Make a Scene!
Sound is story.
11th Hour Audio is an independent production studio led by Matthew Boudreau and strengthened by the veteran collaborators who keep returning to make ambitious things together.
Matthew Boudreau
Building stories out of air and imagination.
Matthew is a sound designer, writer, producer and the founder of 11th Hour Audio. He finds the pulse in a quiet room, the weight of a performance and the moment before everything changes.
Through 11th Hour Audio, Matthew creates original productions, shapes sound for other creators, builds story-ready sound libraries and organizes one of audio drama’s longest-running collaborative events.
From Aural Stage to 11th Hour Audio.
The studio grew from years of producing, directing, editing and designing audio fiction, with roots in Aural Stage Studios, Radio Drama Revival and the 11th Hour Audio Challenge.
Today the work includes original productions, podcast post-production, custom sound design, field recording, professional sound libraries, music and practical education for creators. Horror is part of the history, but it is not the edge of the map.
The collaborators
The people who keep showing up.
Matthew leads 11th Hour Audio and makes the decisions about its direction. Around the work is a long-running network of performers, writers, producers, musicians and sound artists who return to make the work better and help somebody else finish.
Owen McCuen, Faith McQuinn, Lindsay Harris-Friel, Karim Kronfli, Tanja Milojevic, Austin Beach, Joshua Suhy, Dayn Leonardson, Xperience J / Crystal Judkins, Richard H. Brooks, Julie Hoverson, Javert Boudreau and Avi Ziv are among the recurring creators and veteran participants woven through 11th Hour productions and the Challenge.
They are not employees in matching shirts, and this is not a corporate org chart. Some arrive with a script, a microphone, a score, a performance or a very specific technical obsession. The shared commitment is to the story and to each other.
