Foley Artists

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:00:00 +0000

When it comes to film sound, "Foley Artist" might be the most important job you've never heard of. These performers record custom, synchronized sound effects to create the sounds for characters' footsteps, movements, and much more. It's exhausting and delicate work, and when it's done right, the audience doesn't even notice it's there. In this episode, we tour the Warner Brothers Foley stage with Foley Artists Alyson Moore and Chris Moriana, and Foley Mixer Darrin Mann.

167 - Putting Tropes To Rest

Tue, 08 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Way back in January, the great Mark Mangini penned a little blog post outlining some audio tropes that he was hoping to put to rest. That post inspired some slack threads, facebook posts, and a good general discussion about how we can be more original and creative when tasked with designing sounds and situations that can have quick and easy answers. In this not-so-serious conversation Mark gets together with Tim, Teresa and René to break down some tropes, spell out some reasons for going there anyway, and maybe…just maybe…we retire the now infamous Wilhelm.

Lise Wedlock: Foley Artist and Sound Designer for film, tv, and gaming

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 13:00:00 +0000

“Using my background in dance and physical theatre, I enhance the characters, timing and textures of a films sound track. I have worked as a sound designer on many live action and animated tv series. Being in the mix and creating with the directors and musicians has helped me to better integrate my foley sound effects on feature films. The ‘source’ is the base of the recording process. Bringing real, organic objects into the recording studios and playing along with picture, under severe time restraints, is quite the recording session.”

Level 150: Kyle Athayde (the Kyle Athayde Dance Party)

Mon, 31 May 2021 13:34:27 +0000

I stumbled across Kyle Athayde and his band in a unique way. I first discovered Kyle as a jazz vibraphonist while listening to one of my current favorite jazz pianists, a guy named Sullivan Fortner. Sullivan’s newest album is a duo album with Kyle on vibes (called Tea For Two). I hadn’t heard of Kyle, so I went to YouTube and typed in Kyle Athayde. His band, the Kyle Athayde Dance Party, came up with a bunch of video game covers, and there were also links to videos of his days as a professional Smash Bros player. So I immediately emailed him and scheduled an interview. It was great fun talking with Kyle about games and jazz! You can support Level with Emily on Patreon.
