Roles, Significance and Importance of Sound/Audio in the Animation Production Pipeline

sound, it seem like just a word but a very essential in the world of animation. Sound is the best way to give impact to the story because,  if sound is missing it would be a life without color. In this dimension action is not always the main impact of animation but, the sound as well give spices to our creation.  According to Midul Donkery "A truth whispered among animators is that 70% of a shows impact comes from the sound track".  So, the idea of action speak louder than words is not really a big deal because, sound and action are both the best way to produce emotion effects effectively that really attract audiences around the world. 

Music and sound are different but, both of them are significant to animation. Sometimes music and sound makes your animation worse if there is no timing and appropriate music/sound applied to animation. According to Mark Simon "The right music can give your animation flow, sound effects can give your work a solid feeling that adds to the illusion of life".  I agree, because music and sound makes our animation more effective than action alone. Like for example a crying character, if action alone you will not really feel a 100% of its emotion but, if action is accompanied by sound it would be a 100% more attractive, effective, and interesting. So light your life with music and sound.
