Audio Stories: Create Narratives with Sound

“You have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for trusting me. I hope you have learned a lot and enjoyed exploring the world of sound narratives as much as I have. Before we say goodbye, let's review the key phases of the project. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Also remember that you have my project from the course in the previous unit so you can refer to it as a reference when you need it. These are the steps you must follow: Choose the character and create the preliminary pitch Choose your character, that is, the flesh and blood person you want to interview. Next, answer the following questions: who is he? Why am I interested? How do I know him? And what themes come to mind when I think of that person? With this information, create a preliminary pitch.

Do the pre-interview Conduct your pre-interview and, with the information you get from your character, write at least 10 questions to interview him and imagine groups of sounds of actions and environments that could accompany the interview. Do the interview It's interview time! "Record" and point out the most relevant parts of your story thinking of a narrative arc in which your interviewee begins with an action or an emotion. Then, make a script and do a dry reading of what it would sound like. Work with Reaper Put the pieces of the recording together in Reaper, listen raw, add ambient, action and object sounds, master and finish your project. Now share your project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I'm looking forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback! I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me, so I ask for your patience. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. This way you will learn twice as much! See you soon!”

I hope you have learned and, above all, that the process has invited you to imagine and create. Before we go I would like to remind you some of the most important points that we saw in the course. My project was music, but go ahead and work any other theme, character or circumstance. Remember that when choosing your character you should think of someone who you can easily access and that I can tell you a story...”
