We make stories for the ear, but there’s no escaping the highly visual nature of the work we produce...

No other medium allows its audience to see as imaginatively, as privately, and as sensitively, as audio. But how do we go about accessing this visual capacity of audio? How do we find those ways of describing a scene, an object, a person, in a way that brings our audience the full Technicolor experience. Focusing on script, this session from the 2018 Third Coast Conference looks at visual language. Australian producer Sophie Townsend shares tips for using narration to allow our audience to see what they’re hearing.

You can listen to all the sessions from previous years of the conference at ThirdCoastFestival.org. There you can also find a link to the full transcript of the this episode, thanks to Descript (coming soon).
