The portfolio and oral history project of a Chicago based Freelancer
It’s up! I’m so excited that I can share my Vocalo piece with you all. Check it out here: https://soundcloud.com/vocalo/three-artists-three-projects-one-chicago-by-elisa-shoenberger
As I’ve mentioned previously, it features three artists I’ve interviewed for the project: Nora Moore Lloyd, Carron Little, and Meida Teresa McNeal. It’s a taste of the amazing work that they do!
I hope you will enjoy!
So I'm coming up to the final week of the Vocalo Storytelling workshop. The final piece is due next Wednesday, March 2nd! I've learned so much in these past five weeks!
I've finished my second round of interviews with everyone. I've got all the secondary tape I'm going to need. Right now, I'm working on finalizing my script for my voiceover. And then mixing it all together. TIme is of the essence.
I've learned new ways of thinking about sound. There's the interviews themselves, which are critical. But I should also think about getting sound from someone showing me some work or asking them to show their favorite tool for their artwork. It helps set the scene!
So I'm going to be off the radar for the next week and a half as I finish this project.
Until then!
So very exciting news for the project: I was accepted into the six week Vocalo Storytelling Workshop! What an honor and an opportunity! I'm two classes into the workshop. For the next four weeks, I'll be working on creating my own audio piece based on interviews for this project. This is truly an exciting and thrilling opportunity. I wish to thank Maria Gaspar, artist and oral history participant, for recommending that I apply for the project.
As many of you know, I have always wanted to use the incredible audio that I have collected in the course of this project but I know that I know nothing when it comes to sound editing. This class will hopefully teach me how to craft and edit an audio story, which is simply magnificent. It's also possible that my piece will be good enough for the radio.
So if I'm a little quiet over the next four weeks, it's because I'm working hard on this project (along with other very important personal things). Whatever happens, I should have a piece that I can share with you all in the next few months!
That's all for now!
