 The audio production of *As You Like It* performed by Robin Schild is a masterful rendering of Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy, brimming with wit, emotion, and vibrant characterizations. Schild’s nuanced performance captures the playful banter and tender vulnerability of the text with unparalleled precision, making it a joy to listen to. Act Three, Scene Two, featuring Rosalind and Orlando, is an absolute standout. Schild brings an infectious energy to Rosalind's clever wit and a heartfelt sincerity to Orlando's earnestness, creating a dynamic interplay that feels both timeless and intimate. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, and Schild's ability to differentiate voices while maintaining the lyrical beauty of Shakespeare’s language is a marvel. The scene’s charm, humor, and emotional depth leap from the audio, leaving the listener enchanted and utterly captivated.

 I was blown away by the quality of the production at every level. Soundscapes is a fitting name, and I was transported! Peter Clark author- the Adventures of Mark Twain in the West- How I Became an Author.

 Robin Schild – Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits cover) Of the hundreds of covers of “Sultans of Swing,” this version stands out for augmenting one part of the original’s success, and highlighting another. Of the parts of the writing, solos, vocals and rhythm section of the original, perhaps the vocals are not the strongest aspect. Schild corrects this to some extent, but the version also captures the importance of the bass of the original. Illsley may have a rounded sense of his own contribution to the success of Dire Straits, but his contribution to “Sultans of Swing” was considerable, if you listen closely. The bass on this version highlights the importance of a successful bassline to a successful cover of the song.
