Visualise This: Recent Episodes
Jonathan Warncke
Visualise This is a series of short, creativity-stretching exercises using only words to fully immerse you in a world of pure imagination. If you enjoy these episodes, please share them and spread the word.
This is not really a visualisation, but I wanted to post it anyway. It's a fun little parody sketch I wrote and recorded years ago in 2016, but haven't fully sound engineered until now.

Here's one of my first visualisations, remade with BANGBANG CLIPCLOP KABOOMS, by which I mean immersive sound effects and music.

If you've played D&D, the most popular tabletop roleplaying game in the world, you've probably cast fireball at some point. It's an iconic spell. But what would it actually feel like to create fire from nothing, shape it into a missile, and obliterate anything from orcs to castles, to double-parked SUVs?
I'm enjoying the heck out of doing more sound engineering on these visualisations. I hope you like them, too.

Welcome to Season 2!
Over the past 15 episodes I've really enjoyed getting my voice recording and mastering right, as well posting the amazing work of Tanyth Withers. Go check out her yoga biz on insta, @yogawithtanyth!
For season 2 I've finally pulled the trigger on a sound effects and music library, and forthcoming episodes will be much more immersive, which I hope will make the visualisations even clearer in your mind.
Obviously, sound effects libraries aren't free, and neither is hosting Visualise This.
If you'd like to help me make more visualisations, the best way to help is to leave me a good review on Apple iTunes, or support me on Patreon.com. Every little bit counts. :P

Between SpaceX, Spaceforce, and continued interest in heading to Mars, I've been watching a lot of space movies recently. I thought a trip to the moon would be fun to write and record. It was, but it also took a lot of work, because it's real science, history, and technology that requires research. Hopefully I got everything right. Enjoy.

I'm a long time Dungeons & Dragons player, and truly believe that it's had an incredible influence on my creative career. My friends and I would get together every week on Sunday, order some pizza, and practice train our imaginations, tell stories, learn to act and improvise, and generally have a great time.
As we all grew up, we moved away from each other, sometimes to different countries, and traditional D&D, with 5 or 6 people sitting around a table, got harder and harder to organise.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we've switched to online platforms to play, and suddenly D&D is back. I'm looking forward to writing and recording lots of visualisations that play in this highly imaginative world. It's not everyone's mug of ale, but I think even those who aren't into fantasy should give it a try. Who doesn't like the idea of blowing stuff up with magic or superpowers?
If you'd like to hear more of this kind of visualisation, please let me know by commenting on the episode on our Instagram feed, under the username @visualise_this. I upload episodes to both channels, using IG stories. You can also suggest ideas and chat to me by becoming a patron on patreon.com/visualise_this. I've got a few different tiers up, including "Concert Lighter", "Molotov", "Moonrocket", and "Your very own flame". The names are pretty random.

Another beautifully calming episode from Tanyth Withers. The writing is evocative and I find the occasional rumble of the passing trains in the background very calming.
You can find Tanyth at www.yogawithtanyth.com

This is a calm, imaginative, slightly magical visualisation that will take you to a small rowboat in the middle of an endless lake, where you can watch the night sky.

Journey in your mind to an emerald-green forest, and dip your toes in the refreshing waters of a babbling brook.
This calming and evocative episode comes from the very wonderful Tanyth Withers. Tanyth is yoga teacher who is currently teaching from her home in London. You can connect with her and take her classes at yogawithtanyth.com. Tanyth often uses visualisations like this one at the end of her sessions.

Have you ever had a dream, even a daydream, in which you explore a world up in the clouds? This episode will take you leaping across a fluffy landscape, sailing on a cloudship in the sky, and racing up the side of a storm cloud at the head of a charging herd of storm horses. Pure childlike fantasy. Enjoy.

Here's a quick little visualisation for something we've all done. As I mention in the intro, the response to the first three episodes of Visualise This has been amazing, and I can't wait to write and record a ton of them. I hope you're enjoying them so far.

Huge thanks to guest contributor Tanyth Withers, who takes you through a really calming, 6-minute meditative visualisation. This is a perfect 6-minute visualisation for those who want to share a little light with the world right now. Tanyth lives in the UK and teaches yoga from home. If you want an amazing online yoga teacher, check her out on www.yogawithtanyth.com
The first time I did this visualisation was after a 60-minute stretchy-bendy class with Tanyth, so I highly recommend listening to this after a session.
Making these episodes takes quite a bit of time. If you're keen more episodes, more often, please consider helping me spend more time on Visualise This, and less on freelancing. You can support me on Patreon for exactly $1. A single buckaroozle. A buckaccino.
