A Note on the Recordings
Conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Man in the Brown Suit is an audio production recorded and edited entirely in isolation. Each actor recorded their role, at home, on the equipment already available to them (in many cases, a cell phone). As expected, this does lead to some variable qualities, as well as flaws in the audio. The production team has done our best to mitigate most flaws, however they are impossible to eliminate entirely. Every errant click, or hiss, or echo, or likewise, we ask that you think of as a sign of passion and dedication. These are the maker’s marks of a team of actors dedicated to bringing you a little adventure when you needed it most. We hope you enjoy the show.
