Module Overview: Sound Design and Technology
Introduction
While set, costume, and lighting designers are responsible for everything that the audience sees, the sound designer and their team are responsible for everything that the audience hears. What that specifically requires can vary quite a bit from show to show and is highly dependent on factors like the performance venue, type of show, and number of performers. This makes the sound designer one of the most adaptive people in the room.
