Found in Translation

Someday they'll figure out how to make radio with subtitles.

Until then, producers working in foreign countries resort to voiceover, an uncongenial tool that can suck all the rhythm and humanity out of your best tape.

In this workshop for anyone traveling overseas or considering a trip, Gregory Warner offers tips (and audio examples) on how to make intimate radio in a country you don't know and a language you don't speak. Also, how to choose a fixer, prep a translator, and keep everybody safe... all on a freelance budget.
