Highlight Moment from Between the Ears:
One such instance was when the narrator cut short in mid-sentence, and a noticeable silence followed, broken only by a distant ambient sound, such as wind or hum. The silence was palpable, increasing the emotional stakes and allowing space for reflection. It made me think about how silence, used knowingly, can say just as much as words or music.

When venturing into the 99 Sounds
library, I found a package called Sound Design Tools. This included abstract textures, risers, and cinematic hits. I’m looking forward to experimenting with these to highlight emotional points or cuts in my own episode. Particularly, using quiet textures under dialogue helps set a place or create tension without being distracting.
