Introduction to the Association of Sound Designers

The ASD is a community of UK Sound Professionals and Students. Our aim is to provide a network of support to those working in theatre sound, through educational and professional development resources, social events, access to equipment and our mentorship scheme.

The ASD also provides a mouthpiece for the industry - to vocalise the issues our members face, and to improve their working lives. Our focus for the coming year is on improving access to sound making as a career for a broad diversity of young people. The ASD is a registered charity, run by a Board of 6 people. Our membership is formed of Professionals, Associates, Future Professionals and Corporate Members. We communicate through a monthly newsletter The Herald and a twice yearly print magazine Echo. There is a Forum through which members connect with each other to ask work questions and share knowledge, and Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
