[Audio Commentary] La Meowpera: A Tragedy In Three Acts

, ,

Summary:

An emotional, heart-wrenching, meowsical experience that will have you weeping into your bowl of Fancy Feast!

Come listen to the tragic tail of Madame Pawletta, a former opera star who finds herself facing her greatest rival yet…her own kitten, Catterina!

What will Pawletta do when her own daughter receives more admeowration than she ever did? What on earth is that orange tom doing caterwauling beneath Catterina’s balcony? Will the mysterious butler Clawdio ever speak more than just one “meow” at a time?

(AKA a parody of grand opera, with a complete mewsical cast and written lyrics so you can read along while listening.)

Creator commentary and behind the scenes of the making of La Meowpera: A Tragedy in Three Acts

Notes:

We recorded the act 1 commentary for the voiceteam challenge "running commentary," so we listened along and paused the original every time we had something to say, and we have continued to do that for the remaining acts. You can read along with the original script at the inspired work. You can also find a track with just our commentary and follow along with the timestamps below if you would prefer to not have our comments interspersed with the original

Also, we recorded over discord and used the quack sound effect to signal that we had something to say, so that's why we're talking about quacking so much in this lol

Work Text:

The Meowpera cover, with cats in dramatic poses and La Meowpera in an old-fashioned script. 'Commentary' is written diagonally under the title, and transparent images of our voiceteam mascots are on the bottom of the image

You can listen to the commentary in this Google Drive folder or in this archive.org playlist:
