Want to make sound do the storytelling?
Delivered by: Aura Studios (online)

In this online Unreal Engine workshop you’ll build a short spatial audio scene that guides attention and creates presence, step by step.
This session focuses on gaining practical skills in spatial audio. You’ll set up a simple listening environment, learn how spatial audio (sound placed around the listener with headphones) can shape mood and focus, and create clear audio cues that support a scene.
By the end, you’ll export a short demo you can share or bring into an engine later, plus a checklist to help you keep developing.
Who it’s for
Filmmakers, producers, artists and designers who are new to spatial audio. No prior audio experience is required. Headphones are recommended.
Access and follow-up
Live captions will be enabled. A recording, starter assets and a short recap will be shared afterwards so you can continue at your own pace.
