Why Audio Series

For the past several years, web series have taken over and proven to be a dope opportunity for up and coming actors, writers, producers, directors, etc. to show off their talents to an audience without the help or politics of Hollywood. Unfortunately, due to market saturation a lot of great shows aren’t getting the recognition they deserve and are underrated from lack of visibility.

​

Major benefits for creating fictional audio entertainment and featuring your content on Afrosandaudio.com:

​

  • Reach a new and broader fan base

  • Link to your SoundCloud, YouTube, Spotify etc. account and retain likes, shares, and followers.

  • Keep the rights to your series

  • Creative freedom

  • Cost-efficient and low maintenance production

  • Access professional services for script consulting, engineering, promotional and marketing needs

  • Gain exposure through our Afros & Audio Listening Mixers and Parties

  • Join a lit and ever growing community of passionate writers, directors, actors, engineers and producers

Why African Diaspora stories

Our stories are important and deserve to be heard by any means necessary.

​

Before television, during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, radio was the dominant entertainment medium. Needless to say Black and Brown voices were non-existent in this space because of #racism.

 

The mission of Afros and Audio is to fill a library, much like, The Generic Radio Workshop, of Black and Brown voices in scripted audio entertainment. This is a challenging yet trailblazing endeavor. Most creatives have never thought to create scripted audio or adding voice and theatrical effects to their short stories. This platform is an opportunity to demystify the process and produce great bodies of work that will transcend generations.
