On point. Also @YSWN_ has developed training to help audio business address this. No excuses.

PSA for any organisations speaking up about the lack of diversity across upcoming awards. Don’t forget about sound (which has shocking stats by the way) you know that little thing that without it you can’t hear the story of the film or show you’re watching….thank you!
