Course Overview

Whether recording audio in-studio or in the field, Sound Design & Production students learn to master technical skills and refine their artistic style.

Without a sound designer to create the perfect soundscape, the film, television and game industries are incomplete. Applying the technical and conceptual aspects of sound, students become audio storytellers working alongside visual production artists to recreate the real world in a digital context.

Students learn how to create sound from scratch through capturing of real-environment sounds as well as Foley creation. At George Brown's studio production facilities, students learn mixing, video game audio, dialogue editing and ADR, sound design and recording to recreate audio landscapes.
