Digital Storytelling Workshops

Audio CD Creation
The Story Ship's audio workshops were created for kids eight and above to introduce them to the recording arts. By combining today's digital audio technology with the uninhibited creative drive of children, extraordinary things happen. And parents and teachers want to share them with every one they know! So these workshops become great fund-raisers and money-makers for our clients.

"Create Your Own Storytelling Audio CD"
This workshop is perfect for After School Programs! Kids work with a Story Ship Artist to create an Audio CD of their own stories, sound effects and music. They are guided through the creative writing process creating a story and corresponding script, then coached in vocal storytelling techniques using musical interpretation concepts. The Story Ship Artist brings a Pro-Tools digital audio studio on location to record the kids. Participants also learn about the science of sound, computer editing and CD construction. The final product is a digitally mastered Audio CD with full color cover artwork. Music and sound effects created by the children are also mixed with the student's stories.

This is a great way for kids to learn and practice reading and acting skills while discovering facts about the science of sound!
