Artistic Overview:
Finn is the story of a shark who longs for belonging while being his true self. In this world, sharks are only allowed to be tough and cruel, as any respectable member of the Shark Guard should be. Finn's spirit, however, asks him to express himself through dancing and dressing himself with the sparkling beauty of the sea. With the help of Seasil, who is herself in a quest to express her true self, Finn proves that it is possible to be a Shark Guard while being true to his musical, brilliant, and sparkly self.

I aided Justin Schmitz in creating a world that immerses the audience and the cast in the underwater setting of the play. The following are the sound effects I build under Justin's guidance.
