"Turn up the Volume: Storytelling through Sound" Virtual CUE 2021

Session Slides Here.

I am presenting at Virtual CUE 2021 on Saturday, March 20th at 2pm!

Session Description:

We interact with sound on a daily basis, both consciously and subconsciously. Through these interactions, we absorb the emotions and imagery that awaken our curiosity about the world. What story does this tell? How does it make me feel? In this session, participants will be introduced to several tools, such as GarageBand, as well as project ideas that aim to awaken curiosity and storytelling in students, using sound as the primary focus.

Decide.

It's tough to face the screens today.
It's tough to face the screams in play.
The people lied, they bend and sway.
It's tough to really know the way.

If all the Earth were blue and gray.
If all the truth was out of play.
If wisest minds were kept at bay.
A blinded ship will ride the waves.

Who am I to pitch my voice?
Who am I to make a choice?
Who am I to be aware?
Of all the pain that's caused by fear.

Heaviness may be inside.
Helplessness may make you cry.
We are more than fear and lies.
Keep the faith, we will not die.

You are one to reckon with.
ACTION changes those who sit.
Happiness begins with wit.
Never be the one to quit.
