Services

Two ways to work together

Animation

Sound design and mixing

Animated series, shorts and documentaries, where every sound starts from nothing: monsters, weapons, flying motorbikes, worlds that don't exist. Sound design, Foley and mixing through to broadcast delivery.

For example: Agente Speciale Legs Weaver (Rai Kids), Chi si ferma è perduto (Sky Arte), Partiti! (Sky TG24)

Documentaries and corporate video

From set to mix

I record production sound with post already in mind, then edit the dialogue, build the sound design and mix. One contact and one quote, with no hand-offs between different suppliers.

For example: UNHCR, Avio Aero, Ferrari Unpacked, documentaries for Sky Original and Sky Arte

Why a professional

Recording is easy. Sounding right everywhere isn't.

Today a cheap microphone and a few AI-based plugins let anyone clean up a voice and publish a video. It works, as long as you only listen on your own phone.

Then the same content plays through phone speakers, earbuds and soundbars, and each device changes it: dialogue gets lost under the music, the low end vanishes or booms, the level jumps from scene to scene. A good mix stays clear on all of them because it is built for each of these listening conditions and checked in a calibrated room, where you hear what is really there. And the further the content travels, the more rules it has to meet.

Web and social

Dialogue that stays clear on a phone speaker, levels that sit right with platform normalisation, no clean-up artefacts.

Television

Loudness and peaks to the broadcaster's specs. Miss them and the master comes back.

Calibrated room · 5.1 · Dolby Atmos

Cinema

Full dynamic range, a multichannel mix on calibrated monitoring, stems and an international version for distribution.

I use AI-based tools every day too, for dialogue restoration and clean-up. They are tools: the difference is the ear and experience of the person using them.
