Tiger Mom was such an exciting undertaking for me and my interests in audio. It provides such a poignant look at the complexities between cultural traditions and modern aspirations. My contribution was to help bridge these layers of emotion and intensity, amplifying the audience’s engagement and understanding of the characters’ struggles and triumphs. From the dialogue, to the sound effects and ambience, I had to infuse my perspective as an audience member, so that I could further capture the essence of the story and its characters. The basis of my workflow was through trial & error. Bounce an iteration, test it on my home theater or headphones, repeat. Not too different than dealing with music, but benefits far greater from the subtle decision-making between elements of dialogue and the bed underneath it.
