How can sound collages enrich our experience of a poem or story? In this workshop we will be discussing, making, and learning how to create rich sound collages that will captivate listeners. You will learn how to write text to sound, how to create DIY sound effects, record quality audio using your smartphone/recorder and basic audio editing. I will also share my tips on building your own recording studio. By the end of the workshop you will have the template of a sound collage to work with further in your own time. Whether you are a writer or radio/podcast maker, spoken-word artist, or simply interested in learning about the richness of sound — this workshop is for you. No prior-experience in using audio equipment necessary. Writers and artists from all backgrounds are welcome. Participants will be asked to move around the room and outdoors. This workshop will be prioritised for women of colour/trans women of colour and Indigenous people.
