Julian Treasure
Twitter was buzzing after Julian Treasure’s all-too-brief TED talk on “The Four ways Sound Affects Us” came online. Julian demonstrated a remarkable ability to convey extensive rich and meaningful information – about something we all take for granted – in a very short time span. Like so many TED gems, this talk is outstanding!
If you are interested in voice, then you are probably also interested in sound, and @JulianTreasure is definitely someone worth following on Twitter.
