ABOUT AUDIO PRODUCTION

Why Study Audio Production at Cedarville?

Audio has a way of staying with us. A favorite podcast. A memorable radio program. The perfect sound effect at exactly the right moment. Long after the experience is over, we often remember what we heard.

The audio concentration in ÌÇÐÄVlog's BA in media production will teach you how to create those kinds of experiences. You'll learn how to record, edit, produce, and shape audio while developing the storytelling skills that turn sound into something powerful.

Through hands-on projects, collaboration with other media production students, and mentorship from faculty, you'll create content that informs, entertains, and inspires. Whether your interests lead you toward podcasting, broadcasting, church media, live production, or something else entirely, you'll learn how to use sound to tell stories that people remember.

Before graduation, you'll complete either an internship or a senior project.

From Our Students:

  • The class work is nearly analogous to what real broadcasting work looks like, and there are many on-campus ways to gain practical experience in the fields — Cedars, Resound Radio, Production Services Group, etc. I've learned how to act in this field and what is expected of a journalist and an audio producer.
