What You’ll Learn

  • In this class, you will create a family treasure by recording your loved one’s voices—an oral history. This is your chance to capture a bit of family history and capture your loved one’s stories on tape. The sound of loved ones is beautiful to me. I have voicemails that I will never delete off my phone from lost loved ones. This is a project you will never regret, and can be passed down to other family. We are going to work on getting authentic, vulnerable, REAL emotion and stories here, not just an account of facts, but an impression of this person’s humanity. .
  • Your project will be to record one conversation with a loved one. I will take you through technical aspects of recording (super easy!), how to back up and preserve this data, and dive into ideas of making this conversation count. This project can be done remotely, via the phone or in person. All you need is a phone. Beginner’s welcome!.
  • I’m a documentary filmmaker and lover of preserving real stories and people. Join me! .
