Wuxia & Ancient Chinese Voices
Chinese period drama has a sound of its own: a storyteller who could slap a gavel on the table, a swordsman with the road in his voice, a mansion where every word is weighed. These 8 voices performed dozens of scenes from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin in the theater, several of them in English too.

How to choose and use them
- 01
Storyteller or soft narrator
For legends and battles, the Old Storyteller brings the cadence of Chinese pingshu storytelling. For quieter domestic drama such as Dream of the Red Chamber, the theater uses the Late-Night DJ.
- 02
Cast by temperament
The Wandering Swordsman plays Zhuge Liang, Lin Chong and Wu Song; the Domineering CEO plays Guan Yu and Zhou Yu. You do not need one voice per character, only one per type.
- 03
English with the same cast
The Empty Fort, The White Bone Demon and Nie Xiaoqian have English versions performed by these same voices, with a light Chinese accent. They were made by adapting the Chinese scene in the audio drama studio with “keep the same voices” on, so each actor performs the English text.
