Grant Hardy introduces us to the Mayday Club’s Amplify: Sound, Voice, and Radio course that took place this fall, in partnership with Disability Alliance BC. The sixteen-week course provided neurodivergent youth with hands-on experience in the fields of voice acting and radio hosting, including the opportunity to create an original radio series. Nicole Provost, the Founder of Mayday Club, shares what Mayday Club is: a grassroots initiative to empower neurodivergent youth by providing employment, leadership and travel opportunities. She also tells us about the Amplify Course and its impact on participants. Students Joey Lim and Liam Cooper speak about their experience in the Amplify course, as well as share a sneak-peak of the radio episodes they created. Jason Simpson with On the Mic Voice Training has over two decades of studio experience spanning commercials, animated series, films, and video games. He was an instructor for the Amplify course, and chats with us about his experience and takeaways. The students' produced mini-series airs on CIVL Radio this spring; the first episode, an original drama, airs on December 25th.
