My name is Kate. I’m a writer obsessed with sound. I’m a radio-geek obsessed with words. More about the professional me here.
Room sound, also known as “nat” sound, room tone, or “ambi,” is the audio of whatever’s taking place in the background beneath the principle players in your radio story. It’s the sound beneath the story. Without it, the story doesn’t exist.
Before moving to this new, spiffy address, I wrote anonymously for six years here.
