Sound Sorceresses is a celebration of the value we bring as technical experts and cultural torchcearers. We’re focused on women actively engaged in audio storytelling.
The first edition of Sound Sorceresses was published October 1, 2023 and our second edition went live on January 1, 2024.
Can you believe we’re almost at the April 1 edition of Sound Sorceresses!? I am very excited for you to see what we have in store! We’ll be profiling some truly incredible women in this edition and I’m excited for you to get to know them!
But we also have some incredible women for you to continue getting acquainted with from the January 2024 edition. If you’ve ever felt at a loss for how to “treat” your room, you are going to love having the opportunity to review Ashley Dickson-Ellison’s article.
Finally, at the end of this newsletter, there are a few behind-the-scenes changes I’ll be mentioning. I’m glad you’re here, so let’s dive in!

Ashley Dickson-Ellison of Unabridged Digital Media Solutions truly is the queen of adaptability. From her career pivots (high school teacher turned audio storyteller) to her ability to record basically anywhere has me in absolute awe of her.
Because my own office setup evokes more of a “if there’s enough clutter, surely it will sound great” (see picture below) Ashley’s comment…
While I am not someone who does major room treatment prior to recording, there are some circumstances where modifications are needed before recording.
filled me with immense relief! If Ashley doesn’t usually do “major treatments” to a room, maybe I’m doing okay.

Last, but not least, some changes and news!
Our last two magazine editions have used an online magazine builder called Flipnsnack. I really wanted to like it, but the truth of it is I do not. Even for basic things like hyperlinks, it’s just not what I need and it’s not what you deserve! The flipbook effect is one that I LOVE so we’ll be doing a run with Heyzine. I’m eager to give it a try and to hear what you think!
Finally - one goal for this magazine is to ultimately help me and those who write for Sound Sorceresses to make a decent living. It’s been slow going in 2024 due to illness (which I’m sure isn’t surprising if you’ve been reading this year!) and I’d love to hear from you. What would you need to advertise with a magazine that has 340 subscribers and over 1000 views every month?
