Project Voice Information

Project Voice was originally intended to be a Youtube channel series that would give space to Asian American womxn who wanted to share their voices on camera. However, after doing a run-through with several volunteers, Jessica Nguyen noticed that not everyone was comfortable enough being in front of the camera. As a result, the video initiative would have been more challenging and time-consuming for me, who already had few resources to begin with at that time, so I scrapped the idea. After a while of feeling stuck, the idea of doing a podcast came to my mind. Jessica recycled her first few scrapped video interviews and started afresh with Project Voice, using the audio files saved from the aforementioned project. The idea of podcasting came to be the best platform not only for our interviewees, who have become more than willing to voice their thoughts and opinions, but also for our listeners as well. Podcasting really fits with the fast pace of lifestyle that people of our generation have been acclimated to - if you’re always on the go, all you need is a pair of earphones to plug in, so overall, the podcast being technologically accessible has been a win-win situation for the Project Voice community.
