareview.com/2010/01/episode-1-rustycon-panel-1/ Reviews of your new favorite Audio Cinemas Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:19:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jack http://www.audiocinemareview.com/2010/01/episode-1-rustycon-panel-1/comment-page-1/#comment-2 Jack Sun, 24 Jan 2010 13:30:24 +0000 http://www.audiocinemareview.com/?p=5#comment-2 Really interesting conversation! I need to take umbridge with the one gent who says that without people criticizing there's no one to tell new people what they are doing wrong. Firstly, I want to say I LOVE criticism for my works. I rarely get it, and when I do its often "you're so great" or "it's not my thing". Neither of which is not an appropriate criticism. Being a good critic is a skill in and of itself. Being able to identify the difference between "what you like" and "what makes good Audio Drama" are two different things. For example a good friend of mine pointed that I had a narrator in one of my shows and said that was an OTR thing and not something from Modern Audio Drama. Well, that's really a personal preference argument rather than an effectiveness issue, and I can appreciate that for what it is. But if he said, "It's not my thing" I'd get no value out of the comment. Secondly, there is a very good means for telling what's good out there. Subscribers. Thirdly, the simple fact of WANTING to be a good producer means you listen widely, you compare and contrast with your own work, you look very critically at your own stuff and ask yourself this question. "What could I do better?" If your answer is "Nothing".. Put down the pen. You're a genius like J.D. Salinger and only need to mail yourself your Audio Dramas once a year for no one else to hear.
