ABOUT ME
My name is August, a sound designer based in Calgary, Alberta who focuses on expressing creative storytelling through the art of sound. I specialize in post-production audio, concentrating on sound editing, re-recording mixing, foley. I studied in Sound Design for Visual Media at the Vancouver Film School, where I had the opportunity to learn and hone my skills as someone capable of working in audio for film, television, and game audio.
In my experience as a sound designer, I have gotten familiar using technical tools to help streamline my workflow. I have worked with several DAWs including Pro Tools, which I have received Avid certification for, Reaper, and FL Studio. I also have garnered familiarity with game audio tools including the middleware FMOD and Wwise as well as game the engines Unity and Unreal Engine.
My creative approach to my sound design is to meticulously plan out what I need beforehand then work my way through each step in an efficient manner. I often start each project thinking about what kind of story I want to convey to the audience and devise experimental ways to make each sound fit exactly what my client desires to fully bring the listener into their story.
