If the wait for BLACK BUTLER: CAMPANIA is getting to you, then you will love this present that I was just given a little while ago. Complete surprise, unknown to me, and what a lovely one at that!
"The Stench of Death"
Co-written by Samantha Charland and BeautifulWriter
Narrated by Samantha Charland
A beautiful monologue, revealing the innermost thoughts of Angelina Durless-Barnett, the woman known among London Society as "Madam Red", from her descent into madness to her utmost final release into Death.
Samantha is one of the newest members of 3DF Productions. She made her debut as the voice of Madam Red in RED HOLY MOTHER, and will be playing Frances Midford in BLACK BUTLER: CAMPANIA.
Based on the fan-comic of the same name, Red Holy Mother is a Ripper arc tale. Everyone's favorite partners-in-crime, Angelina "Madam Red" Durless and Grell Sutcliff, muse over their exploits, comparing the lovely lady to the story of Mary Magdalene. A woman unchosen, the first to witness rebirth, but this time...unrepentant.

From "Red Holy Mother" by Nagaoka Chiaki Based on characters from Yana Toboso's Kuroshitsuji
Hello 3DF fans! We are getting back in full swing, starting with a new mini-project!
Based on the fan-comic of the same name, Red Holy Mother is a Ripper arc tale. Everyone's favorite partners-in-crime, Angelina "Madam Red" Durless and Grell Sutcliff, muse over their exploits, comparing the lovely lady to the story of Mary Magdalene. A woman unchosen, the first to witness rebirth, but this time...unrepentant.
3DF Grell-veteran, Mr. Curt Rose, once again claims his red throne as the crimson Grim Reaper of passion. Madam Red, however, is played by our newest 3DF debutante, Ms. Samantha Charland. She will also be playing Francis Midford in the upcoming BLACK BUTLER: Campania.
After I announced CLUE a while back, my director senses immediately began tingling on who the main characters would go to. CLUE has always had a very colorful cast, whether talking about the film that we're set to adapt or even various incarnations of the game itself. (Did you know that there was actually a game show version in the UK? Look it up on YouTube; it's rather interesting!)
Thankfully, 3DF has the talent to do it. Your favorite VAs return to take on the wackiest suspects known to man. Minor roles have yet to be determined, but the main seven are as follows: James Hall as Wadsworth the butler, Jason Marnocha as Colonel Mustard, Samantha Ylagan as Mrs. White, Dylan Spencer as Professor Plum, Rina Adachi as Ms. Scarlet, Pam Larson as Mrs. Peacock, and Curt Rose as Mr. Green.
Your favorite 3DF VAs had one hell of a time prior to recording the podcast itself! Come listen to hilarity, lessons in road safety from Curt Rose, and a surprise visit from Denise Kelter (Paula the maid in My Fair Lady)!
DATE RECORDED: 8/5/12 GUESTS: Jason Marnocha (Sebastian, Drocell, Eric Slingby in Stella); Rina Adachi (Ciel, Luci in Stella); Curt Rose (Finny, Grell, Claude); Dylan Spencer (William, Baldroy); Samantha Ylagan (Lizzie, Alois, Stella); James Hall (The Undertaker); Sukisho (Alan Humphries in Stella); Faith Kelter (Director, Madam Red, Pluto) CO-HOSTS: Dylan Spencer and Faith Kelter PLEASE NOTE: Like our BLACK BUTLER productions, both the podcast and the pre-show are not safe for work, nor around the kids. Also, during the podcast, please be on the spoiler alert for Black Butler Season 2. You have been warned.
It's been one year since the premiere of BLACK BUTLER: His Butler, Able, and it's not an anniversary without a party! In this special edition of the Post-Production Postcast, the cast of BLACK BUTLER gets together to reminisce about our favorite memories and craziest mishaps in recording this for posterity. And thanks to some of your questions, aspiring voice-actors can learn some secrets and behind-the-scenes work from 3DF's finest! So come celebrate with us and enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: As always, 3DF is all-fun non-profit. We are not associated with Yana Toboso, A-1 Pictures or FUNimation. We do this alongside our fellow fans out of respect and adoration of the original.
So I previously mentioned something about a big special edition of the P3, our Post-Production Podcast. It's still on. It's still going to happen. Real life and scheduling and what not just tends to get in the way. It's a pain, but it's true. 3DF is sadly not our day job.
With some free time opening up, we are proceeding as planned. This Sunday, August 5th, some of 3DF's Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji fan-audio cast will be gathering to record a special post-finale edition of the P3. Memories, reminiscing, derailed conversation by the first subject, you know, the usual!
But free time isn't the only reason. August 5th is also the first anniversary of our first audio, His Butler, Able. We officially debuted the project on 8/5/11, and it's been a wonderful year since. So what better day to get together and celebrate the project that started it all?
Currently RSVPed the affirmative and scheduled to attend are the following: Jason Marnocha (Sebastian, Drocell, Eric Slingby), Rina Adachi (Ciel, Luci from Stella), Curt Rose (Grell, Finny), Dylan Spencer (William, Baldroy), Samantha Ylagan (Lizzie, Alois, Stella Brooks from Stella) and Pam Larson (Mey-Rin, Kat from Stella). Denise Kelter (Paula) is also planning to step in for an appearance. Please be aware, any of this can change at any time.

On behalf of 3DF, I would like to take this time to send continued thoughts, prayers, well wishes - whatever suits best - to those who fell victim of the shootings last Thursday night in Aurora, CO. What was supposed to be a wonderful night at the movies turned into a most unfortunate event that has reminded many of us how precious life is. As always, in the worst of times, all of you have the support and good vibes behind you from your fellow citizens.
All my best

So, today's a very special day for a very special person. And on 3DF, that's a pretty big deal.
I'm very fortunate to have the most loving family in the world. In a time when a lot of imagination and creativity has become suppressed, my family has been very supportive and encouraging in many of 3DF's endeavors. I know of few parents and siblings who would take time out of a busy schedule to record a guest spot. You've heard all of the Kelter household at some point or another. My brother has played a few small roles, including Timber in Black Butler: The Spider's Intention. My mother is a regular with 3DF, being the "narrative" voice of Turnabout Reminiscence and Paula in Black Butler: My Fair Lady. I guess those you could kind of expect. My brother's always wanted to be an actor, and Mom's been doing voices for me since I was a kid and she read me bed time stories.
And then there's my Dad. :) He was a cop for 29 years, a big guy with a very tough reputation and a heart of gold. Long and short of it, not someone you would expect to just get behind a microphone and record a couple of lines for a radio-play. And yet, he's done it. I tried to make it easy for him, casting him in roles that he's played in real life, mostly police oriented. You can currently hear him in Act 3 of Turnabout Reminiscence, where he has a one-liner as a courthouse baliff.
But he's had a bigger role before, and with The Dark Knight Rises coming to movie theaters next week, I think it's an appropriate time to let this be heard. Those who have been with me since Day 1 remember an unreleased project that started it all, Batman: Chronicles of Arkham. Well, I couldn't imagine anyone better for the role of Commissioner Gordon than my own father. He only had a short 20 second scene, but he did a wonderful job.
Thus, in honor of his birthday this weekend, I release this for the first time to the public. A rough original cut from Chronicles, featuring the voices of P.J. Simmers as Batman and Dave "The Commish" Kelter, Sr. as Commissioner Gordon. If you would like to see the lovely original trailer, made by our very own Jason Marnocha, be sure to check it out here!
To Dad: Thank you for everything. I don't say that as often as I should, and I know I'm not always the easiest person to deal with. But know that everything you do is appreciated more than you know. Love you and happy birthday! <3
