From Script to Soundwaves Workshop – DEADLINE: 2025/07/20

An immersive workshop in writing and producing audio drama!

Enter the world of audio fiction with this hands-on eight-part course led by Chris Tolley and Laura Mullin, the award-winning creators of CBC’s PlayME. With two New York Festival Radio Awards and a Webby Honouree to their name, they’ve helped bring Canadian theatre to a global audience—and now they’ll show you how to do the same.

Whether you’re writing a brand-new audio drama or adapting a stage play for the mic, this workshop will guide you through every step of the creative and technical process.

What you’ll learn:

• How to write or adapt scripts specifically for audio
• The art of world-building through dialogue, sound, and silence
• How to record, edit, and sound design your work using practical, accessible tools
• How to craft immersive soundscapes using Foley, effects, and layered sound
• Strategies for building a global audience and getting your work out into the world
• Industry insights from guest speakers working at the forefront of podcasting and audio storytelling

Whether you’re a playwright, screenwriter, or creative looking to expand your voice, this is your chance to explore the full potential of sound.
