Description
Journey in Audio is an initiative by the Royal Geographical Society designed to enhance participants' abilities in audio storytelling and documentation. The programme is tailored for those undertaking geographical journeys, fieldwork, or research expeditions, offering a one-day, in-person workshop led by a professional audio producer at RGS in London. Participants receive practical training in field audio recording, the loan of professional-standard equipment, a non-commercial license for REAPER audio production software, and financial support for travel and accommodation to attend the workshop if needed. The program also provides follow-up feedback sessions and the opportunity to showcase audio work through RGS channels, aiming to broaden the impact and reach of expedition narratives.
