Back Jacket
Written in an encouraging and accessible way, this unique textbook is about how to compose with sound--how to make powerful podcast episodes, audio essays, personal narratives, and audio documentaries. Using ideas and language from rhetoric and writing studies as well as the authors' extensive personal experiences with soundwriting, this book teaches new and more experienced soundwriters how to approach the world with a listening ear and body, determine a natural and productive writing process, target the perfect audience, use such rhetorical tools as music and sound effects, and work in an audio editing program.
The many exercises throughout the book and the supportive resources on a companion website will help budding makers strengthen their practical skills and deepen their understanding of what it takes to make compelling audio projects.
