Sound School

Sound Workshops

In-person training in location and post-production sound

I teach one-day workshops for educational establishments, companies or professional associations. They fill a whole day, and are full of challenging hands-on exercises to build skills and confidence, and very specific insights into what’s expected of professional sound people in the industry. Each workshop comes with handouts that’ll be useful tools for the next real job.

As well as helping camera operators and picture editors to brush up their sound work, I’m told that these workshops fill a gap in university filmmaking and media courses, which are often only able to cover location sound shallowly, and post sound analytically, rather than practically.

Past participants range from Anglia Ruskin University, East15 Film School (Essex University) and medical videographers of the Institute of Medical Illustrators, to filmmaking clubs and individual media students.
