Sound is an essential pillar of a media project, and can also be the soul and heart beat❤️🔊

It’s so powerful in strengthening your storytelling and narrative. Sound brings visuals to life, music sets the tone, and together they both add to the unique identity of your story. Making the product feel cohesive, one of a kind and professional.

Something can LOOK professional, but not feel believable, cinematic, or hit the way you intended - and that’s where skillfully recorded audio, editing, sound design and music can make all the difference.

Whether you are in pre-production, production or post, it’s always a good idea to be thinking about what your project is going to sound like.

I can help you with that!

Together, we start with your vision of the story, vibe and aesthetic of what you are making. That is the foundation of where my work starts. Clear communication and direction from start to finish.

With your vision as the starting point for my focus, I can make intentional sound choices, design, compose and mix around our shared vision of what things should sound like.

Meanwhile, this allows you to focus on the bigger picture of your project and the numerous other departments it takes to bring your vision to life.

Let’s make you vision sound awesome!

“Sam brought such care, precision, and fun to the sound design of our film, Creatures of New York. He was thoughtful about every detail, and incredibly collaborative throughout, always finding a way to enhance the storytelling. I felt so supported creatively whilst working with him, and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who really listens, both to sound and to people.”
