Audio Engineer

I record dialogue audio and any other audio that will draw viewers into a more immersive experience of a visual story. Audio plays a critical part in storytelling, contextualising the visual intent. We are used to hearing and seeing selectively when we experience everyday life. As an audio engineer, I apply auditory effects, the ambient sounds, and post-processing to create audio that supplements and enhances what we see in a visual production. Auditory strategies can include loudness, placement and synchronised auditory clues that create an atmosphere, and reality to fulfil the aims of the visual story. The final mix brings the audio strategy together as an integrated and almost unnoticed enhancement of the visual storyline. A field recorder allows for multi-channel mixing or separation between multiple microphones, which is then mixed and balanced separately. Appropriate sound enhancement and audio processing is done in the final mix to ensure a glued experience.
