Minor update.

I've been studying a great deal of audio drama lately. I got some BBC stuff, some of the Big Finish audio dramas of Doctor Who, some old school Orson Welles work, and lots of fan drama, good and bad. Also re-listened to the Star Wars radio dramas. 

One thing I've noted is that for clarity, less characters in a scene is better. I've cut some unneeded characters, and restructured some scenes. 

I've also come to the conclusion that less sound effects is better. Unless I'm trying to make some kind of hypnotic audio landscape, a couple establishing sound effects and maybe a little ambiance goes a long way. 

I keep wavering back and forth on whether to keep the narration/narrator, or just try to do without like the Star Wars radio dramas did.
