“Soundry helped me learn more ways to embrace my overflowing creativity in just a few days!”
“Thanks Stacey for all the resources from the Soundry workshop! I still keep the most helpful questions next to my desk.”
“Soundry gave me ideas for the musical I was writing.”
“It helped me to realize that I do have artistic talent, that I could actually be an artist.”
“Soundry was one of the most important experiences I have had as a developing artist. To say there was some apprehension is probably an understatement.
