Creating Audio Slideshows
Audio slideshows offer a powerful and cost-effective way to tell real-life stories online. Our one-day workshop will equip you with digital storytelling skills, showing you how to combine images with sound to create engaging content that brings your work to life.
Our hands-on workshop will give you practical experience of creating audio slideshows, including editing audio content, working with photographs and mastering storytelling techniques. By the end of the day, you will have the knowledge and confidence to create your own audio slideshow.

By the end of the day you will understand:
- how audio slideshows are different to standard videos
- the different types of audio slideshow available to you and how to choose which is best suited to your digital storytelling project
- where to find stories, case studies and other content sources
