Heather/Lily and also Radio Theatre Wiki
Hello having seen your reddit post, it got me wondering, what do we do about Heather Heyer/Lily MIlton? Remember, her actual name is Heather Heyer, not Lily Milton. Lily Milton was an alias given to her because she was 6 years old when she did most of her recordings for several FotF Radio Theatre productions in 2000 and 2001. She is an adult now and (I can't remember where but she has publically stated in youtube comments that she is Lily Milton. thanks PS, if you like you can give us a hand at https://radiotheatre.fandom.com/wiki/Radio_Theatre_Wiki where I'm trying to make articles about the radio dramas and cast members from various Focus on the Family Radio Theatre productions including the Narnia series. I'm blind so am bad at formatting and all that, and I did create an article about Heather Heyer, with permission from Heyer herself. Thanks. The info I got was directly from her, though I'm not comfortable giving her contact info out. She is cool with her real name being out there. Christian Minassian (talk) 10:20, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I created this page very recently: Focus on the Family Radio Theatre Very bare bones. Since I only have cassette tapes of The Magician's Nephew (Focus on the Family Radio Theatre) and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Focus on the Family Radio Theatre), and the 19 CDs of the full set, I only have definitive confirmation for the voice cast of those two. Everything else that isn't main characters, I cannot personally verify. One of the things I was trying to do was confirm who voices the Lady of the Green Kirtle. You can see the results of my research in my recent contributions on this wiki, and what I wrote in the edit summaries. Is it true that her only role in the whole seven productions was as a mouse in The Last Battle (Focus on the Family Radio Theatre)? Dogman15 (talk) 11:07, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Heather did additional voices in the Silver Chair, presumably as one of the school children in either the beginning or end of the story. I'm also having trouble finding Betty marsden's role in Prince Caspian and Nick Burnell's exact role in the Last Battle. I'm having similar problems with the roles in the Les Misérables audio drama from Focus on the Family (https://radiotheatre.fandom.com/wiki/Les_Mis%C3%A9rables) I also have this issue with many of Focus on the Family Radio Theatre's other productions, hence the to do list at [link hidden by Dogman15 because it seemed to be an error]. This is also the reason why I am hesitating to create the articles for the rest of the Narnia radio dramas from FotF, though you are absolutely welcome to do so yourself if you wish to. Also feel free to create any articles there you feel are necessary. Hopefully we can help each other out and make both articles on this wiki and on Radio Theatre wiki as accurate as possible.

 * Also heads-up, I edited the page you created, hope you like the changes. Hopefully i didn't mess up the visual style. Christian Minassian (talk) 11:37, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * All I have to go on is definitive sources: Printed inserts with cassettes or CDs, PDFs or other digital documents that come included with an official, authorized digital purchase, statements from someone representing FotF, or statements from any actor themselves, personally. Douglas Gresham didn't list Heather's name at the end of the final track of The Silver Chair when he was listing of the cast for that book's adaptation, so I'll need some sort of alternate proof that she was additional voices. (You're right in that the bullies at the school is a likely role she had.) I'll take a look at what you did, though I should get to bed soon. Dogman15 (talk) 11:42, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Those are fair points about Gresham not mentioning Heather's alias in the Silver chair. However it is important to also note that Gresham didn't mention Timothy Bateson, Joe Shaw, Wendy Craig and Ron Moody in the Last Battle, though their voices as Mr. Beaver, Caspian, Hwin and Puddleglum are clearly heard during the scene when all the friends of Narnia are in Aslan's garden. Christian Minassian (talk) 11:49, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Real quick: Don't forget to do those colons to keep the indentation going. As for the reunion at the end of The Last Battle, my guess is their names weren't mentioned because they had already been credited earlier, and their part was so short, and all of the actors are collectively credited in a bulk in the printed insert, and also possibly because they didn't want to make it run longer and need to compose different or longer music... All of these things combined is likely why they weren't mentioned. In comparison, perhaps not every single actor name is said at the end of The Silver Chair, perhaps because the actor was mentioned at the end of a chronologically previous production. This is just my speculation. Dogman15 (talk) 11:56, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hopefully I did the colon thing right. Anyway, those are good points. Steven Webb and Johnny Scott are also clearly heard in Prince Caspian as the boys at the school, though they aren't mentioned. Scott was previously in HHB and Webb would appear as Eustace in VDT. I wasn't sure whether to make an uncredited section of the Prince Caspian Focus on the Family page or not. I can see your point though, and it makes sense. Christian Minassian (talk) 12:04, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * You must study these actors a whole heck of a lot more than I have time to, for you to recognize their voices that easily. As easily as I might recognize some Los Angeles or Vancouver voice actors, especially the Vancouver VAs on shows produced at DHX Media. Dogman15 (talk) 12:10, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * My late grandmother gave me several FotF radi odramas on CD over the years, so I've come to know their voices quite well. I also have a bunch of British friends, so they always point out when they recognize an actor as well. Unrelated, I'm a Pokemon fan as well so when so I tend to recignize voice actors from that show when they show up in other stuff, so it's not just FotF that I know well.
 * I'm also fairly good with voices. I say fairly good because while I can confidently say that I get much of them right, I'm not always sure. I have aspirations of being a voice actor myself some day, so I guess that's where my passion comes from. Christian Minassian (talk) 12:23, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Les Misérables
Hello You did such a good job with finding the voice of the green lady from the Silver Chair. Do you think you could help find the roles for the Les Misérables radio drama from Focus on the Family? here are the pages:

https://lesmiserables.fandom.com/wiki/Les_Mis%C3%A9rables_(Focus_on_the_Family_Radio_Theatre)

https://radiotheatre.fandom.com/wiki/Les_Mis%C3%A9rables

If you could help out with that like you did the Green Lady here on Narnia wiki that would be great. Christian Minassian (talk) 20:07, 16 September 2021 (UTC)


 * What I did is I contacted FotF directly, via e-mail. https://www.focusonthefamily.com/about/contact-us/ You want to e-mail Help@FocusontheFamily.com, and in a few days, someone will probably get back to you. Dogman15 (talk) 22:50, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Focus on the Family Radi oTheatre - better way to organize the actors
Hello I think a much better way to organize the actors in the Focus on the Family Radio Theatre page would be to list them by which drama they debuted in. So I re-aranged the actors so that they are grouped by the audio drama they debuted in. I did my best to preserv fonts, you can check to see if I accidentally messed anything up. If you don't like the way it is organized now then feel free to undo it. thanks. Christian Minassian (talk) 01:52, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey there, it's Christian. You should check out Radio Theatre Wiki when you have a chance, and feel free to add or edit it any way you're able. I love how you got in touch with Lynn Robertson Hay to confirm some roles she did. I've been reaching out to FotF for info as wel, anyway, check it out and see what you'd like to work on. https://radiotheatre.fandom.com/wiki/Radio_Theatre_Wiki I'm also the primary admin for Henty Alive Wiki, https://hentyalive.fandom.com/wiki/Henty_Alive_Wiki which covers an audio series that features many of the same actors from Radio Theatre. So yeah, come and check them out, you're always welcome there. Christian Minassian (talk) 11:17, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't know what Henty Alive is, but I'll check out the Radio Theatre wiki. Dogman15 (talk) 08:20, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Henty Alive is the former name for Heirloom Audio's website for the Extraordinary Adventures of G.A. Henty series. Christian Minassian (talk) 09:02, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
