Orlando, FL – Storymore, a pioneering production company specializing in audio dramas, is breaking new ground by casting and entertaining the blind and visually impaired community. Founded by an Alabama native with visual impairment who attended the Alabama School for the Blind, Storymore is dedicated to creating opportunities in the entertainment industry based on talent rather than disabilities. This focus on inclusivity and high-quality audio production distinguishes Storymore as a leader in its field.
Storymore’s commitment to the audio industry is further exemplified by its sponsorship of the Guinness Book of World Records event for the largest online podcasting event, Podfest. The company’s productions have garnered critical acclaim, including nominations for the Seneca Awards. Storymore’s approach involves collaboration between industry professionals and blind and visually impaired voice actors, resulting in a unique and immersive storytelling experience.
Notable talents working with Storymore include Katie Leigh, a Disney veteran voice actor known for roles in “Gummie Bears,” “Muppet Babies,” “Doc McStuffins,” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” as well as Amadi Chapata from Apple TV’s award-winning series “Ghost Writer.” This diverse talent pool enhances Storymore’s ability to bring stories to life with rich, atmospheric soundscapes.
One of the standout actors at Storymore is Tanja Milojevic, who serves as the company’s SVP of Accessibility. Milojevic, a legally blind voice actor based in Boston, has an impressive portfolio that includes work on the popular podcast “The White Vault,” which has amassed over three million downloads on Apple Podcasts. Another prominent figure is Ken Osbourne, a blind actor renowned for his voice work in film trailers during the 90s. These actors exemplify the depth and range of talent that Storymore cultivates, demonstrating that blind actors can convincingly portray any character, free from the limitations often imposed by Hollywood.
Storymore’s production process allows actors to work from home, breaking down additional barriers for the blind community. With recording equipment set up in their own spaces, actors from around the globe—including Cape Town, London, Toronto, New York, and Chicago—contribute to the company’s projects. These recordings are then expertly edited at Storymore’s corporate office in Orlando, FL, ensuring high-quality productions.
Storymore’s productions are more than just narrated stories; they are immersive audio experiences. Utilizing full cast voice acting, 360-degree sound editing, high-definition sound effects, and cinematic music scoring, Storymore creates audio dramas that transport listeners into vividly imagined worlds. This approach sets Storymore apart from competitors who may rely solely on single-narrator audiobooks.
Podcast Magazine has praised Storymore’s innovative approach, noting the remarkable collaboration of voice actors who, despite not recording together or with extensive rehearsal, deliver compelling performances. This innovative production style underscores Storymore’s ability to harness the talents of its diverse cast, delivering high-quality audio dramas that captivate audiences.
Micah Thomas, CEO of Storymore, believes in the transformative power of audio dramas to create inclusive entertainment. “Our mission is to bring the highest quality of audio drama to the blind and visually impaired community while providing opportunities for talented voice actors who might otherwise be overlooked,” Thomas states. “We are proud of the work we do and the stories we tell, and we are committed to making a difference in the audio entertainment industry.”
As the audio entertainment industry evolves, Storymore is at the forefront of making audio dramas mainstream. By emphasizing inclusivity and talent, Storymore not only entertains but also raises awareness about the capabilities of blind and visually impaired actors. With a growing catalog of productions, Storymore continues to push the boundaries of what audio entertainment can achieve, offering a vision of the future where entertainment is accessible and engaging for all.
