A new era for audio drama

Audio drama needs only actors, a microphone and a listener in the dark. We make it with the ambition of film.

Our productions are mixed in Dolby Atmos, placing listeners at the centre of the story with spatial audio that feels cinematic, all through headphones.

Rooted in Wales, reaching the world

AUDIAMA is headquartered in Cardiff, Wales, with our US operations based in New York. Our debut production, Lonely No More, was recorded at the historic Dylan Thomas Radio Studio at BBC Cymru Wales, a fitting home for a company dedicated to the craft of spoken storytelling.

We’re proud to work with the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and to champion Welsh and regional talent both in front of and behind the microphone.

Our mission

Spatial audio, the reach of streaming and a growing appetite for immersive storytelling make this the moment for a new kind of production company: one that treats audio with the ambition the best television and film studios bring to the screen.

AUDIAMA exists to unleash the power of sound, one story at a time. We work with leading writers, directors, actors and sound designers on original drama made for the listener in the dark.

Designed to be experienced, not just heard.
