About this course

Sound design is the invisible craft that makes audiences believe in the worlds they watch. This course teaches you how professional sound designers record, edit, and layer foley, room tone, ambience, and hard effects to build the sonic reality of a scene. You will work through real project workflows, learn the perceptual principles behind effective sound placement, and deliver a complete sound-designed sequence by the final module.
