SAT – JR Podcaster 10+ yrs (Fall 2022)

Our JR Podcaster course is designed for storytellers who would like to work behind the camera, yet maintain creative control over their stories. 

There are plenty of resources about the technical aspects of making a podcast: best microphones and recorders etc. But very few focus on the creative part and the process of putting it together.

Students will be guided through the fundamental aspects of Fiction Storytelling Podcast, including podcast scriptwriting, voice coaching, sound recording, music and sound effects selections as well as audio editing. We encourage our young podcasters to create a particular story, viewpoint, message or experience. Participants are expected to complete and publish their original piece of audio drama by the end of the course. Join us and let your voice be heard!

Drawing and painting is something that we will enjoy for our entire lives. This is the journey of an artist. Each day there are special and memorable things that happen.
