I recently listened to a radio play called Three-Body problem, which is a novel in Chinese. There are many seasons of the radio drama and I listened to one of its episodes.

There was a trailer made at the beginning of the play and I could hear the ambient sounds in it, people walking, whispering and the sound of water, it felt like a conversation in an office. What I thought was good about the trailer was that it was mixed very harmoniously and led by the dialogue. The sound effects are very appropriate for the sci-fi theme of the show. But what I felt was lacking was that it was a trailer that cut the first two minutes of the episode. This made me feel like I was listening to a repeat of something that didn’t surprise me.

The vocals on this radio drama are very bright and clear, and I can clearly understand what is being said in the drama. In contrast to our radio drama, the vocals always had a different vibe as each character was not recorded at the same time, probably due to the environment in which they were recorded.

In this radio drama, I thought it was very well done in terms of articulation. In the trailer, I could hear the mood going from relaxed to tense, and the music in it was very nicely matched. I think this is something we should learn from.
