BroadcasterU Audio Workshop: Fundamentals and Amping Your Content

Audio is important because it informs us and moves us in ways visuals can’t. Despite its importance, developing compelling audio can often be a confusing endeavor. We welcome those seeking to improve their fundamental comprehension of audio and challenge how they develop their audio moving forward. This event will demystify the art of broadcast audio by covering fundamental concepts for people looking to improve their setups and overall audio experience for their respective audiences.

The workshop is being taught by Michel Henein with the space being provided by DigiPen Institute of Technology. Along with other senses, audio provides an important context for human experience. Seeking to utilize his knowledge, skills, and experience Michel wants to challenge how our community understands audio and what they can do to take it to the next levels. Come learn from someone who has spent their career bringing life to audio. *Please note we are unsure, at the moment, if we will be able to provide resources for note-taking and writing for those that attend, so bring your own if you can.
