Good final morning of #PM22! We're here at the closing keynotes settling in for a chill little livetweet, starting here! Live tweet this morning will be tips and tricks and thoughts as they come versus a full play by play. Stay tuned for thoughts from some of the best in the biz! #PM22

Okay, HEAR ME OUT. I'm live tweeting this session on how the @20korg sausage is made.

I know it's not fiction--but I KNOW we're all gonna learn a lot.

Live tweet starts here! #PM22 20khz takes 200+ hours per episode. This shit is METICULOUS. Honestly, a lot of what I learned about sound design for fiction from 20khz.

First tip: @trello ! This is the system the team uses for brainstorming, organization, and project management #PM22

Ready to PAINT WITH SOUND? 🎨 The legendary @starplanes is here at #PM22 to tell us all about sound design 😍 First, what the heck is a soundscape? Let's break it down;
-What does the audience want to know?
-Where does it take place?
-What is in the place? What things are there?
-How does the place FEEL?

And yes, you'll start listening to all the sounds around you closely #PM22

STOKED to talk about podcast cover art here at #PM22! This panel is all about standing out in a sea of other podcast cover art with panelists @michelegdale @Kristen_Hayford @joshua_trae and @galenbeebe! Live tweet starts here! Step 1: Establish your purpose

You need your podcast name, obviously, but what else is podcast art for?

It's taking your audio's vibe and giving your audience a visual intro to what they're going to hear #PM22

Back at it again here at #PM22! Our livetweet of F*#! Hollywood: How to Build the Podcasting Industry We Actually Want starts here!

And let us just say: Fuck Hollywood 😎

Popping in a second late to @missdefying talking a great first scene of an #AudioDrama here at #PM22! Live tweet starts here! First: think about the vibe of your story. Set the vibe up top!

Next: make your audience curious. Encourage them to ask questions. Who's the antagonist? What does the protag want?

Next: you do not have a lot of time to hook an audience. Add tension FAST! #PM22

IT'S @SarahRheaWerner TIME!!! 📢📢📢

Live tweet starting here for My Almost TV Show: An Honest Talk About My Podcast-to-TV Adaptation Experience

I cannot WAIT for this one. This topic is always, always on my mind! #PM22 First, a disclaimer: this is Sarah's experience, NOT a how-to! It's just their story.

And when they say honest, they mean it. They say making this presentation was "oddly cathartic" #PM22

Next live tweet here at the audio fiction track of #PM22 is starting! This session is on making ✨cinematic✨ audio with @misty_flores, @naomicshah, Zackary Grady, Adam Pincus, and @picturestart! 🎥 Q for Shah: Green Mountain is like "if a Hallmark movie were inclusive" 😂 -- how did Shah get into audio? What's their process?

A: Diversity and representation are factored into every single step of development. Why hasn't a project like this been greenlit? #PM22

Next live tweet: Faith McQuinn of @ObserverPix and @RealmMedia! This talk is on Dramatic Strategy for #AudioDrama! #PM22 First: how do you pick your best story idea to actually make?

1. What are you obsessing over?

2. Which is the easiest to outline?

3. Which one best fits the medium? ("Not every story you come up with should be a podcast.")

4. Which has the strongest characters? ymmv #PM22

Up next, we start the #AudioDrama panels! Live tweet of All Together Now: Audio Drama with Ensemble Casts with @chemicallywrit AR Olivieri @inkphemeral @MissAliHylton and @starplanes First up, introductions... but we all know them all, right? If you don't, go follow them and check out their work! These folks are all cornerstones of the industry #PM22

Livetweet of the #PM22 opening keynotes start here! Up first: a game of podcasting Never Have I Ever! Up first for keynotes: @gsoto777 from @edisonresearch presenting data from the annual Infinite Dial, 2022 edition. There was a dip in listenership this year--let's dive into why 👀 (spoilers: it's rona) #PM22

Our livetweets of #PM22 begin! First up, we have Tom Webster with Sounds Profitable to talk After These Messages: a study on Creative Execution of Podcast Advertising! Follow along here for what we expect are going to be some HUGE revelations 👀🧵 After These Messages is a study of 1049 weekly podcast listeners done by Edison Research about the efficacy of different types of ads: live improvised and host-read; scripted and host-read; and the same scripted ad read by a professional announcer (Ashley Hamer) 🧵#PM22
