I've always been the kind of person who has trouble specializing. It's hard for me to focus on just one thing when I've got ten other things I want to do, too. The upside of this is that I know a little about a lot of things. The downside is that I'm not particularly good at anything. The term Jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none might as well have been coined to describe me.
But for the last several years, it's been very clear that one of my skills is more in demand than any other: Sound Design. This is partly because I'm good at it, and partly because sound design is a neglected field. There aren't that many people who do it, and there are even fewer who do it well. Many in the theatre community think so little of Sound Design that you can't even win a Tony for it anymore (more on that here).
