  • Authentic Voice’: Challenges and Opportunities for Voice and Self-Representation in Two ABC Storytelling Projects

    Authentic Voice’: Challenges and Opportunities for Voice and Self-Representation in Two ABC Storytelling Projects

    Volume 40, 2013 Sasha Mackay and Elizabeth Heck Capturing the ‘Authentic Voice’: Challenges and Opportunities for Voice and Self-representation in Two ABC Storytelling Projects Abstract: This paper discusses the opportunities and challenges that arise within storytelling projects that are facilitated by public service broadcasters and that aim to amplify the voices of ‘ordinary people’. In particular, it focuses on two of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s current life storytelling projects: ABC Open and Heywire. In recent years there has been a noticeable move by various public institutions, such as public service broadcasters, cultural institutions including art galleries and libraries, and community media and arts organisations to capture and disseminate the voices and viewpoints of ‘ordinary people’ through inviting them to share stories about their lives. One of the foremost objectives of many such projects is to provide under-represented individuals and groups with an opportunity to express and represent themselves, and thus change or challenge representations that have been created by others; as such, the capture and broadcast of ‘authentic voices’ is a central value. This paper begins by discussing the challenges and opportunities that arise within storytelling projects that are facilitated by public service broadcasting institutions (PSBs) and that aim to amplify the voices of ‘ordinary people’ (Thumim, “Everyone Has a Story to Tell”). It discusses how ‘voice’ and ‘authenticity’ are defined and examines ways in which self-representations are facilitated, curated, and broadcast within such projects in order to demonstrate ways in which institutional objectives and editorial policies shape and often limit project participants’ capacity for a voice that is authentic for them.
