Updated: Aug 28


Ever considered transforming your creative project into an immersive audio walking tour? Maybe you’re dreaming up an outdoor opera or compiling a list of local immigrant-owned restaurants you love to support. Whatever creative project you’re working on, whether it’s a professional pursuit or a side hustle, there are so many opportunities to turn your work into audio stories that you can share with the world.

With Gesso's creator platform, the process is as easy as uploading audio files, images, and creating a walking route. This not only expands the reach of your existing projects but also provides a unique opportunity for passive income.


The possibilities are endless, but for now, let’s dive into some examples.


Play or Theater Production: The vibrant world of theater is a goldmine for audio tours. You can create a tour based on a script, narrate compelling character arcs, or share intriguing backstage stories. You could even create an audio tour meant to be experienced before listeners step foot into the theater, setting the scene for the production they’re about to see.


Restaurant Crawl: Create a culinary journey that guides listeners through the best food joints in a city or neighborhood. Highlight local flavors, signature dishes, and hidden gems.


Music Festival: An audio tour could trace the history of a music festival, explore profiles of the performers, or provide a virtual walkthrough of various venues and stages.


Documentary Film: Your documentary project can be an excellent source for an audio tour. Convert your film's narrative into an audio script, discussing key themes, important scenes, and interesting interviews.


Historical Reenactment: Turn a historical reenactment into an educational and entertaining audio tour, reliving the significant events and figures of the past.


Dance Performance: Turn a dance performance into an expressive audio tour. Narrate the story portrayed through dance, describe the choreography and the dancers, and dive into the history and styles of dance presented. This can create an immersive and vibrant audio experience.


Photography Expedition: A photography trip could be converted into an audio guide that discusses spectacular locations, photography techniques, and intriguing subjects.


Literary Tour: Transform a literary event or book club meeting into an audio tour that delves into the lives of authors, explores bookstores, and even discusses thematic elements of specific books.


Craft Fair or Maker's Market: An audio tour can bring a craft fair or maker's market to life, discussing the various artists and artisans, their creations, and the stories behind their craft. Highlight the unique aspects of each booth and provide a sense of the fair's atmosphere.


Architecture Tour: An architectural study could be converted into an audio tour, exploring the design philosophies and historical contexts of significant buildings.


Once your audio tour is ready, you can publish it on Gesso's creator platform. Upload your audio, add relevant details, set a price, and voila – your creative project is now a self-guided audio walking tour available to a global audience.
