I was having lunch with another sound designer last weekend and we were both talking about how we missed the passing of dear family members while making air dates. I personally gained a great deal of weight moving into audio post from concert sound and had to struggle to find balance again. It is easy to look at the competition and the joy of doing what we do and get caught up in what "needs" to be done to produce a good product and to remain on top as an artist.  But the fact is, being a great sound designer requires skill, talent, creativity and a certain inner peace that allows you to deflect panicky clients and technical minefields and come up with innovative ways to tell a story and engage viewer all by the tick of booked session time.   Occasionally people in my field will ask how I have time to learn Spanish, travel, volunteer, be a green activist, an animal lover, take care of my aging relatives or teach spin classes and all I can say is that...I would not be able to continue doing what I do at work without these personal outlets. When your personal life is full you have soo much more to offer when working.</p> I want to thank you for writing this article.
