The Practical Art of Motion Picture Sound Reviews

If you're looking for the best source of knowledge and inspiration between two covers, you have only one choice: David Yewdall's 'Practical Art of Motion Picture Sound. Yewdall goes back and forth between step-by-step explanation of every part of the craft and reminisces on his career, all the while never forgetting the end product--the art.
- Larry Blake, Mix Magazine

Practical Art of Motion Picture Sound is a must-read for all students of sound, whether in film school, recording school or already working in the craft. More than that, it's a must-read for all students of film, and no doubt, a few directors and producers out there would benefit from a read. - Mix Magazine

I wish this book had been available when I was starting to make movies: there is probably no producer or director who will not benefit from David Yewdall's lucid and thoroughly practical explanation of creativity with sound, and the technical disciplines necessary to use sound as an art form.
- Roger Corman, Concorde/New Horizons

The DGA should make this book required reading before their members could go out and work in the industry! This is the first time I have ever seen the subject presented in such a realistic and practical way that is written in a style that everyone can understand.
- Jim Webb, Academy Award-winning Production Mixer and multi-channel expert

This is a book for ALL filmmakers, whether a budding 'in-the-trenches' sound editor or a producer/director who deigns to touch actual film. This book reveals HOW to achieve the creative soundtrack that the director reams of while actually saving money for the producer--and best of all, it's told in a witty, anecdotal style...A must read for both student filmmakers and the seasoned professional.
- Richard Anderson, M.P.S.E.

The best book on the subject to date, hands down. Thanks Mr. Yewdall!
-Ken Trevenna, Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology
