You may have a different problem than you think. Last check, ACX doesn’t want Radio Theater.
“NBC and Ralston Purina proudly present ‘Pepper Young’s Family’.” (Google it)
No Hammond organ music and no cast of thousands. That’s not to say you can’t post that as a podcast. I often wondered why more people don’t do that.
Audiobook Mastering isn’t for theater. It’s so you pass ACX Technical Compliance.
Any voice works, but Mastering was not tested on multiple different voices.
like one angrily shouting and the other one being calm.
Actors learn to have tightly-stressed voices and appear to be yelling without actually getting louder. You can simulate quiet-restrained voices by getting close to the microphone…so your voice volume doesn’t change. That’s a reason voice performers have headphones on. So they can judge voice volume in real time.
If you insist on recording wild performances, you can use a brute-force tool like Chris’s Compressor to squash everything down to broadcast volume. I used to use it to compress podcast wild sound so I could listen in the car without constantly turning the volume up and down.
The only restriction I know of is to put two seconds of wild sound at the beginning and the end and then cut it off later. Chris doesn’t like running off the end of a performance.
