AUDIO DESIGN is for writers, directors, editors, producers, camera, and sound persons, set designers, production managers, podcasters, all with the heart of a poet.

ÒA sound always evokes an imageÓ, Bresson says. Audio Design is designed to wet the appetite for personal exploration and growth. .

It fosters aural ideas and analytical thinking about how to explore the narrative functions of sound. It covers the building of voice, music and effects tracks and how they can affect the audience. It discusses the formal elements of film and television production and believes that a form without feeling is a failure.
