I got a good response to my Soup-to-Nuts class offering for November. So I've opened a second section on the weekend of December 1&2 for those who couldn't get into the November class.
But… I still have a couple of spots in this December 1&2 class. Please get in touch with me if you are interested in signing up. And please feel free to pass this on to anyone else you think might be interested.
Thanks!
Claire Schoen
Here's the scoop:
A 2-day intensive
on
documentary radio production
Logistics:
This seminar will be held December 1 & 2, 2012.
Each day's class will run from 10 am to 5:30 pm,
including 6 hours of class work, plus lunch and breaks.
It will be held at Claire’s studio in Berkeley, California
Class will be limited to 8 students.
The cost of the 2-day seminar is $250.
The Course:
Through lectures, group discussion, Q & A, written handouts, and lots of audio demos, this two-day class will explore the ins and outs of creating a documentary-style radio piece. Designed to meet the needs of mid-level producers, this seminar will also be accessible to individuals who have little or no experience in radio production.
Compelling audio documentary incorporates a creative weave of elements including narration, interviews, music, vérité scenes, character portraits, dramatizations, performances, archival tape and ambience beds. Students learn how these elements serve to paint a picture in sound.
Emphasis will be put on the production process. To this end, the class will examine the steps of concept development, research, pre-production, recording techniques, interviewing, writing, organizing tape, scripting, editing and mixing required to create an audio documentary.
Most importantly, we will focus on the art of storytelling. We will discuss dramatic structure, taking the listener through introduction, development and resolution of a story. And we will explore how character development brings the listener to the heart of the story.

Aural Fixation, an audio-only portion of the Strange Beauty Film Festival, is currently accepting audio work of any shape or form with a running time of 30 minutes or less. Pieces in the 90 second to 5 minute range are encouraged. The only requirement is that the work be strangely beautiful and/or beautifully strange. We are looking for stuff that strikes a chord, has an emotional impact, makes us think. If you feel your piece fits the bill, it probably does. We can't wait to hear it.
Previous broadcast history is of no concern. Audio work/sound art of any type/content is welcome, such as narrated, verite, soundscapes, raw tape, excerpts, scenes, sound or audio "moments," found tape, experimental, audio theater, and creative radio work (to name a few). Music may also be a good fit for Aural Fixation if it relies very heavily on recorded sound over musical instruments.
The deadline is November 15, 2012, entry fee is $5.
The festival will be held January 24-26, 2013 at Manbites Dog Theater in gritty Durham, North Carolina.
More information and entry form are available at our web site:

We're doing a funky mashup contest with SoundCloud and we'd love to have you (or anyone you know) participate. You can submit practically anything — more on that here: http://blog.soundcloud.com/2012/10/16/fellows-popuparchive-mashup/.
The contest is a quick one — we're not expecting you to sink much time on it. Submissions are limited to three minutes. It's an opportunity to put archival audio to use — and a great chance to scoop up a SoundCloud Pro account (a 250€ value).
Sample audio building blocks — http://soundcloud.com/popuparchive/sets — consist of archival material from this year's SoundCloud Community Fellows. The contest is currently scheduled to end Wednesday, October 24th, though it might be extended.
Don't hesitate to let us know if you have questions, and pass this on to anyone who'd be interested!
Thanks,
Anne & Bailey
