By Malika-Budur Kalila<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Next Generation Radio program got my attention as soon as I heard about it \u2013 even though I had no idea what the word \u201cnon-narrated\u201d meant. And the dates of the program gave me mixed feelings. I was excited to know that I had no classes the week of the project; however, it was the only off-week I had between spring and summer semesters. Since I\u2019ve always wanted to improve my storytelling using multimedia tools, I decided to apply and learn some tips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve worked on multimedia projects before, but Next Generation Radio was something else! I still can\u2019t believe that I completed so much work in only five days. I am now amazed to realize how much one can do with sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can surely say, the strongest part of this program is its mentors, who are very helpful and professional. The instant feedback I received from the mentors during the interview helped me ask strong questions and collect better ambient sounds, as well as capture the most interesting images. In short, they kept me on the right track! I am so happy that I got selected for the program and can easily say I would sacrifice any \u201cbreaks\u201d for projects held by Next Generation Radio. Thank you for teaching me what non-narrated means (in addition to countless other skills)! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
