GASP’s Fresh Voices for Clean Air team members recently gathered at SLB Radio's Youth Media Center located at the Children's Museum for an insightful workshop about interviewing techniques - a crucial skill that will be a cornerstone of their upcoming oral history project.
The workshop was led by SLB Radio Technical Director Chad Green and Executive Director Larry Berger, who founded the station in the 1970s when he was a high school student.
During the workshop, our Fresh Voices team delved into the art of editing interviews, exploring various techniques. They also discussed a wide range of interviewing best practices, including effective question types and strategies to put interview subjects at ease.
Additionally, it covered practical tips for achieving optimal sound quality during recordings.
Up next? The Fresh Voices participants will continue on with their oral history project and will return to SLB Radio in the spring for a workshop focused on audio editing and storytelling.
Editor’s Note: SLB's Youth Media Center offers a wealth of free programming for students, including workshops, after school groups, and weekend drop-in sessions. You can check out their offerings here.
