Celebrating International Women’s Day – and women in sound:

Sunday was International Women’s day, and that’s a great opportunity to celebrate the fantastic women working in sound.

I’d personally like to thank and celebrate two people who are crucial to making A Sound Effect what it is today: Adriane Kuzminski and Jennifer Walden. They’re a cornerstone of the site, and they’re gifted, hard-working and dedicated to sharing sound stories with the community – I’m really thankful to have the opportunity to work with them. I’d also like to thank brilliant contributors like Anne-Sophie Mongeau, Kate Finan and the numerous others who’ve shared insights and stories here on the site.

Adriane compiled a great list of stories and resources that feature women in sound some time ago – and that’s too good to not share again, so here it is. I’ll be updating it during the day.
