ABSTRACT
This introduction provides an overview of the book's content and how readers, even with no prior audio production experience and minimal equipment, can experience a unique four-stage journey, from discoverer, developer, deliverer, to decoder, which results in the students finding their voice and creating audio content that reflects their individuality. Recognizing that a student starts from a point of lacking the technical skills to produce polished, well-edited audio, the objective is to develop their working knowledge of audio production, making the most of their personality and expressiveness. The goal is to encourage students’ passion and creativity in the learning process. This chapter also explains the important objective to create R.E.A.L. audio (relatable, engaging, authentic, and liberating), which describes the distinguishing hallmarks of what audio sounds like from someone who has gone through this journey of self-discovery.
