I know you’ve always wondered what making an audio tour looks like-Well…here’s my photo essay. We just wrapped up production for the upcoming refresh of the Masterworks: Jewels of the Collection exhibition Audio Tour. For some productions we use professional voice talent and sound engineers. As a producer, when we record I have to watch the script closely to make sure that everything is accurate, and make last minute edits (sometimes things have to be rewritten on the spot). Ellie, our voice over artist, has been the voice of the 2nd & 3rd (Gateway & Masterworks) floors and our contemporary exhibitions for the past two years. Tim, our sound engineer has worked on over ten tours for the museum.
All of our Audio Tours are available on iTunesU Beyond Campus for free. 40,000 people downloaded tours and podcasts last year, so be sure to visit!
