Live-Scripting Unthinkable 202 (the Story of Hrishikesh Hirway of Song Exploder)

Special thanks to subscriber Sam Sager for the question about my scripting process. (You can ask me anything here, and I’ll consider it for a future post.)

Today, I wanted to share this “over my shoulder” post, taking you inside a live portion of my process.

In this case, I had already received an mixdown from producer Ilana Nevins, and my first step is to create a great intro preceding the show’s opening theme. This intro serves multiple purposes (which I will explain in the video), so I really invest a ton of time to get it right.

But it’s not always easy, so taking this approach really helps. I hope it informs YOUR work too, whether audio, video, written, or spoken.

Here is a link to the episode script. (It’s a live doc which I’ll be working on until the episode is finished.)
