World Audio Drama Day: Creating Worlds You Can Hear

30th October is World Audio Drama Day, a celebration of the magic of storytelling, and luckily at Forever Audio, we see that same magic every day. In the right hands (and ears), audio can transport listeners, stir emotion, and bring worlds to life with sound alone.

This year in audio drama

From timeless classics to epic fantasy, our studios have been buzzing with stories that capture the imagination.

We’ve had the honour of handling the full immersive Dolby Atmos mix for Harry Potter’s full-cast audiobook, an ambitious collaboration between Audible and Pottermore.

Every moment has been brought to life in spatial detail by our team of audio specialists. It’s been a chance to revisit one of the most beloved stories ever told and this time, in a truly cinematic audio experience.

At the same time, our team helped adapt the recent Pride and Prejudice release for a multilingual global audience, working alongside Audible. Each version, recorded with local talent across Europe, was mixed in Dolby Atmos to create a consistent, immersive experience that balances cultural authenticity with Austen’s wit, warmth, and tension.

Two very different worlds with one shared goal: creating audio that transports you into the heart of the story.

How it happens

We’re equipped to take on some of the most ambitious audio projects in the world. But it’s our people: the mixers, engineers, and producers who bring the stories to life. As we celebrate World Audio Drama Day, we’re proud to work alongside the writers, directors, voiceover, and audio teams who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in sound.

Here’s to the stories that stay with us long after the final fade and to everyone who helps make them heard.
