Sound design is the practice of creating soundtracks through specifying, acquiring or creating auditory elements using audio production techniques and tools. This skill is regularly used across creative disciplines including in filmmaking, videogame development and radio.

If you’re an educator, storyteller or artist, book in to this workshop to learn from sound artist and filmmaker Tom Allum (Barking Wolf). Tom will give you an introduction to concepts of sound design, sound effect manipulation and capturing audio.

Make sure to bring a smartphone with audio capture capacity.

Tickets are free for City of Belmont residents (Ascot, Belmont, Cloverdale, Kewdale, Redcliffe, Rivervale) and $10 for non-residents. If you purchase a residents ticket, please bring proof of your City of Belmont address to the workshop. Accepted forms include a current drivers licence, proof of age card, recent utility bill or opportunity card.
