Sound Design
The art of creating the aural world of a theatrical production, encompassing sound effects, ambient atmosphere, music playback, microphone placement, and the overall sonic experience for the audience. Sound designers work with directors to shape how the audience hears the show—from thunder effects and birdsong to the reverb on an actor's voice. The discipline has grown enormously with digital technology and now has its own Tony Award category.
