Sport, Story, and Sound in Browen Livingstone's 'Shooting My Shot'

The Sonic Dash Podcast continues its behind-the-scenes look at the winning pieces from the latest Sonic Dash, themed "Go For Broke." In this episode, host Cory Choy (founder of the Dash, Emmy-winning sound mixer, and owner of Silver Sound Studios) sits down with Glasgow-based audio creator Bronwen Livingstone, who took home third place with her piece "Shooting My Shot."

Bronwen walks through how she distilled a deeply personal and vulnerable story into just two minutes of audio. She discusses her scripting method, including a handwritten "paper sound edit" where she marked emotional cues and sound effects before ever opening a DAW. Plus, she shares more about her journey as a para athlete and how the discipline she's gained from sports shows up in her creative approach.
