Sound Recordist | Field Recordist | Sound Editor | Dialogue Editor

My job is to be invisible. My goal is to make what I do completely unnoticeable and faithfully convey the performance intended, precisely and with maximum fidelity.

Meet Mark, an audio veteran with 30 years of experience, dedicated to invisibility in his work. Inspired by a childhood passion for film, he found his true calling after THX training at Skywalker Ranch. Mark's journey includes collaborations with industry giants like Lucasfilm, Paramount, and Fox.

His former role as an AV installer and experience producing content for corporate YouTube channels prepared him well for a recent venture as a freelance sound recordist. From designing playback systems for Dolby Atmos to capturing dialogue and sound effects for Film & TV, Mark's skills are versatile.

Above all, he prioritizes transparency, ensuring seamless audio from capture to playback. Mark's genuine love for sound fuels his enthusiasm in bringing visions to life with the perfect soundtrack. Reach out to Mark for your next project and witness his magic firsthand.

My first award in film.

I am so proud to have been recognised for my work on Maiken ( A Howard Perry film).

Howard trusted me with the production sound recording on a 4-day shoot ( which happened to be the 4 hottest days of 2022!). Then I spent over 100 hours on the edit & sound design building everything from the dialogue to the battle scene (the fantastic James Wedlock did the musical score). I am so happy that the final mix met & exceeded Howard’s expectations & As I said, I am so proud of this project especially as the sound has won its own award.
