Kristin’s “wow” sound experience:I associate the wow of sound with live music – all kinds – symphony, opera, rock, alternative, blue grass, pop – the wow is about seeing the passion someone puts into performing and having the music swell so that it evokes feeling and emotion.
Kristin’s favorite part of a day at Listen:
When we circle the wagons and do what it takes to make something happen. There is a spirit at Listen that we are working as one team to meet our goals and I have found that the best successes are those that take all of us to realize them.
Kristin’s dream sound product of the future:
A device that would give you the ability to sing with a beautiful voice. Those of us that love to sing but only sing in the shower, our cars or maybe with a small group of friends could now sing loud and proud!
