Allam Forster

At Yale University I developed and hosted two podcasts that examine the personal narratives behind academics, artists and individuals. One of these shows, The Lower Frequencies, is still in production. This show illuminates the personal lives behind scholarly contributions and, in doing so, sketches a broader narrative about the development of an academic discipline. I began to pursue my life-long dream of voice acting in the final years of completing a PhD in African American Studies and Film & Media Studies at Yale University. I have a thorough understanding of contemporary media and the importance of how recorded sound can represent different identities. I have completed The Pit's Level 1 Improv class and workshops/courses with luminaries in the field including Robert Clotworthy, and Roger Becker, Andy Roth, Billy Serow.
