How do you tell a great story through sound?

What is it like to act with just your voice?

Can you create a brilliant podcast drama in your own home?

Make exciting short audio plays over five weeks in this step by step class. You’ll explore how to tell stories for audio and podcasts, write your own plays, create your own sound effects, develop audio acting and microphone technique and finally record your own mini audio plays to share. 

This practical and creative workshop will playfully experiment with all elements from writing to acting to using recording software and editing your audio play to get it out into the world.
