Sound editing and mixing can often be thought of as invisible arts. When you watch your favorite film or TV show or play a video game, there is always a team of audio professionals behind the scenes who created the sounds you hear. In our April Lunchtime Lecture, Professor Korey Pereira will explore how sound can be used as a storytelling device to bring your favorite media to life.
