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.
