AND LATEST INFORMATION ABOUT GIDDIO'S AUDIO ADVENTURES!
Why Audio Adventures? Kids Listen Differently
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."Albert Einstein
Audio adventures are different from audio books. They have full-cast voice acting, sound effects and music like old-time radio drama. "Hoerspiele" have been part of German childhoods since the '70s, the advent of audiotapes.
Audio CD or downloads are the first medium kids can usually use freely without interference or control from their parents. Audio adventures give them a relatively open space to which they can retire to and dream. They listen to it as an entertainment, to dispel bad moods, sadness or to boost good mood, well-being. While listening kids usually do other things too like playing, painting, reading or even their homework. Audio adventures are used more intensely than other media. Kids listen to the same audio adventure over and over again because they feel safe and secure when their expectations are met.
With little children sight is less developed than with teenagers or adults. Perception of the world, adoption of their environment are happening much more strongly through other senses, touching and hearing.
Exciting and funny audio adventures leave more to the imagination for kids than TV. The reception of audio adventures and audio books is more associative. Limited to sound kids can put themselves into the story more easily. They can also participate easier emotionally. At the same time they can easier manage the intensity of their emotions. They can dream themselves into exciting adventures, but they can also easily take themselves out of such situations: Open their eyes and stop the recording.
Kids listen to audio adventures over and over again, even specific scenes only, often hundreds of times. The recognition of situations, reciting phrases and dialogues, the anticipation of scenes, can give kids feelings of success, because they are affirmed in their expectations and skills.
Kids listen differently: They hear more and what they hear should get more attention!
By the way, on the covers Billy Brown’s audio adventures you will always only find Billy himself. Leaving of everybody else's appearance – mostly of Billy's best friend Emma – to your kids' own imagination!
"Children enjoy full cast audio adventures so much because they love the variety and different sounds; it is almost like going on an adventure. And because the audio is not all the same voice the kids can't wait for the next great sound or voice to come up. Children love characters having different voices and try to imitate those voices." iParenting Media Awards reviewer
