”Working along Chris and the WithFeeling team during the Expo 2020 on a sonic strategy was one of the most eye opening and fun experiences for me. I came to realize the importance of sonic and music in creating a sense of space, comfort, and wonder.

Our Process: Crafting Engaging Audio Narratives

Our journey begins with scriptwriting, where our creative team collaborates with subject matter experts to weave engaging and informative narratives. These scripts serve as the backbone of our audio guides, designed to captivate listeners with compelling storytelling. We place a strong emphasis on professional voice acting, meticulously selecting voices that best match the tone and essence of each exhibit to forge a deeper personal connection with the audience.

Music and Sound Design: Setting the Atmosphere

WithFeeling's audio guides are distinguished by their custom music compositions and sound effects, meticulously designed to complement each narrative. Our soundscapes are crafted to set the mood, signify transitions, and immerse visitors in the story being told. This careful attention to auditory detail ensures each moment within the exhibit is vivid and engaging.

Technical Excellence in Audio Production

Our commitment to technical excellence is evident in the production of high-quality audio guides. We employ state-of-the-art technology for recording, editing, and mixing, ensuring our audio is crystal clear and accessible on a variety of devices. This dedication ensures visitors enjoy a seamless and enriching listening experience.

Collaboration and Customisation: Tailored Audio Experiences

At WithFeeling, we understand that every cultural site has its own unique story. That's why our service is highly collaborative and customisable, working closely with clients to tailor each audio guide to reflect the specific needs and vision of their exhibit. Whether it’s a detailed historical tour or an abstract art exhibition, we customise every element to ensure the audio guide perfectly encapsulates the essence of the subject matter.

Expo 2020 Dubai Audio Guides

WithFeeling is immensely proud to showcase our extensive expertise in creating engaging audio guides, exemplified by our accomplishment in delivering 20 multilingual episodes for Expo 2020. This comprehensive project encompassed meticulous scriptwriting, translation, and production, illustrating our adeptness at merging informative content with cultural sensitivity. We had the privilege of collaborating with Expo Historian Charles Pappas, who wrote and narrated the English versions, and took significant steps to ensure authenticity by casting Emirati talent from our colleagues at Expo for the Arabic narrations. This was a deliberate effort to forge a genuine connection with our audience. The recording sessions, conducted both at Expos state-of-the-art studio and on-site to capture the essence of the environment, were led by the WithFeeling team under the guidance of Dr. Federica, then SVP of Visitor Experience, and Chris Atkins, who served as Senior Multimedia Manager. Each episode, from 'Arabic Culture and Design' to 'The Journey of Al Rihla', was thoughtfully enhanced with carefully selected music and relevant sound effects, crafting an immersive and unforgettable listening experience. Our dedication to integrating the rich fabric of Arab and Emirati culture was evident, showcasing our unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation in audio guide production. The WithFeeling team’s cohesive effort not only captivated our audience but also set a new benchmark in audio guide production.
