This week’s episode is part 1 of an interview with Eric Seay. He has a deep understanding of vertical sound. He combines his love for the artistic expression of music and the study of psychoacoustics (fascinating, right?). He and his team have done extensive research into the power of sound and are constantly pushing the limits of what is possible for the future of audio branding. This is a conversation I’ve wanted to have for a while – and I hope you find it as fascinating as I do!

The change in industries for voice actors with COVID
His background in audio
How becoming a musician and studying music theory influenced his current path
Why Eric minored in psychology
What exactly is psychoacoustics
