WALKAWAY

In Walkaway communities, individuals bring together their different talents and motivations to create something new and surprising. So using multiple narrators is the perfect way to tell this story. Each actor employs slightly different voicings, which reveal subtle interpretations of character. The performers lend variety to the long passages of dialogue in which characters discuss their visions of the society they're building. Production quality varies--it sounds as if multiple studio environments and recording equipment were employed, with different production engineers adjusting room tone and recording levels. But this characteristic invokes the cooperative Walkaway spirit. In other words, it doesn't detract too much from the uniformly energetic and passionate performances.
