    Podcasting

    Podcasting is becoming an increasingly popular way to enjoy audio-based media. My involvement in podcasting has been great fun. Whether it’s editing, recording, interviewing or planning, podcasting is enjoyable every step of the way.

    Quality is important when it comes to podcasting. Quality of presenting, quality of audio, quality of the edit… it is all necessary when differentiating between something worth people’s ears, and something will not interest them.

    I have been involved in over 100 episodes of the Southside Broadcasting podcast. I have also created my own podcast as part of my journalism course.

  • Radio

    Radio

    Being on live radio is a real buzz. From the “live” light switch-on to the organic way conversation evolves, it feels like a living, breathing experience.

    Being involved in Siren Radio as a co-presenter was what made me enthusiastic about audio platforms. I think it’s a privilege keeping people company and being invited into people’s homes through the power of radio.

  • Acting

    Acting

    Acting was a really enjoyable experience, and I hope to take on new roles in the coming years. As stated in this article, I believe that autistic women are natural actresses due to the habit of masking. That’s not to say I feel I am at a disadvantage. Measuring my facial expressions, body language, and tone are all necessary tasks for acting.

    Directing, writing and acting is a great trinity to learn together; it helps someone understand how creating a character works.

    Additionally, through working on radio and podcasts, I understand the importance of using voice to convey emotion and information. I believe that clear communication is paramount to any field. Of course, acting can take a more nuanced approach with communication. This is because the things unsaid on camera are just as important as the things said.

    Considering collaborating or hiring me?
    • Open to roles including main and background.
    • Enthusiasm for telling stories.
    • A dynamic voice and accent.
    • Can do English, South African and Australian accents.

    Presenting

    I am comfortable on both sides of a camera or a mic. With experience on audio and video platforms, I have realised how important and enjoyable presenting can be.

    Podcast and Radio

    Through co-presenting over 100 episodes of Southside Broadcasting, I have gained skills in interviewing, interacting and (hopefully) keeping audiences interested! This has been a highlight of my time studying journalism.
