This session on writing radio will attempt to demonstrate how great radio comes about. Using world-class examples, we'll look at how to approach the blank page. When to sit down and write radio and when not to. How to find the right voice. Why a jingle is never a good idea, well most of the time. And why radio shouldn't be where good ideas go to die.
Covering the nitty gritty of radio advertising craft, this session will lead you through casting; voice direction; studio time management; dealing with script changes; music search, edit and licensing; SFX; scene setting; sound design. It will demonstrate the practicalities of bringing great radio ideas to life.
This is where you can get behind the desk and push some buttons for yourself. You can play in the studio, try out a microphone, have a beer and a chat.
