Sound design is a technical/conceptually creative field. It covers all non-compositional elements of a film, a play, a music performance or recording, computer game software or any other multimedia project. A person who practices the art of sound design is known as a Sound Designer.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognizes the finest or most aesthetic sound mixing or recording in film with the Academy Award for Best Sound,[1] historically given to an English-language film. The new Tony Award for Best Sound Design is to be awarded for the best sound design in American theatre.[2]
Sound Design can also be defined as: “The manipulation of audio elements to achieve a desired effect.”
