Collaboration with LOUIS ACOUSTIC

As IYUNO's studio director, Louis Chung collaborated with Andy Munro on the IYUNO Warsaw and LA studio projects in 2022, and co-designed the i-dub portable booth that let voice actors record remotely during the pandemic. The British precision design methodology absorbed through this collaboration is applied to every LOUIS ACOUSTIC project today.
