Cooperation between school, radio and museum
The audio guide was created in collaboration with the P-Seminar "Stadt.Land.Museum" of the Jean-Paul-Gymnasium Hof and presents the personal favorite objects of the 13 students.
The project began with researching and writing the audio guide texts and extensive voice training by BR presenter Clemens Nicol. Five main speakers were selected and additionally trained by speaker Ralf Hocke from Theater Hof. The other pupils contributed the original sounds in which they explained the choice of their favorite object. The English texts were translated and recorded by a native speaker, with pupils responsible for the quotes on object selection.
Under the direction of Sabine Hager, Managing Director of extra-radio, the texts were recorded in German and English in the radio station's recording studio.
