I have recently graduated from the National Film and Television School where I was studying Location Sound Recording. Whilst there I learnt many skills ranging from using many types of hard disc recorders to operating a Fisher Boom. I am keen to do Documentaries and Drama and am looking for work in these areas.
Since graduating I have Boomed two Feature Films, "Booked Out" working with John Crossland and "Peter" which Merv Gerrard mixed! This has been a brilliant 9 weeks, both shoots were challenging but I feel I achieved a lot! I now have 4 weeks booked in June on the childrens TV series "Bookaboo" with Malcolm Hirst which I am very much looking forward too! I am currently available for work between the 8th of may 2010 and the 1st of June!
Background:
I discovered my passion for sound whilst working in a recording studio at university and since then I have managed to develop skills in many different areas. I have mixed radio plays and live television and boomed on numerous TV dramas including Doctors and Casualty. Whilst training at The National Film School I gained experience on a Fisher Boom as well as learning to record and mix on many different machines.
I am hard working and keen to learn different
methods working with different people. I love Booming and hope my career takes
me onto great things! I would also love to work on Documentaries, I have
recorded 2 during my time at NFTS and both have involved a lot of engagement
with the participants, I feel my personality is well suited to the doco sound
mixer role to relate to people quickly and easily! I am friendly and easy to
get on with! I have my own car and am available to work in any area now but I am based in Ealing.
In my spare time I enjoy rowing and going to the gym which helps my strength for those long scenes on long poles! and ice skating just because it’s really fun!!
