Babalu B-Sides: Voice and Heart

May 18, 2026 · 24 min

Show notes

⚠️ Season 1 spoilers ahead. Host Jackie Rae Aubel sits down with Babalu's director Katharine Chen Lerner, sound designer Charles Moody, and creator Kimberly Truong to talk about the craft of audio performance — how you coax chemistry from actors with only their voices to work with, shape emotion through proximity and repetition, and make a scene feel cinematic when there's nothing to see.


Many thanks to Westport Studios for the production of this after show.
