Summary
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Award winning sound designer Nevin Steinberg has made it to the pod! Nevin is such a captivating storyteller and everything he talks about is infused with gorgeous detail and a palpable feeling of both awe and gratitude. You know how they say "how can you not be romantic about baseball?" How can you not be romantic about sound design?! That's what I say, anyway.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In his first episode, Nevin walks us through his early career from working all night editing reel to reel tape with nothing but the ghost light and a healthy fear of the shadows (This is so fascinating and cinematic!! He can still taste the metal of the razor! That will make sense when you listen, I promise! I love it so much!) to dinner theatre and Sunset Boulevard and eventually a chance meeting on 42nd Street when he heard about a project called In the Heights. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nevin has the most beautiful things to say about his experience working on Hamilton, including how it saved his career and reinstalled his faith in art and the people he gets to make it with. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Plus, Nevin explains audio details in songs like "Wait For It", "My Shot", "Yorktown", and "Satisfied" including how they changed from the workshops to what you hear on stage today (no matter where you see the show).</span></p> <p><strong><a href="https://thewrongman.com/">The Wrong Man</a></strong></p> <p>///</p> <p><a href="https://gillianwithag.com/"><strong>Gillian's Website</strong></a></p> <p><strong><a href="https://twitter.com/TheHamilcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hamilcast on Twitter</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thehamilcast/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hamilcast on Instagram</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheHamilcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join the Patreon Peeps</a></strong></p>
