Audio Production or How to See With Your Ears

Guest Instructor : Danièle Panneton

Pedagogical Assistant : Stéphane Claude

Workshop
January 30-31, February 6-7 and 13-14, 2010 from 10 am to 5 pm

This workshop will present all the steps involved in audio pre-production, production and post-production. Participants will discover the essential role of an audio director: organization, creative contribution, as well as that magic touch that colours a sound with the uniqueness of its orchestra conductor.

Program

  • Planning a production schedule, directing styles and script development (placement of audio-images, effects and music);
  • Directing writers, analyzing a text and identifying its positive and negative aspects;
  • Choosing voices according to their color and other identified qualities;
  • Directing actors, the communication of information and emotion, voice projection, body movements, and breathing;
  • Technical concerns and teamwork, placing voices within a sound-scape, and note-taking during recording.
