DarkTreeAudio’s mission is to empower aspiring voice actors, audio writers, composers and all members of production in breaking into the industry and building a bridge for talented individuals to step into professional careers.
But why?
We want to help creative and talented people grow and showcase their abilities in professionally produced works, to make them more competitive in the audio and entertainment industries whilst simultaneously producing compelling, high-quality fiction podcasts that not only serve as a platform for emerging talent but also enrich the world of storytelling and sound.
We don’t just provide opportunities; we prioritize fair pay and respect for creative work. Every role in our productions is compensated, because we believe in valuing the time, effort, and artistry of everyone involved.
Whether you’re a creative seeking opportunities or a supporter passionate about fictional podcasts, DarkTreeAudio aspires to become a cornerstone in the podcasting and audio arts communities —a place where creativity flourishes, skills sharpen, and careers get started.
From “Demo Days” a collaboration project for building demo-reels, to “Life’s a Pitch” where writers refine their pitching and writing for audio skills, to “On Track” a music-collaboration project focused on creating music for fiction podcasts. These are just a few examples, and there’s plenty more to come.

What is ON TRACK?
[MAIN IMAGE COMING SOON]
‘On Track’ is a collaboration project with Composers. Its focus is to provide opportunities, scenes and episodes of podcasts, to gain that experience and knowledge first-hand. Those opportunities will come as either themed-briefs, created specific for the project; where composers will be tested on their creativity and adaptability by scoring a specifically tailored scene - or they will be provided with a currently-in-development episode of a DarkTreeAudio podcast, and tasked with scoring incidental tracks set to industry brief.
This project gives composers a chance to be expressive and experimental whilst gaining the opportunities to learn how to score music for a project outside and inside the industry.
“ON TRACK” will be a regularly occurring project throughout 2025. If you are interested, click the link to the google form to join the DarkTreeAudio Roster.
What is: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?
[MAIN IMAGE COMING SOON]
‘CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT’ is a collaboration project with Artists and Voice Actors. Its focus is refining both fields’ skills in creating original characters for Animation and Audio-work.
Through a three-round process,
In the first round, Artists will be provided with ‘fake’ television, web, and audio series, and will need to create original characters designs based on the briefs provided. Collectively, around 5 to 10 designs will be created before the next round begins.
The second round focuses on the Voice Actors being given these character designs and developing a unique voice and personality for this character. Working on accent, inflections, quirks, pitch, tone and others, the aim would be to refine the Voice Actors skills in improvising and adapting their skills to meet briefs and expand their abilities through these exercises.
Then with these characters, the third round begins. Scenes are written to showcase the voices and personalities built from scratch with the actors. These scenes are recorded and edited for release with sound and music. A collection of these will be released regularly and separately they can be used in reels and samples by the participating actors and artists.
“‘CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT” will be a regularly occurring project throughout 2025. If you are interested, click the link to the google form to join the DarkTreeAudio Roster.
