Solid sound design is instrumental to a film or television programme’s success. A sound designer takes advantage of the huge variety of noises we hear in our everyday lives, thinking of experimental ways to create an audio environment that supports on-screen action and engages audiences.

Multi award winning sound designer and dubbing mixer John Cobban joined a small group of students and career starters to discuss his craft and career highlights spanning 25 years of crafting sound for numerous films, documentaries, dramas and animations, including Murder, Eve, Two Doors Down and latest BBC hit The Replacement.
