Please, Thank Yous, and the Subtle Art of Asking for Exactly What You Want. 🔉 Sound designer and creative director, Culum Simpson, explains how specificity in voice direction can transform performance. “The devil is in the details, and when it comes to informing a real, living, breathing human… like all instruments of creativity, they sometimes need a little guidance.” You can read Culum’s full LBB article via the link in our bio.
