She has lectured and been a guest artist at numerous universities around the country and is an audition, vocal, and dialect coach in New York City. In 2020, she was honored with the Distinguished Achievement Award in Sound by the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT).
James LeBrecht served as the resident sound designer at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. His more than 100 theatrical sound designs have been heard at theatres throughout the world. He has sound designed and mixed over 200 documentaries and narrative films. He co-directed the Oscar-nominated documentary Crip Camp with filmmaker Nicole Newnham.
“James LeBrecht and Deena Kaye have written the most practical, broad-minded, useful book on sound in the theatre that has, to my knowledge, ever been published in English .... It is a book that every sound designer needs to have; it is a book that every theatre person would enjoy and profit from.”
Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director for the Public Theatre
