Group Project: Narrative Audio Storytelling
Some of the most powerful storytelling can be crafted through sound. The Narrative Audio Storytelling Group set out for this year’s January Short Term with the goal of producing their own original audio narrative. After listening to samples of pieces of fiction and non-fiction audio storytelling, students in this group project were instructed to create original audio plays, short stories, or pieces of creative nonfiction to tell a story using a combination of narration, sound design, and music.
One goal for the students in this group was to understand how rich audio storytelling can be, and how few barriers there are to create something immersive and easy to distribute using technology. Students worked with their staff mentors Mohan Fitzgerald and Sara McGuire to select their topic and to execute their vision. This year's projects ranged from horror audio podcasts and audio dramas, to single-character narrative stories.
