Hella Solutions blog: "Document. Share. Inspire."

I’ve begun setting up a web site for my audio documentary “SisterLove: Keeping It Real, Globally.” Right now there is just an intro page but why not go and check it out and bookmark the url?! www.sisterloveradio.com is where it’s at! I will be posting audio elements that did not make it into the final cuts and other intriguing material. BTW, modules 1 & 2 are almost completed! Module 3 will be finished after I graduate (hopefully by the Fall…I graduate in June!).

I guess I’m now an ‘official’ audio documentarian. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration but I am now an official member of the Association of Independents in Radio (A.I.R.). If you are serious about getting into audio documentary and/or doing any formal broadcast audio work I highly suggest joining this group. They offer a lot of crucial resources for beginners and professionals. One of the programs I’m looking at is a mentoring program they have that gets seasoned members together with ‘newbies’ who are trying to better their skills. They also have wonderful articles and listings for learning about funding, pitching your work and all the little things that will help you be successful. You can check’em out over at www.airmedia.org.

Another good resource is Public Radio Exchange (PRX). PRX is good for distribution and they have some resources for producers but they do not compare to A.I.R. if you have to choose between who to join…

I’ve posted a new teaser for my project “SisterLove: Keeping it Real, Globally” over on the Public Radio Exchange web site. You can listen and/or download it over there:

Alright, back to work! FYI, the completed project will likely be available after June 10!!! ciao…
