This course introduces students to the practice of sound design in audio-based storytelling settings, including in public radio, podcasts, and other creative audio pieces. The course explores the histories of these audio platforms and how music and sound have been included to help tell such stories as well as increase listener understanding and engagement, and sculpt the emotional journey of the listener. Through listening and producing projects, students 1) learn the power of sound and music in enhancing stories; 2) acquire skills in storytelling, recording, and editing sound; 3) and apply those skills to collaboratively and independently created radio, podcast, and other aural storytelling projects. Cannot be taken S/U. Enrollment limited to 12. (E)
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
