SOUND-
RECORDING. MIXING. ASSISTING.
ABOUT.
Hi! I'm Charlie, a Sound Recordist, Mixer and AS, with 15 years experience in the broadcast industry. I started my career assisting in outside broadcast and live music recording trucks (40+ UK & European tours and productions), learning from some highly experienced engineers, and later transitioning into location and studio sound for TV, Film, Commercial and Corporate video (400+ productions). I provide a full complement of "Netflix approved" level sound mixing and recording equipment, suitable for any production, and I'm a full member of the Institute of Professional Sound.
I've worked on Documentaries, Feature length drama, Reality TV, Panel Shows, Commercials, Podcasts and Corporate video at all levels. My work has been broadcast on the BBC, ITV, Sky, MTV, XFM, London Live as well as the likes of Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, Twitch.tv and even TikTok. I've also helped to deliver numerous commercial campaigns and corporate communication productions for some of the biggest companies in the world.
A number of the films, documentaries and commercials that I've been involved in have received awards from film festivals worldwide and achieved recognition at the Cannes Lions and Brand Film Festivals. Films don't win awards with bad sound.
MORE THAN LOCATION SOUND.
While location sound is my main focus, I also offer post-production services from my own small studio (and occasionally on location too). Dialogue edits, re-recording mixes and music mixing and mastering. Audio restoration and analysis is also catered for; things like restoring damaged vinyl and tape recordings or just fixing bad digital recordings, all using the latest high end hardware and software processors.
As with my location sound I've worked on films of all scales; but my main pool of work so far has been documentary, short form drama and commercials. Providing dialogue processing, sound design and final mix. For info on my post work hit the Post Studio button below.
With toes dipped into both worlds I'm happy to provide pre-production consultation on all aspects of the audio for any project from capture to delivery, including guidance on the acoustics of locations and studio spaces based on findings from location recces.
