| The Drama Pod Team  TIM HEFFERNAN Hello and thanks for taking the time to read about us. First before I talk about myself I want to more importantly talk about my team.
These people are amazing and are incredibly talented in their own fields. If your ever looking for one of them to help you out or you would like them to do some work for you, then dont hesitate. Their professionalism reminds me that anyone can do something incredible or amazing just as long as you have the will and drive to do it.
How did I end up starting all of this? I would say it first started when I heard the Kenny Everett Radio Show and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I was only a child at the time but I remember my jaw dropping from listening to the fusion of an audio story coupled with my own imagination.
I have always had a creative mind but I never found the right outlet until a few years ago I was listening to audiobooks and I thought now was the time to bring back audio dramas.
I’m hoping you enjoy listening to our pod/radiocasts as much as we enjoy making them. Come with us on our journey and see where it takes us.

 Virginia Farinacci
was born in Albany, New York--US, and studied Dramatic Art at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has worked in radio production and broadcast, children's radio, and radio drama for the blind. She has written plays, romance novels and radio features.
"As a young person I remember listening to, and enjoying the CBS radio mystery theater, and since that time, I have always known
that the theater of the mind is potent!
How wonderful that we can graduate from the big reel tapes, razor blades and chalk to the seismic-graph style editing of today's software programs that let us record and send sound files around the world. Radio drama had its day, was phased out when television materialized, and now is back with the era of the internet--better and stronger. Dramapod broadcast is a mindbogling journey--come along!!"
Virginia volunteered to help out in 2009 and she has been an immense help to this site. She has helped me with her voice acting skills, her knowledge of music and the occasional editing. I regularly bounce ideas off her to improve our entertainment and she has become a tremendous asset. She is my right hand girl.- Tim Heffernan

 CURTIS FARRELL
Coming from Australia Curt has spent the last 20 years enjoying and developing his passionfor Acting. Online, he is a regular contributor for Youtube and a Top Contributor of Yahoo Answers under the titles of Curtmanz and DraMuse.
From an early age he was inspired by the many talents of Robin Williams, where a portionof his keen interest for voice acting comes from.
"I've been itching to collaborate online for a long time and I am thoroughly enjoying The Dramapod's Productions."
When I first started this project I was short on male roles and I had approached a couple of local actors schools seeking help. They all turned me down and in desperation I went to the Yahoo Answers forums asking the question, where can I find a male voice actor? Curtmanz was the top contributor to that site and sent me an email that he would be happy to help. The amount of help and effort he has put in for us is simply amazing.
His voice skills are utterly superb and has a large range of accents. He also has a dream to start up his own miniseries based on Zorro you can check it out here :http://dramuseproductions.weebly.com/index.html .
The Dramapod Team wishes him all the luck with this venture and we will support him in anyway we can-Tim Heffernan

A man with a big mature voice and a playful sense of humour, hence his wiseasserist persona.

These gigs were booked by producers at many of the world’sbrightest agencies like BBDO, JWT and Taxi. "

Wiseassery. It's not just an attitude. It's....um...well...OK it is an attitude.
When I first heard his voice it inspired me a great deal and I think I will be writing a short story about a spandexed super hero just for this man. I just love his deep voice and sense humour, its as bad as mine.-TH

Since 1997 I've been doing voice work for the likes of Comcast, Promise Keepers, New Orleans, an countless other clients. Municipalities typically go for the PSAs.

A book promotion for Pirates of the Carribean was finished just last week (April 2010) for children between 10 and 12 years. This was both promotion and voice character assumption at once.

Fastest voice actor I have ever seen! I send him a script thinking he will send it to me within the next few days. No he sends it within hours! This man is very professional and extremely reliable. Like Mike he has a powerful voice and I look forward to writing a story with that in mind. – TH
