What is post sound?

Post production audio editing is the process a film, television show, video game, or commercial goes through once the final picture is locked. This phase includes intensive dialogue editing, thoughtful sound design, and culminates in a final mix of all the disparate elements. Everything from smoothing Foley, to matching automated dialogue replacement (ADR), and balancing the musical score within the story are all a part of the journey.

Reel: Commercials

Sometimes it's not a film, but an advertisement or other visual effects elements that need creative sound design and mixing. Here's my reel for specific design elements outside the typical boundaries of dialogue editing and film mixing.

Skills

I am proficient in the following tools, all of which are industry standards. These resources are used the world-over by all major post houses and mixing studios.

Sound Editor, Designer & Re-recording Mixer based in New York City

With over fifteen years of experience editing in Pro Tools, my passion for sound initially started in high school, where I mixed and mastered both my own music and freelance work. From there, the enjoyment of manipulating the sonic experience brought me to post production audio for film and television while attending Columbia University in New York City. I enjoy the creativity that sound design encourages: everything from heightening tension and atmosphere to sharpening the seemingly mundane through nuanced Foley and calculated dialogue editing.

Continuing from those music roots, I welcome the challenge that rerecording mixing poses - striking the balance between audible dialogue, poignant musical hits, and refined sound effects. Additionally, I have experience running ADR sessions and Source Connect, making sure the talent is comfortable and confident in their performances. I've also run Foley sessions and loop group followed by editing the recorded cues for easy import.
