Disney Parks: How Imagineers use sound to enchant visitors


Listen Later

Theme parks have a way of transporting us to magical places, and sound is crucial in maintaining the illusion. From the most action-packed attractions to the background music playing between park areas, theme park sound designers have thought of it all. In this episode, we speak to Joe Herrington and Mike Fracassi, two Disney Imagineers who work to maintain the magic for guests of Disney Parks. 


Twenty Thousand Hertz is hosted by Dallas Taylor and produced out of the studios of Defacto Sound
