Behind many audio stories, there’s stacks of paper and documents full of text. Old interview transcripts that predate recording technology. Letters found in a box. Court records. Emails.

In this session from the 2018 Third Coast Conference, John Delore discussed ways to bring these materials to life in the sonic realm. He outlined fundamental differences between how the written word & the spoken word communicate meaning and emotion and shared ideas for using reenactments and adapting from fiction to tell a story.

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).
