Radio reporting
Radio news reports allow the listener to find themselves at the heart of the action, to hear noises, to get a grasp of surroundings. To achieve this, a reporter must paint a picture in the listener’s mind through commentary, interviews and describing the atmosphere at the scene. Discover the techniques used by RFI journalists who travel across the world and broadcast daily reports on radio stations worldwide.

Editing and mixing for radio
With the digitalisation of radio - especially in small radio stations - it is essential that journalists and producers are able to produce a programme. Discover how to produce a professional radio show with technicians from RFI.
Voice training
Substance is essential, but in radio, form is of equal importance. Even the most important information may not catch the attention of listeners if it is not well delivered. This workshop will enable participants to understand the importance of their voices and how to make best use of them. Simple exercises will focus on dictation, speed, breathing and concentration to improve vocal techniques and efficiency.
Studio operation
This workshop allows technicians and sound operators to improve their operation of studios for broadcasting and radio production. Some theory work will deal with the basics of analogue and digital sound. Technicians will practice using studio equipment largely through practical work.
