Ok. So. I’m back. ‘From where?’, you ask. Even if you don’t ask, I’m going to tell you …
I went to Kent for a week courtesy of BBC Sparks – an introduction to radio writing for … erm … would-be radio writers (obv)
I’m not going to bang on about it. In brief, it was intense. Creative. Challenging. Inspiring. All that. A rollercoaster, if you will.
One of our tasks was to write a 3 minute radio drama, which we were then given an hour to record ourselves ‘on location’. You can listen to them [here].
Please note, no actors were shipped in. You might want to bear that in mind, esp if listening to the character of ‘Sarah’ in Nick Payne’s Jim!
I knew that “telephone voice” would come in useful one day!
