Lydia Fry
Growing up in a family that encouraged the arts, Lydia began her passion for sound as a musician. This lead her to study sound technology at the International Academy of Design and Technology in Toronto and go on to work full time in the industry for the past 10 years. Despite her age, Lydia's ability to work with artists, lead teams and mix great audio has given her the opportunity to be the head tech for a Toronto-based musical theatre production and lead a team as the head tech for a cruise ship. Lydia's passion to see other technicians excel led her to begin SoundMind in 2012, which offer on-site training with volunteers and beginning techs.
