09.00: Is Voice Over Over? Producing Multilingual Audio

Talk in EN and FR with Marie Guérin and Lory Martinez, moderation: Isabelle Cornaz

In our multilingual society in a multilingual country, we face the problem that our content is often only understandable to a small audience. Audio pieces that work in different languages would be an absolutely Swiss thing, but little exists in the field. How do we change that? How do we adapt content for different audiences, playing with emotions and musicality? How do we create multi- lingual pieces that build bridges between the languages in such a way that listeners continue to listen even if they don’t understand everything? Can audio documentaries be a way to preserve minority languages?

Lory Martinez is a journalist and podcast producer from Queens, NYC, with Colombian roots, who moved to Paris. She is the founder of Studio Ochenta, a multilingual podcast studio.

Marie Guérin is a sound artist from France (Brittany), working for radio and on stage. She manipulates sound recordings and radio archives. Her work interrogates field immersion and sound heritage.
