Text on screen: Program Spotlight: Audio Aesthetics and Technology

Student David F.: Our audio program covers everything you need to know about working in audio and project top to bottom. So you know what microphone you can use. Are you going to use hardware equipment on the way and now it's on your computer? You know what plug ins are you going to use? We learned about all of that here.

Student Alejandra T.: From the basics. You would then develop your skills even further, work together with your classmates, set up sessions, go on location recordings around campus, around the city, work with professionals outside in the field and try new things out.

The facilities that we have are abundant, so we have three studios. We have Studio A, B and C, all with their own different capabilities.

And then we have our live room, which is our big room that we have full bands come in and we set up and we hold a lot of equipment and gear in there for all students to have access to.

David F.: There's so many options here. We've got a new facility that's actually ready for Dolby Atmos mixing. They've given us the opportunity to already start working on this brand-new cutting-edge technology while we're students, before we're even out in the field.

Text on screen: Expert Faculty: Industry Professionals Bringing Experience to the Class

Alejandra T.: Most of our faculty are working professionals, so the advice that they're giving us are active. And it's not just coming from a textbook. It's a real-life experience coming into the classroom.

David F.: It's not like a huge lecture class where I'm just one student of many. I really do feel like they know who we are and we're always available to go out during office time and talk to them.

Alejandra T.: They care so much about what we learn and how we learn it and how we use what we learn for the future.

Text on screen: Real World Experience: Working and Connecting with Professionals in the Field

Alejandra T.: We have the opportunity to go on an internship. It's a really great opportunity to take these skills outside of the bubble of school versus what it would be like outside of that in the real world.

David F.: People I've met here and the techniques I've learned have already led to real world employment opportunities and a big, big part of that is the Audio Engineering Society Club that's here.

Alejandra T.: Through AES we connect with professionals outside of Webster. You connect with a whole international organization of what it means to be in the audio community. It's building relationships for the future.

We do collaborate with other departments. We've worked with animation students, the music department, and we also work with film students as well.

Being able to collaborate is so much fun and challenging and its own ways because it shows you the different avenues that you can take in the audio field.

David F.: It's a smaller community and it feel like it's really close knit. everyone's a resource for each other. I've made friends here that I will continue to be friends with.

Alejandra T.: Being here at Webster has just made me grow more as a person and my friendships and my family life and my work life and I just feel like a better person overall because of it.
