With recent advances in computer technology, anyone can produce feature-length, broadcast quality audio from their computer, with low-cost (and sometimes no-cost) equipment and software.

This skillshare is a hands-on opportunity to learn how to gather sound in the field, write for radio and mix a finished product. Check out a range of microphones, recording devices, external sound cards and computer-based audio editing tools, plus learn about script-writing, voice techniques, strategies to pitch your story and get it on the air, and more.
