PrideNZ.com is hosting free audio training workshops with a LGBTI community focus. Over five weekends PrideNZ.com producer Gareth Watkins will introduce participants to various recording scenarios and explore ways of capturing sound, demonstrating audio editing techniques. The workshops will take place at Wellington Access Radio and will be hands on, giving participants the opportunity to record and edit a short interview. The workshops are open to anyone but will be LGBTI-community focussed. Timed to coincide with Wellington’s Pride Festival - the idea being that the collective will learn recording techniques and then have the opportunity to capture a diverse range of LGBTI voices during the Pride Festival. Participants will then edit the material and create an hour-long radio show that will be broadcast on Access Radio and hosted as a podcast on PrideNZ.com No experience or equipment is required. However it would be useful if participants had access outside of the workshops to an audio recorder and a computer with audio editing software so they could make full use of the opportunity. Cost: FREE, limited to 6 participants. Spaces are limited so you need to register before the workshops begin. TO REGISTER please email info@pridenz.com. Please make sure you can commit to the five Sundays listed below. Location: Wellington Access Radio, 35-37 Ghuznee Street, Wellington, New Zealand Time: Sundays 10am - 12pm Dates: 21 February, 28 February, 6 March, 20 March, 27 March 2016 (note Wellington’s Pride Festival runs 5-13 March)
