Sound Design & Mixing for Theatre
What does it take to bring the sonic world of a musical to life? In this workshop, we'll dive into translating a script from page to stage, as well as look at some of the tools theatrical sound designers use from local theaters to Broadway shows. We will also get a chance to practice theatrical mixing techniques using stems from a large musical.
