ABSTRACT
Our focus in multimedia and digital storytelling is often weighted too heavily to the visual. The audio of a story—the particularly appropriate, quality renderings of sound—can make the difference between something that a viewer sticks with and something that barely makes it past the opening frames. As I mentioned earlier, good audio trumps weaker images. Weak audio, however, destroys the storytelling power of great images. It’s important to get the sounds right. Close your eyes. What do you hear? Learning to listen for natural sound and capturing it are essential skills for the digital storyteller. Your ear for natural sound will help add richness to all of your multimedia stories. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203541449/ac55b945-98f3-474e-a37f-952f9e07c43a/content/fig_u15_C.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
