Stories you can hear
Productions
Original audio drama, documentary work and collaborations shaped by performance, atmosphere and the belief that sound can carry an entire world.
Work with history
Audio has been the medium from the beginning.
Before podcasts became a category, Matthew Boudreau was producing, directing and designing stories for headphones. 11th Hour Audio carries that experience forward through original productions, collaborations and editorial work that treats every voice, room tone and transition as part of the story.
The work ranges from intimate character pieces to large-scale licensed productions, independent fiction and documentary conversations. Different genres ask for different choices, but the standard stays the same: serve the story, respect the audience and make every sound earn its place.
Award-winning originals
Productions including Intensive Care and 1918 earned recognition for the way writing, performance and sound design worked as one.
Major-world collaborations
Sound design and production work has contributed to projects connected with Audible, The X-Files: Cold Cases and Locke & Key.
Independent audio fiction
From Aural Stage productions to the 11th Hour community, independent creators remain central to the work.
Editorial & documentary
Long-form interview editing for The Activist Files brings the same care to documentary voices and real-world stories.
How we work
The production should disappear. The experience should remain.
Story first
Technology matters, but only in service of intention. We begin with what the listener needs to feel, understand or imagine.
Performance has space
Editing should support actors, not sand away everything human. Breath, hesitation and silence often carry as much meaning as dialogue.
Worlds have texture
Sound design is not decoration. It establishes scale, distance, history, rhythm and the physical truth of a scene.
