Longtime character actor, M.C. Gainey (Lost, Bosch, Dukes of Hazzard) has a new project called, Hindsight: The Day Before, a six episode dramatic audio series that also stars John Goodman, Merrin Dungey, Aaron Stanford, Santiago Cabrera, Sibongile Mlambo, Ian Anthony Dale and Nolan Gerald Funk.
It’s a supernatural thriller that follows a Professor who goes on a life-changing journey after visiting a Harlem curio shop. This drives him toward a dangerous realization of who and what he is, and the mission he will have to take on in order to survive.
In this interview, Gainey, who is joined by co-producer Ted Bonnitt, talks about the series, voice acting and how they created this unique audio experience.
Here’s more of what’s in the interview:
• Gainey became involved in the project through Ted Bonnitt, with whom he has collaborated for over 30 years.
• The production used extensive research and resources, including three sound crews and numerous microphones, to create a unique and immersive audio experience.
• Unlike traditional voiceovers done in sound booths, this project involved actors performing together in a sound stage to capture authentic interactions. It was also crafted to replicate the way the human brain perceives sound, enhancing the listener’s immersion.
• The production process was akin to shooting a movie, with actors needing to be highly familiar with their roles and perform in sequence.
