Commission for Nicole Marie Green

Creative Stories from Page to Stage is the name of a theater pedagogy project that Kansas City, MO actress Nicole Marie Green received grant funding to produce. For this project, Green worked with young children to draft a set of stories which she would coach the children to realize on stage. Unfortunately, Green was required to pivot as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Green's solution for finishing the project while abiding by the health guidelines of the time was to commission fellow actors from the Kansas City area to voice act the stories. I was commissioned at this point to assist in the recording process remotely, as well as to edit all of the dialogue together with sound effects into four, radio drama style works. Said works can be found at the provided SoundCloud link. I was given much creative autonomy for this project, and being my first professional project it taught me much about professional time managment for creative projects. 

All of the recordings were made using a program called Zencastr, which effectively allowed the actors to record themselves locally while playing off of each other in a Zoom call-esque environment.

For more information about the project itself or the other actors involved, please contact Nicole Marie Green or myself.
