Audio is integral to the success of a modern day moving image piece. This can be evidenced by the state of the acting industry following the introduction of true audio into films. Actors previously praised for their roles were now having to step out of the limelight as their vocal performance did not suit the characters that they were now portraying. Audio introduced and encourage audiences to view cinema in a new light and opened film up to new critique as well. Beyond acting prowess, audio quality was now a thing that an audience could praise or criticise, the voice talents on display and anything related to the soundscape of the piece. Cinema was now being challenged to become better as there were now more categories that a movie could be judged on.
Audio as a whole could be describe as a curse on older actors’ careers, however to the average cinema goer and to film enthusiasts today, it was a blessing.
