WORKSHOPS
TO REINVENT TRAINING AT THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
For Beginners & Professionals.
WHY?
TO REINVENT TRAINING AT THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
The digital revolution has democratized audio creation and production, triggering an explosion of DIY artistic vocations.
Moreover, the mass of “how to” online content gives the impression that it is possible for anyone to train themselves on any subject and become proficient from their bedroom. While many try as it is free and easy, results show that it is actually very hard to train yourself and gain a level of proficiency that will be enough to obtain any level of meaningful professional success. Even in the age of the Internet, receiving professional support remains a must to acquire real skills.
Our workshop is based on the DIY approach, offering a short but intensive program which lets students choose their own personal audio creation projects as the basis for their training, while professional audio producers provide the technical knowledge and guidance that will enable students to acquire the skills necessary to produce professional-grade audio and achieve their goals in the real world.
