Abstract
The sound designer, like all other members of the design crew, must collaborate with the director to ensure that a unified vision is maintained and presented to an audience. For my thesis, I created a sound design for William Shakespeare's "The Tempest." The production crew, the designers, the director, and I met regularly to share designs and progress made on the play. I also met or corresponded with the director and other designers individually to discuss more specific aspects of the production and my sound design in particular. While the sound design I created was my own work, the process of creating a play is very collaborative and involved input from other designers and the director to ensure that my work would fit stylistically with the rest of the production. While there were a few bumps along the way, my sound design came together the way I had envisioned it.
