Odyssey AudioWorks™ encounters interesting work by many visually-impaired artists, so we want to share some of those unusual and original finds with you here on our Guests links page.

From 1999-2001, Voice Over radio commercial and entertainment talent and sound engineer, Jim Snowbarger, scripted, voiced, and produced his weekly Snowman Radio Show for LiveStreamAmerica.com, then for ACBRadio.org. Jim does all the voices in his hilarious short features. Click these links to hear samples of Jim's Work, Chocolate Milk Taster's Convention and Cattle Drive Evening Meal. (Rated PG13 for occasional mild language).

 

Boaten-Kodua Akyeampong, Bakabri Audio Lab, The Cultural Workers Band

An actor in Odyssey AudioWorks™ productions and others. As a visually-impaired agricultural activist entrepreneur in his native Ghana, Boaten-Kodua champions the end to burning agricultural waste and, instead, converting it into substrate for the cultivation of mushrooms as an inexpensive and abundant basic food source.

He also founded the Bakabri Audio Lab, of which he notes, "The Bakabri Audio Lab exists to train musically gifted visually-impaired persons to play musical instruments and digitally master their own creations. They are trained in the basic rudiments of music, ICT and sound engineering. Training is free!"

As if that were not enough for a "lifetime" of giving back to his Ghanan visually-impaired companions and community, Boaten-Kodua leads The Cultural Workers Band, a talented group of Ghanan composer-performers from around the capital city, Accra. He speaks of "... collaborating ... to bring out the most authentic African music, which has almost died out. Bakabri [Audio Lab] seeks to fill the void of authentic music and make the difference in music in Ghana."
