Great post on a great film. I love the 70s-vibe of Michael Clayton. Made me think of this terrific interview about the #sounddesign done by @jakeriehle when the film premiered – worth remembering that @designingsound is a treasure trove of sound stories: designingsound.org/2007/10/23/exc…

Being Black in Game Audio panel is going on right now! twitch.tv/igda #GameAudio

This is starting at 5pm eastern today. Check it out!

We sat down and dig through the current moment. Not a lot of audio talk in this episode, but an important discussion instead. Also, check out the #BlackLivesMatter resources included here. tonebenderspodcast.com/140-black-live…

SoundGirls Contributor Elisabeth Weidner shares her thoughts on taking the next steps to diversify your crew! We want the industry to look and sound meaningfully different in the future.soundgirls.org/black-technici…

As a black audio engineer, I thought I would take a second to talk about Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs), which are effectively sound cannons. They have been used to disperse crowds in the past, so I want to talk about them now as they can permanently damage your hearing.

just a reminder that the @POCinAudio directory exists— a place where talented reporters, writers, editors, producers who are all POC are available to employ their smarts, expertise, & talents for equal pay. pocinaudio.com

We’re live! The POC in Audio directory is a place where employers can find POC candidates, and POC can find each other for meetups, advice, mentorships, and collaborations. Check us out 👀 pocinaudio.com

ALL POC VOICE TALENT! To help save some time, I have put all of the open calls I have encountered asking for POC talent reels in this Google Sheet! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… If there is anyone I am missing, feel free to send a DM my way!

OK. That took a little while (a few more issues than we realized), but the site is back up and all good now. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!

For those of you who may be trying to access the site and are getting the "Site not found" response, it is likely just server shifting happening with our hosting (DNS routing thing). The site is not going away. It will likely be back up in a few hours.
