About

I've got a thing for audio recording. It started way back when, listening to record albums in the dark, singing along to my favorite singers, trying to mimic every nuanced sound they made. I slowly began to focus on radio announcers, TV newscasters and radio plays like 'Ruby, the Galactic Gumshoe' on CBC. I made a game of extracting the layers of sound that made up dramatic radio play scenes that rivited my attention. I was in my twenties and I was in love!

Synchronous (Onsite) Audio Projects: ebook narration, voice over, radio play, podcasting more

Sun, Apr 30, 14:30-15:50 Asia/Seoul

An audio project can be any audio-centric project. This could be in the form of a journal, narrating an audiobook, video voice over, it can be an interview, a discussion, a performance. It can be scripted or unscripted. It can include speaking, singing, music, and sound effects. It really can be as simple or complex as you and your students want it to be. You can do it with existing tools like a smartphone or you can break the bank with the latest and greatest high tech equipment. On the pedagogic side it offers four-language-skills practice, it’s project based, it offers opportunities for collaboration, team building and cooperation. It challenges students to explore the creative side of their entertainment devices, and finally it allows your students to take their English language practice outside of the classroom in as public a form as they dare.
