Make Non-Profit PSAs that Rock with Audrey & DJ Llu \ Tuesday, February 23, 3-5p.m.

PSAs are still the most powerful way for you to tell the story of your cause, issue, or non-profit. Make it easy for local radio to play it by giving them a PSA that you make. This workshops will teach you:

• the hands-on skills of writing, recording, and editing a PSA;
• one-on-one support for learning Garageband (the audio program);
• and group feedback on how to make it really stand out.
• Plus, we will teach you where else your PSA can be heard beyond regular radio.

This is a GREAT workshop for local non-profits-held during a work day, right in Burlington!

This two-hour workshop will be offered Tuesday, February 23, 3-5 p.m. at VCAM/RETN’s new Media Factory space at 208 Flynn Ave.

Facilities, Materials, and Payment:

Macs are available for use during the workshop or we recommend that you bring your own (with Garageband already installed of course).
