About This Webinar
The right music and sound effects can transform a performance from the average to the extraordinary - if you've ever been moved while watching a poignant scene in a film then the chances are that music was instrumental in helping to drive your emotions.

In this session we'll uncover some of the secrets to using sound to help tell your stories. We'll think about what you want to achieve and the right audio to help you, and then where to source this content. It's also important to understand the legalities surrounding this area so we'll briefly cover copyright issues, royalties and fees. And finally, we'll think about creating your own sound content, with a few hints and tips for recording great sound.

    Graham Caplin
    Freelance Sound and Lighting Designer & Engineer, Radio Facilities

    Graham studied theatre production and design at Croydon College, whilst working as a follow-spot operator on the West End show Barnum. He's worked in small regional theatres, and one of his highlights was touring with a children's show in which he doubled as the back end of a pantomime horse!

    From theatre, Graham went on to become a sound engineer for Chris Tarrant for 2½ years at Capital Radio, travelling the world with the award-winning Breakfast Show.

    More recently Graham has been working for Radio Facilities as a sound engineer, specialising in radio microphone hire to education and the entertainment industry. Up to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic he also worked with several schools and colleges, advising on sound, and for the last seven years he has worked closely with the performing arts department at St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College, teaching students about lighting and sound, and helping them to create performances for their exams.
