SUMMARY:Capturing Voices: Recording Audio for History
DESCRIPTION:With Frankie Ray \n  \nThis workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the principles and practices of recording high-quality audio in a range of real-world contexts. Participants will gain practical experience setting up and working with multiple microphone types\, including lavaliers\, shotgun microphones\, podcasting microphones\, and built-in camera audio systems. Through guided demonstrations and exercises\, the workshop examines how microphone selection\, placement\, and recording environment shape the clarity\, texture\, and intelligibility of recorded sound. \nParticipants will practice recording in both indoor and outdoor settings\, rotating between the roles of recorder and speaker while capturing short audio samples across varied acoustic conditions. Emphasis is placed on critical listening as a methodological skill. The workshop also introduces basic audio workflows\, including offloading recordings\, performing foundational edits using Audacity\, and organizing audio files for long-term storage and archival preservation. \nFramed around the documentation of oral histories\, this session equips participants with practical and transferable skills for recording clear\, durable\, and ethically sound audio materials. No prior technical experience is required. \n  \nFrankie Ray (they/them) is a Montreal-based videographer and DJ\, with professional experience across music festivals\, music videos\, and film productions\, including Netflix\, HBO\, the NFB and Crave. Trained as a certified 2nd Assistant Camera in ICG669/IATSE\, Frankie brings both technical expertise and creative insight to their work. Outside of their personal work\, Frankie has always put a focus on accessible\, hands-on training. At COHDS\, Frankie combines their professional background with a commitment to supporting researchers\, artists\, and storytellers in capturing and preserving stories with care and technical confidence. \n  \nREGISTRATION \nRegister now with this link \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.
