Asking a Timid Vampire for Directions [Pt. 1][Slow Burn][Strangers to More][M4A][ASMR]

"The city is rude. It eats hope- turns it into pretty little lights on the skyline." Loved this part!

Wait...he had a knife and was scared of us mugging him?! "I think I'm hearing my own heartbeat in my ears *mimics a snare drum pace*" my guy's having an undead heart attack

[@whitestar7641]

I loved this, especially talking about how the speaker toured Europe. My thought immediately leaped to after finding out they’re a vampire. “So you said you toured Europe with a friend, did you visit Romania, specifically where Transylvania was? I was wondering if you went there to visit your Uncle Dracula. Ba dum tss.” I would give anything to hear their response to that. 😂

[@_fruitloops]

Alright so a vampire thinking he was getting mugged and offering all his bus money is pretty funny 😂 and the little papapapapapapapapa 😩 ugh adorable (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠) Love the little hints: the 15 mile walks (done in an hour xD), the sensitive hearing and smell, the long trips that seem to have an eeriness to them. Just sprinkled around in the right places! AH, and the ending. The shift in your tone and piano together...AAHH SO GOOD TANUKI DAMN IT 😩 Can't wait for part 2 🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

[@tanukiaudios]

@_fruitloops Hehe I tried to throw in enough hints that made it obv there's a lil something different about this guy hehe. I had fun thinking about what makes him actually a vampire. More about that in the next vid though, hope to see you there :)

[@rinavagyok7370]

DID HE JUST SAY BUDAPEST?! IF YES HOOOOOLY MOOOOLY, ITS ALWAYS MAKES ME SO EXCITED IF SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT MY CAPITAL CITY

[@lyechii]

having shameful flashbacks to the first time i went clubbing and this very situation happened to me, no vampires tho, which is incredibly unfortunate 😔

[@tanukiaudios]

@lyechii that sounds so awful omg I would freak outtt…I hope it makes a good story to tell! This is for sure more relaxing vibes thank you so much for listening

[@lyechii]

@tanukiaudios hehe, the delightful thing about being one too many fruity drinks under the table, my flatmates (who I had only known for an hour prior to getting sloshed) and I decided to go on a treasure hunt around the town, even tho i had definitely not been anywhere in the town that night 😌 I am now the keeper of a very blurry image of a gingerbread recipe stuck to the wall that was allegedly queen elizabeth I's favourite, and a 20 minute video of one of my aforementioned flatmates sobbing on the floor next to the kebab she dropped during our 3am endeavours. that video is most definitely my finest piece of cinematography, no doubt about that less fun part was having to do the walk of shame the next night to have the very pretty security lady give me the look™️ when I had to ask if my stuff had survived the night (which, thankfully, it had)

[@tanukiaudios]

@lyechii Sounds like SUCH an adventurous evening actually, that's awesome. 20 whole minutes of sobbing over dropped food is so real, I think the rest of the night would be worth it just for that vid. You should try to make the cookies sometime, sounds tastyy hehe

[@catnonymouse]

Omg omg omg omg omg the way my stomach did a flip when i heard the clash of the knife omggggg Eeeeee Vampire Tanukiiii!!!! Vampnuki! This whole thing was so good!! My favourite parts were when the listener started crying and your voice went soft (that was so sweet) and at the end when Vampnuki was struggling to control his urges!! The suspensful music!!! There were little vampire things i noticed like obviously prefering when the Sun is down but also Vampnuki being able to walk really fast! The pale skin and Romania being the last stop on the trip??? Maybe thats where he turned 🤔 Thank you so much for the audio Tanuki, really well made as always ❤❤❤ Also maybe a part 2 👀🤭 Edit: OMG THERE'S MORE i did not read the title properly at all lol

[@tanukiaudios]

@Catnonymouse I couldn’t leave it at that!!! Part 2 is coming tomorrow! I’m not sure what genre of vampire he is, I just gave him little vampire behaviors that made me happy hehe. Thank you so much for listening

[@FoxTailsxoxo]

This starts so adorable and lovely. I love the stammering vampire who is afraid of being mugged. Makes me grin so wide. Wanted to comment before i listen to part 2. The voice acting and world building is so wonderful. 💙

You create such high quality audios and the visuals on screen always pair lovely with them. Truly a delightful treat!

[@vroomvroomvroom889]

okay, wow. i know i said that i'd wait until the morning to post my thoughts but i reaaaally wanna say this. even though this is only part one, the script definitely has me tuned in! in my own case, coming up with random scenarios is not so easy, but you do it flawlessly! obviously, you're putting in a lot of effort for us to enjoy, and i have to give you another clap. and i'm a little bit curious, where do you start when coming up with scripts? do you already have a faint idea of it and just let your mind run as you write, or do you list a few things you'd like to bring up beforehand? either way, it's really well put together, and really keeps me invested! i'm kind of into writing, and dialogue is my favourite part of it! a lot of people think it's the thing with the least-required effort, but it's a little difficult making up a conversation that you want audiences to enjoy and pay attention to. honestly, tanuki, you make it seem like it comes to you naturally, even if it doesn't! somehow i genuinely forgot i was listening to a video for a moment! thanks so much for this, can't wait for the next part tomorrow!!

[@tanukiaudios]

@vroomvroomvroom889 I saw your first comment so I was surprised to see this one!! Ah thank you for saying so! Spoiler, there's an outro at the end of the next part where I talk a little about it but I've actually been picking at this idea for months haha. Had the initial idea of "you ask a stranger for directions at night and he turns out to be a vampire" like ages ago but I wasn't really sure where to take it up until a few days ago. I knew I wanted a vampire vid because that's so fundamental to VA channels but also I'm bored of the typical treatment of brooding, aloof, and seductive that vampires in fiction usually get. So I wanted to write this character to be distinct in his own way while still playing with some of the tropes, y'know? When I start writing scripts though, I start at that initial idea of a setup, and then I write a little outline for it. The first thing is to figure out the 'big moment' that the audio should build up to and then I kinda go backwards from there? But it varies usually. And after I get the skeleton together and start writing, the character changes and develops more details and usually I go back through and rearrange some points. It evolves as I go! Omg yes, speaking from firsthand, dialogue can be so hard to get right!! Especially with writing for like audio drama bc if you just say what's going on, that's just an audiobook and it's not as engaging. If I can find the sweet spot for who a character is and I vibe with them, they become super easy to write. Buuut otherwise it does NOT come naturally ha. Takes lots of effort to break through and actually get the story going the way I want it to, I'm sure you get how it goes hehe. More depth to come in the next one! It's quite a bit longer...hope you enjoy :)

[@vroomvroomvroom889]

@@tanukiaudios ah, thank you so much! i'm a little tired of the "brooding and seductive vampire" type too, so i'm a little glad that you took your character away from that stereotype and put your own kind of spin on him! making him a little more timid and not so outgoing and "dangerous", it's a nice change! i understand how you write it now, and honestly, it seems a little bit easier than the "improvise and then redraft" technique that i did for a while, heh! having a skeleton seems like you have something to lay back on, something to refer to. thanks for telling me! and yeah, i totally get how making way for the story to get through really is! it's definitely not as easy as people make it look! also i really like your outros, i will not lie. just hearing you talk for a little bit directly to us as a, sort of "refresher", i'd call it. more reason to be excited for tomorrow's video! thank you, tanuki, again, and i'll see you then! (sorry for rambling, but woah! i just re-listened to a little bit and i literally just noticed how the background music suddenly shifted and became a little more detuned when we got to that "big moment", i can't believe i didn't point it out before!)
