In all my years of teaching and helping sound designers, I see so few people actually practice the actual craft of sound design.

And I get it! It's such a mysterious and weird art form, and we assume we need to share everything that we create. Thankfully, though, we can just do what artists do and create tons and tons of "sketches" - little practice sounds that are never ever meant to see the light of day.
