glad you found it useful

Hi! Ultimately, I don't think you can go wrong these days. I would start with whatever software you already own-- and if you don't currently have any sort of audio editor (or DAW, Digital Audio Workstation) ...the program Audacity is free. I haven't used it myself, but know it's popular with audio drama creators. Alternatively, my local library has a media lab that includes free use of a podcasting workstation. Yours might, too.

@@byWilliamJMeyer that’s great! What about getting sound effects? Is there a place I can go to that has a lot of free sound effect packs or?

Most sfx vendors offer free fully-licensed files with an account or newsletter sign-up... the company called A Sound Effect is a great example. Another wonderful resource, look up the Sonniss GDC free sound effect bundles-- they annually offer thousands of files, going back to 2015.

@@byWilliamJMeyer wow that’s awesome! Any other helpful tips I should know before getting started?

All I would say is, for your first forays, write your stories as short as you can to build up your workflow. Three minutes, five minutes... and have fun!
