In an era where digital content is king, one company stands out for its innovation and mission to inclusively redefine entertainment. Storymore, under the visionary leadership of a CEO, Micah Thomas, who himself is visually impaired, has emerged as a beacon of hope and creativity in audio drama. Launching just before the global upheaval caused by COVID-19, Storymore has adapted to changing times and set new standards in storytelling. Storymore is quickly becoming the leader in quality audio drama productions. What’s an audio drama? No, it’s not an audiobook. Just think of a great movie with actors, sound effects and music, and you have a great new way to be entertained while relaxing or being engaged in activities.

Storymore’s unique proposition lies in its commitment to providing opportunities for those who are blind or visually impaired to participate in voice acting. This initiative allows them to embody any character in any scenario, transcending the physical limitations that might hinder their participation on camera. The significance of this cannot be overstated. It opens doors to a world where talent is the only criterion for selection, ensuring a level playing field for all. Storymore has also amassed a global talent pool with voice actors, both sighted and visually impaired, from Cape Town (South Africa), London (UK), Toronto (Canada), Chicago, New York, LA, Orlando and many other locations as well. 

The company’s dedication to creating a 360-degree audio experience is another facet that sets it apart. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, these auditory experiences are crafted to be enjoyed by anyone wearing headphones, offering a significantly enriched experience for the blind community. Dan Morris from PODCAST MAGAZINE encapsulates this beautifully: “Even though I only have earbuds in, the movie is playing out in my head as if I were watching it at the cinema.” This quote underlines Storymore’s commitment to bringing cinematic experiences into the auditory realm, allowing listeners’ imaginations to paint vivid pictures as stories unfold.

Storymore’s achievements have been recognized and celebrated across various platforms. The company boasts collaborations with notable industry veterans such as Katie Leigh—a Disney voice acting veteran known for her roles in iconic productions like “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” “Muppet Babies,” and “Doc McStuffins”—and Amadi Chapata from Apple TV’s Emmy Award-winning series “Ghost Writer.” These partnerships not only elevate Storymore’s offerings but also highlight its standing within the industry.

In 2021, Storymore took its commitment to innovation and inclusivity a step further by becoming an official sponsor of Podfest Global, a Guinness Book of World Records record-breaking event. This sponsorship underscored Storymore’s role as a leading player in audio entertainment and its dedication to fostering communities through compelling storytelling.

Storymore’s reach is truly global, and it is available in 127 countries via Google Play. Its offerings combine award-worthy voice acting performances, cinematic music scores, and high-definition sound effects to collectively empower listeners’ imaginations like never before. By seamlessly blending these elements, Storymore creates immersive worlds that captivate minds and hearts worldwide.

Behind every successful venture is an engaged community and an effective communication strategy. Recognizing this fact early on led Storymore to establish robust connections with its audience through social media platforms such as TikTok (@mystorymore), Facebook, Twitter (@storymore), alongside their website. Through these channels, they share behind-the-scenes content, upcoming release announcements, and exclusive interviews with voice actors and creators involved, making their platform more accessible while fostering a sense of belonging among listeners.

Yet what truly differentiates Storymore isn’t just its technological prowess or star-studded collaborations; it’s its underlying philosophy that art should be accessible to all regardless of physical limitations. This ethos resonates throughout their productions, ensuring every narrative isn’t just heard but felt deeply across audiences irrespective of their visual abilities. To ensure accessibility for all, Storymore is also offering its content free both on its website and wherever you get your podcasts. 

As one looks towards future advancements within digital entertainment spaces, it becomes clear entities like Storymore aren’t merely participating within existing frameworks but are actively redefining them, ensuring inclusivity remains at the forefront of innovation, thus enriching lives beyond measure—a testament to true power storytelling when barriers are dismantled allowing everyone partakes joy discovery imagination holds.
