[nfbmi-talk] mcb financials updated may 23

in college I focused on communication and mass media, and the audio aspect is what I really enjoyed.

During my various jobs coming back with wonderful audio is a treat.

I enjoy listening to well engineered audio performances. Such as those produced by NPR in their "Tiny Desk Concerts" and other projects. you can experience these projects on NPR's Youtube page. User name is "nprmusic".

Good audio is a pleasure to experience and the more folks trained in producing good audio, even if they don't play an instrument or sing.

The sound booth is for teaching students about broadcasting careers.  
This was purchased with ARRA funds and was part of a vision that was developed during my absence from the TC.  We are quite determined to make lemonade in this case, and we are excited about the sound booth.  We have many, many students who are very interested in careers in broadcasting, and they do not generally know much at all about what such careers entail.  At the same time, there are all kinds of jobs in this arena these days.  Not only is there main stream radio, serious radio and other specialty networks, but voice over for cartoons, narration for descriptive video and other kinds of entertainment that  require a background and experience in broadcast technology.  Providing this training to our customers is just like the venture that the Colorado Center for the Blind had for a while, training students in Clean Room, operations.  

This is an exciting prospect for us and I hope that you guys can share in that enthusiasm.  .  

Warmly, Christine
