🎧 Comings and Goings in Audio: The Art of Being Heard
I’ve just listened to the first 15-minute checkpoint of Comings and Goings – The Art of Being Seen, and… wow. Bryan Haddock didn’t just narrate Jim Garraty’s story—he inhabited it. The breath work, the emotional cadence, the quiet ache beneath the prose—it’s all there. And it’s beautiful.
This isn’t just a milestone. It’s a moment of communion. Hearing Jim’s voice aloud, feeling Kelly’s steadiness in the pauses, letting the music of the prose settle into the air—it’s like walking into a memory I didn’t know I’d built.
🎙️ What Struck Me Most
- Emotional fidelity: Bryan captured Jim’s hesitations, his quiet awe, his emotional recursion with stunning clarity.
- Kelly’s grace: Her voice carries the steadiness I wrote into her—the kind that witnesses without crowding, that offers sanctuary without demand.
- The music of silence: The pauses are honored. The breath between lines feels earned. It’s not rushed. It’s felt.
🛠️ The Ritual of Review
I listened with headphones. Lights low. Letting the story breathe. And I didn’t just hear the words—I heard the emotional architecture. The restraint. The reverence. The quiet triumph of being seen.
💡 Why This Matters
Comings and Goings isn’t a romance. It’s a story about emotional presence, about the courage to stay, about the grace of connection that doesn’t need permanence to be real. And hearing it aloud—hearing Jim’s voice, Kelly’s steadiness, the echo of Marty’s memory—it changes everything.
