TRAILERS & SNEAK PEEKS #3 - 3DF's BLACK BUTLER

It's official!  After some quick planning and initial casting, 3DF is proud to announce our newest audio production of Black Butler ("Kuroshitsuji" in Japan).  Originally a manga by Yana Toboso, the anime is produced by A-1 Productions and featured the voices of J. Michael Tatum as Sebastian Michaelis and Brina Palencia as Ciel Phantomhive.

3DF is currently getting ready to present an audio presentation of the first episode.  If all goes well, I'd like to continue.  Veterans Jason Marnocha and Rina Adachi take on the leading roles; more casting information to follow soon.

ATTENTION: Please be aware that Black Butler contains adult situations and some mild language, and may not be suitable for all listeners.  Discretion is highly advised.

And of course, you know it, but I'm a broken record.  We never do this for profit and make absolutely no money from our projects.  All in good fun and adoration, folks!  Can't wait to get started.

"Like Father, Like Son" - Happy Father's Day from 3DF!

Happy Father's Day, everyone!

Over at our Facebook page - link to the right - there's been talk about a "Secret Special" project that was due to premiere this weekend.  Hints were out in plain sight too, via the above photo as my profile picture, and bearing in mind that today was a special one.

After finishing Case GK2-3 (The Inherited Turnabout), I was inspired to write my very first fan-fiction for the Gyakuten Saiban/Kenji fandom.  Entitled Like Father, Like Son, it explores two different men, bound together by a strong father and son love that not even death can undo.  Defense Attorney Gregory Edgeworth is seen as a first time father, while years later, his son Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth visits his father's grave to finally put to rest a case that Gregory had lost...and simply to have a much needed conversation.

On very short notice, I was able to put together a cast of my finest, and turn it into an audio drama presentation.  I'm very proud of how we did, and hope you enjoy it.

More specifically, I would like to officially dedicate this to my own father, Dave Kelter, who is very much like the great Gregory Edgeworth...except he's still alive. :)  Dad, this one's for you.  Thank you for everything. <3

PREMIERE! - PHOENIX WRIGHT: TURNABOUT GOODBYES Part 2

Image belongs to Capcom, too! :)

The story continues as we head into the courtroom!  State vs. Miles Edgeworth has begun.  But tension is high, for the prosecutor is none other than Edgeworth's ruthless mentor, Manfred von Karma.  Von Karma hasn't lost a case in his 40 year career, and this will be no exception, even for his former student.  This is quickly proving to be the toughest case that Phoenix Wright has ever faced...and it's only Day 1!

Based on the case of the same name from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney by Capcom, Phoenix Wright: Turnabout Goodbyes is a non-profit audio production, brought to you by voice-actors in it for the fun and love of the game.

SHANGRI-LA - Our Little-Engine-That-Could

It's about 12:30am, and I thought I'd share an update. :)

It's been a few months since there's been any updates regarding 3DF's audio production of SHANGRI-LA: The Palace of Water.  As the title of this post suggests, it's still happily chugging along, refusing to go down.  I'm very proud of this one, and hopefully will be debuting it in the very near future.  Two scenes were completed tonight, one small "filler" sequence and one quite major scene.  (I would give more details, but as it precedes the ending, it would ruin the surprise factor!)  Tomorrow, I'm planning on mixing the grand finale of the story, as well as working on one of the opening scenes.

...see?  Like films, even audio productions aren't put together in chronological order of events :)

In short, please stay tuned.  It'll be worth the wait.

SHANGRI-LA: The Palace of Water is based on the Takarazuka Revue's 2010 production, Shangurira - Mizu no Shiro.  3DF's audio drama is the first collaboration with Mizu-Iro Productions, creator Rina Adachi translating the entire script to English.  Leading the cast will be Dylan Spencer as Sora and IchigoBoba as Miu, the roles originated by Soragumi [Cosmos Troupe] Top Stars, Oozora Yuuhi and Nono Sumika.

3DF Planning Christmas Project; "Christmas Toy" in the Running.

It may be early, even for a Christmas in July, but summer's always been the best time to cast and record a project.  Thus, 3DF is plotting a Christmas presentation to hopefully be recorded and mixed early, so that it may be ready for the 2011 Christmas season.

Under consideration is an audio production of Jim Henson's The Christmas Toy.  Originally aired as a holiday special back in 1986, it tells the story of what toys do when you're not around to see, particularly in preparation to meet new members to the family around Christmas.  "Leading man" Rugby the Tiger was the highlight of his owner's previous Christmas, and isn't too happy with the thought of another toy taking his spot as "Favorite Toy."

More information to follow, but stay tuned to the blog for news.

PREMIERE! - Whip vs. Guitar

Based on the story of the same name by xStormyx, Whip vs. Guitar brilliantly shows what happens when the Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice Generations collide (and with tempers flaring, it won't be pretty!).  If you've ever wanted a glimpse at a typical day in the Prosecutor's Office...well, you're about to get your wish.

You won't be disappointed!  We, the cast, highly recommend it!

LordJazor: the Shoppe

Jason Marnocha, the Land of YouTube knows him as the posh and talented LordJazor.  3DF has known him by many other fine names, including the Joker, Det. Gumshoe, and Gregory Edgeworth.  He's one of our fine veterans who has been with this group before it even had a name.

And now, he's also a store! :)



Yes, now even YOU can have LordJazor's mug ON a mug. (Seriously, the beer mug's my personal favorite :))  So go ahead, go take a look at his wares and show one fine VA some support!  After all, he does voices...and stuff...yeah. :)

Doing Our Part

Online Petition for the North American release of Gyakuten Kenji 2, otherwise known as Ace Attorney Investigations 2 unofficially.

Capcom USA has denied the fans by choosing not to localize GK2 for their North American audience, citing cost and profit - the Almighty Dollar - as the reason.  Unfortunately, they have yet to realize that one has to spend money to make money.  The Saiban/Kenji series has not received the proper advertising - Word of Mouth can only do so much - nor the proper stocking in stores that it needs.  I myself have told friends that I know would love the series about it, and they're shocked they hadn't heard of it sooner.

3DF is doing our part to get the next installment of a great series here to the States.  The above petition is one way to get our voices heard.  In a matter of a week or two, it jumped from 200+ to 3000+ and it continues to grow every day.  Please, if you could ever show your support, now is the time to do it.  Whether you are a fan and love to play the games, or someone who has come upon our audio-dramas and like what you hear, please show this great series your support.  Sign the petition and help get this game to North America.

Thank you.
